Best Beginner Basher? - NEW BL-2S Brushless Traxxas Rustler 

Agreed. I was blown away to discover that all drifting is done on 2S, and those things scream!

@@scalebuildersguild if it is screaming on 2S you want to see, check out 1/10th touring car modified and the likes :D

I bought a slash platinum going on 6 years ago, and I run it on 2s and it's as fast as my buddy's with professional tekno sct410.3 trucks with top the line electronics. I only did a few upgrades to make it a track weapon.

I've got a slash 2 wheel drive that I built from a base model. The 7200kv motor screams on 2s... I had to put fishing weights on the nose to keep the front end down and give it some sort of steering

​@@scalebuildersguildDrifting is done on plastic wheels with zero friction so of course 2s would be good enough. I still find 3s better for bashing for where i use mine anyway

Thanks! We've got to support our local LHS!

That's amazing! Sounds like an awesome shop... where do you live?

@@scalebuildersguild I'm in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, my hobby shop is Hobby Express in Cranberry Pa, 20 miles north of Pittsburgh.....2 miles from my work...lol... amazing hobby shop they do online sales also, but great place to walk into!!!!

That's awesome! We have to support our LHS!

Glad to hear it!

Glad to hear you like it!

Glad you like them!

Agreed!

It's so important to support our LHS!

Thanks! 👍 Have a great weekend!

😂

Wow! That sounds like an amazing place!

My pleasure! Got to support our LHS!

Wow, thanks!

Agreed!

Thanks for watching!

I'm sorry to hear that! That's a real shame.

@scalebuildersguild yeah its a real shame....

Same here...closest one is on Pinehurst about 45 minutes away

Not sure where your at in NC, but the HobbyTown in Mooresville is excellent.

I'm sure that they have to do what they have to to stay afloat, which is why we should try to support them as much as we can!

Your guess is as good as mine!

It does have an integrated fan, but the rest of the motor is sealed. Thanks for watching!

@@scalebuildersguild ok cool, thanks!

It’s 2S.

Thanks man!

Thank you!

Best truggy traxxas is the sledge -

I am very lucky to have three great shops all within about an hour of where I live. It's such an odd thing to run across a place that actively doesn't want your business, but it definitely happens. Don't people like money anymore?!

Wrong. Get the fastest you can afford and have the time of your life

Get a motor case and put in a 4074. 6S .

​@@fartdonkey8290while I kind of agree, a lot of people get put off when their enthusiasm and lack of experience keeps breaking parts. I've had a couple buddies get into rc, only to get fed up when they realize how much of the hobby is wrenching

We really need to support them otherwise they'll cease to exist!

Thats dope💪🏻

Totally agree! They're the best!

No, they are just nylon. They may even use the same manufacturer as REMO (HSP) because they already offer their cars with full nylon suspension and the parts are identical.

I didn't. This was a theoretical case for finding parts. I picked them at random from the exploded view.

@@scalebuildersguildI realize that. I guess I was commenting on your choice of part. Lol. New clipless body is the same as it was on the last 4x4 vxl. I wonder if it’s easier to mount?

Thanks! Song here: www.musicbed.com/songs/nowhere-to-hide-instrumental/71601

Sorry, not sure!

Definitely not!

Not sure I understand what you mean! Can you be a bit more specific?

@@scalebuildersguild from my understanding there is 3 Programmable Drive Profiles Sport Mode - Forward / Brake / Reverse Race Mode - Forward / Brake Training Mode - 50% Forward / Brake / 50% Reverse

@@TRD_Cueto sounds like you answered your own question!

@@scalebuildersguild possibly..... if true, Do you know how switch between profiles?

@@TRD_Cueto usually it’s a press of the button on the ESC. The number of flashes denotes what mode you’re in.

Maybe my guy was wrong, not sure either!

Xo-1 driveshafts are the same length as slash ones and have the 6mm axles 👍

Well after doing some digging to solve my curiosity here’s what I found: while yes the XO-1 drive shafts have a 6mm axle, they are not listed as optional (they may still work). It looks like they are going to do a new stub axle shaft and make a different variant for the 9051/ 9052 steel driveshafts (spring clip retained), my apologies for doubting and have a great day.

Agreed. Thanks for watching!

😂

You should probably watch the video. I go through how they've updated it, and in fact, talk about why it's "new".

So, it's not really local!

I didn’t find it cogging that much, it’s a pretty smooth system. That said, I wouldn’t consider any of these for low speed.

@@scalebuildersguild Thank you for the reply. Cant wait to see some running videos of the stampede 4x4, I only ask about the clogging, as I use to have a stampede 2wd many years ago on 27meg, and use to be able to drive it slowly around my small garden. Wondering if I should get a 12t 4x4 or this newer 2s brushless version ( unfortunately I am from the UK so the newer one will no doubt be alot more than in the U.S or Canada )

Very true! Thanks for watching!

The ESC is the limiting factor here. Thanks for watching!

There’s no doubt there’s great support for other top brands!

😬

@@scalebuildersguildhere’s a good one. They do carry Xray so I called them to order a part for my mini truggy. The lady told me to give them a few days to get it. She didn’t want my number and told me to just call back. After a week I called back and they had no idea what I was talking about. The original lady told me their supplier didn’t have the part. I ordered the part off Amazon and the day it was supposed to be in Florida it was some how in Guam. That was a week ago and I still do not have a running mini truggy😂.

Very cool!

That's a long drive!

That's what my wife says about me 😂

@@scalebuildersguild 🤦🏻‍♂️😂🤣👍👍

Sorry? No batteries are included. Use a 2S Lipo if you like!

@@scalebuildersguild I didn’t realize you don’t get a battery.

It's definitely important to support out local hobby shops! Thanks for watching!

I'm sorry that you've had bad experiences with your local hobby shop. I'm fortunate to have 2 within an hour from me that are fantastic!

There's also been the Slash, XRT, Hoss, Maxx, TRX4, Sledge, the list goes on! This hobby can be many things, to many people, and I like to play with all forms of RC!

Because not everyone is experienced in RC. Sometimes it's good to start here if you're new. And honestly, this thing on 2S is a handful.

It's in the cheap ones instead of XL5. Starter system.

Bought this last week and love it! The 2s 5800 battery lasts about 35-45mins so I'd imagine thr 7600 would last close to an hour. Plus this truck is all HD parts so you can let kids and your buddies drive it carefree. $330 is a smoking deal. 💪😎

Sellout for buying a Monster Truck? Huh? I certainly don't like RC Monster Trucks, let alone real ones, but if Kevin wants to spend his money that way, that's his prerogative! He certainly creates a lot of engaging content, good for him! Looks like you've got some cool places to play with your RC's, enjoy!

​@@scalebuildersguild The reference was, you two ( mostly Josh) were implying where he got the money for it. (Cheap overseas knock offs and low brow smash for views style) It's all good, my disdain is w/ the brand not you or your channel. I actually like your stuff, been watching for years and years from my personal channel and will continue to. I enjoy the humor but more importantly , the wit! I do have to say I align more w/ Josh's personality more. Thank you for giving my humble channel a view, and I apologize for the mouthpiece remark it was off color. Sorry dude :/ I could feel the monumental restraint in the reply 😣 Creep it real 🖖

All good dude! We're all out here trying to enjoy this hobby to the fullest! I like to present as many options for people that may want to try things outside of scale, and bashing is still something I'm learning about! Loved all that Fireteam content you've got, it's a tank! The biggest point I was trying to make in this video is to support your local shop! Do you have any close to you in Alaska?

​@@scalebuildersguild LOVE THE FIRETEAM!! It's deff a tank and well engineered I might say! Yes, we only have one real shop in the whole state lol Anchorage House of Hobbies. They move lots of merchandise, but they are constantly going through workers and nobody knows anything. I was loyal to them for years and spent thousands there. I would hang out for hours BS'n and talking RC with anyone who would listen. I used to have a small business so I'm all about the little guy. But they went downhill big time once The Mexican Beer Flu hit. Poor service, sometimes no service. Wrong parts sold unless you come in w/ the exact part number. Guys having the connectors fall off after they put them on new batts. Never having the common stuff in stock, but saying you can order it for me. What good is that? Now I have to wait 2-3 weeks because its coming in w/ you next bulk order? I could of ordered it cheaper, and had it in 4-5 days. I have done PLENTY for that small business (actually a big volume mover for HH and Traxass) Most of my business is from Tower Hobby or Jenny's RC these days. I'm actually doing prototype testing of some new to market merchandise not just a copy paste like every other company in our little realm. I'm working on the patent's first as we both know a certain brand loves to take over idea's and file like they created it (cantilever shock system) etc Just protecting my intelectual property. Send Cut Send and my CR-Scan Ferret are my BFF's (Thanks Josh lol) PS you're not taking that hat to Ireland now, are you 😆

Go to 1.25 speed bruh.

Everyone's a critic! 😂

It's a Rustler.
