How to Go Faster | Traxxas Slash 

Owning any traxxas vehicle is habit-forming.

@@Sammy10100 yes

Good

It’s overpriced

@@teun3526 no its not, of u think so just get some off of ebay

I am set on 28/83 gearing with my 4000 KV Hobbywing and SC8 Speedcontroller 2wd slash with Extended Rustler chassis

2075 is plastic though?

Probably like 45 mph compared to 60 mph with the 25 tooth gearing

Wtf seriously??? How

Whaaaaa?!

Kmh or mph?

Where what website?

Not necessarily. Upgrading from a NiMH battery to a LiPo battery can give you a boost in power. Also, having a good set of tires optimized for where you drive will allow you to put more of your power to the ground effectively. In addition, changing the gearing can also give you more speed (just make sure to watch your motor temps).

No you need the brushless version or upgrade

Take the stupid sound effects off... So dumb

The. High speed gearing that came with the car

Mine didn’t come with any

That's weird

You should order the high speed from Tra xxas for the. 4x4 vxl

@@adanlopez5155 any certain specs

Make sure that your ESC is properly calibrated and that it's not in training mode (which limits throttle). Also check your driveline for any bearings that may be worn or seized. If that's good, change your gearing. The stock 16/90 gearing won't be enough for the advertised 65, even on 3s. Lastly, be sure to use a LiPo with a high C rating. That will ensure that the battery is able to handle the current that the motor is pulling.

If you want to get more power out of your battery, I would suggest going to a 2s LiPo battery. Even though 2s LiPo's have a lower nominal voltage, they can produce significantly more current than most NiMH batteries. Also, if you look around, you can find decent 2s LiPo batteries that cost even less than NiMH's.

If you mean control as in the speed controller, then yes you do have to swap it. If you mean control as in the transmitter, then no, you can keep using what you have.

You may have to, some motor shafts are 5mm in diameter instead of a stock 3 mm

Not on the vxl 3s

Yes same car

The best I got is just make sure the motor mount screws are tight. Since these go into a metal motor can, you can be a little harder in tightening them versus plastic threads everywhere else.

@@TKommando i used a impact gun

I think you stripped them that's why

You can run either of those 3s batteries in a Rustler VXL no problem. The motor system only takes whatever current it needs, and the C-rating of the battery indicates the battery's capability at delivering that current. Other than being harder on your wallet, running a higher C-rating is generally not a problem. My only concern though would be that those batteries may not fit in a 2WD Rustler. Regarding run time, that's going to vary based upon your vehicle's setup, how you drive, and the conditions where you drive. But for reference, my 2WD Rustler has a Castle Sidewinder SCT with a 3800kV motor geared at 16/90 and 2.2 inch Proline Trencher stadium truck tires. Using a 2s 5000mAh 50C LiPo, I usually get around 30 minutes of runtime driving on a mix of loose dirt and gravel.

RC_ Shenanigans $300 and 50mph

Gamer Jessie thanks!

I think they already do

They have a slash oba not a raptor oba

No. The gearing shown here is only for speed runs on flat surfaces...The video states this somewhere towards the beginning. For bashing use the original 13t set up for overall health of the components.

I think yes but then its crazy fast

I think the 1/16th scale cars have their speed controllers mounted differently.

Someone should make a video for 1 16, make sure you buy a 1 16 speed control so it works right with your car

No

Actually kinda because you can cram it on but the vxl 3m is

Yes.

Yes

Yeah, it's the same truck aside from the body

Joranthony Crespo no

Doesn't loss control when it goes like 50 mph or 60?

@@joranthonycrespo2504 depends on driver

Yes. They're showing a 2wd slash in the video.

No!

You need the 3m not 3s system

No

Drew Metzger no

Why would you want to?

@@AverageRCBasher spec racing

DJ AidonYG oh

Issac 17 what do you use, I’ve had that problem of heating if it’s warm out on 3s. I Can’t find a fan to cool it. I usually just run them both, let one cool down. I have two both 4x4. A monster slash and a regular ultimate version.

No, there's a big difference between a brushed escape and a brushless. They aren't interchangable

with the velineon system and a 3s battery you can hit ~50mph with stock gearing

😀

@@jdpaslRC you like to go fast, hey me too

@@rcincarcerated3523 brushed motor burnt out and have to replace an armature. Yikes.

lol i’m dead

It's the same idea, get brushless and a lipo

@@motodude4014 ok

my brother has a stampede

@@crispinshipp2624 love my pede it's the only one that's still brushed it'll do 24 or 25 haven't put the Speedo on it yet will tomorrow tho. It's only 2x4

@@rsracing-mb1tr my brothers is brushed and only 2wd aswell

You don't have to use the fixed gear adapters if you know how to properly set the gear mesh.

Lol....bo way

No

JBwrath yes way

@@joshspaulding8691 I own the slash 4x4 it does NOT do 75pmh out the box....

JBwrath my 2wd did

Yeah, the tires are a bit too small for that

Some people just enjoy doing that kind of thing. They also might buy it then a few months later decide they want it to go faster and upgrade it then
