Must Do Traxxas Upgrade! - Stampede 4x4, Slash 4x4, Rustler 4x4 V2 BL-2S Brushless 

Just swap what you have in that other POS and into the new version of this POS lmao. Either way, you end up swapping out traxxas's shit electronics and other parts.

haha

You know the only Traxxas I’ve owned is the Gen 1 Rustler and the Mini Summit back in the day but I’ve had my share of fun playing with the X Maxx but not until the Maxx, Sledge and XRT came out did I get a bit interested in Traxxas agin. And it would have to be the V2 Maxx because of how bad the Maxx initially handled. I guess what I’m trying to say is Razor, would you be able to survive without any Traxxas rigs in your collection? 😂

@@williamperri3437 yeah, I'm not really the kind of person that feels like I need any particular brand or car. I'm good with all brands.

@@RazorRC Razor, I’m gonna have to respect your words and take your word for it but secretly believe you know Team Associated, Mugen, Tekno, Serpent, Losi and Arrma all handle better 😂 👊 I do want a XRT or Sledge though, I must admit. That Maxx is just too expensive and too much work to get it dialed in but I may make a move One day when I find one used and set up right in good condition. Ya know, come to think of it, I can’t remember if you ever reviewed the Redcat MT10e or the Team Redcat.

those are the best!

I'd love to hear how it comes out.

definitely!

either should work. I'm using 9090.

Thanks for the answer. I will be driving often on grass. Should I consider upgrading to a 12T pinion instead? If so, do I need a different gear adapter? Thanks.

I use cheap ones from Amazon. Look at the plugs and make sure you’re pushing them in the right way, some go in from the front, some the back.

Thanks for the advice. You are my go to channel for anything RC that you happen to have a video for.

I disagree. Maintenance is not a bad thing. The vents and fans keep it cooler than a sealed motor, without needing to spend $35 on a heat sink & fan. Not to mention the fact that Traxxas has released a BL-2S 2WD Slash now, which wouldn’t properly fit a heat sink & fan. That was always and issue for the VXL 2WD vehicles, they had little to no way of dissipating the motor’s heat. This motor will take more maintenance (probably opening it and cleaning it out every 10-15 runs) but the pros outweigh the cons in my personal opinion.

@falcondragonslayer Attention to details do matter. If a heatsink won't fit with a Slash out the box, then perhaps it was their best decision for these once brushed models. There does have to be some consistency. On the other hand, yeah, maintenance is good, but typically, (from what I've seen) customers with these particular lower tier models visit their LHS to have it all done for them. I just figured one more thing, like fussing with a more vulnerable brushless motor would be a pain in the hind end for hobby shops. I saw my LHS replacing a brushed motor for a customer a few days ago....I'd hate to imagine them having to fuss even more to maintain that opened up brushless one. Some people just won't maintain/fix their own. I realize it's getting business, but hobby shops can and do get swamped with too much. I figure that Traxxas anticipates selling these brushless motors to these types of customers on a continual basis, similar to the brushed. In other words...planned obsolescence.

Yeah for sure
