Kevin. It is very easy to use a small flat screwdriver to push the contact pins out of the Traxxas connector. That way you wont have to cut the wires. Then you can quickly unsolder the tabs which leaves you with pre-tinned wires ready to solder to your new connector. That way your wires are still the original length, and if you wanted to, you could easily put the original Traxxas connector back on, and warranty not void.
@@rotten2209 steering angle from lock to lock : from full left to full right is the total steering angle,and not far from 180 ° Drifting is full lock from one side to an other most of the time,not from straight wheels to full right or left.
@@acherontiaatropos1 You need to consider the ackermann angle,and for that,you need to look at the full lock to lock steering angle. take a look on google if you don't know what it is.
Definitely the MST is a better all round Drift Car. The Traxxas chassis is just their 4-Tec made with the centre drive shaft removed. Battery weight all on the left is not good as the chassis is unbalanced which will make it drift differently each way. They are aimed at the basic entry level carpark drifter with only 65 degrees max angle as apposed to 85-90 degrees fro the MST and other dedicated drift chassis. Great fun video as always Kev. Made us all Smile Thank you. 😁
Fr though! The 4-Tec is a joke to all the real rwd chassis definitely more to appeal for the kids and ones who don’t know much about drifting yet and just want the traxxas name…🥲
I like the winter rc rigs going through the woods. This one rc channel dude lives where there's tons of snow I forget the channel. RC spark or something
The E brake on my own makes the car turn quicker but I also like to use the standard break. I've been using mine with the straight out the box features and find it to be quite enjoyable and I just suffered a Stroke. Traxxas advises folks dont mess with those other features until they become better at it so Im going to wait a bit before i start missing with those fancy features considering I'v only been drifting for a couple of weeks now, cheers Kevin and crew thans for all of your dedication to the sport of RC.
The drift scene is the best group of people I've ever meant in RC. I've tried indoor racing and drag racing. Both had major issues with jaded people and over all bad vibes. I've meant most of my best friends through RC drift. The community around drift is just better, more focus on fun than competition.
@@DJ.1001 +1 for drifting being the best side of rc and has the best community hands down! No two lines are ever the same and definitely is the only type of rc I’ll never get bored of or have Issues with the community. Can’t say the same with a lot of the other types of groups tbh😂🤷🏼♂️
Out of the box tires are for concrete hard street surfaces. The ones in the bag are for carpet. One dot hard 2 dot softs. Also out of the box it’s on race mode. Hold esc to do one flash to get brake. However e brake will then be a reverse button when held to long.
Kevin real deans are one of the best for high current and less power loss there are to many knockoffs that give it a bad name but the Real deans are good
The gopro videos had a lot of flicker. They have an anti-flicker feature, and if that is set to 60hz it won’t work since the Isle of Man uses 50hz power. So it needs to be switched to 50hz. Hope this helps!
I believe people think just because it's not "competition ready" means it's bad. I think this new Traxxas drift car is more of a casual drift car. It appears to do very very well, just not necessarily what I've seen from competition drifting. I don't have a problem with that!
4 tech platform is awesome in my belief. From my experience. I absolutely love mine. Favorite go to street car for fun. Not saying the Arma isn't awesome.
Kev on the xl5 esc there 3 modes ,no1 race mode 1 forward break no reverse, mode 2 forward break and reverse , mode 3 is 50 % power baby mode for newbs , the is a xl5 3s esc that would really Wake it up it plug & play to iv done it on my traxxas stampede brushed 12t motor it awesome on 3s .to set the modes esc off turn it on & hold it it will go solid green then it will blink red for each mode once twice and three times u want mode two f R B , when it flashes twice red let go and you’re done all lx5 esc are the same 💯👌🤙🇬🇧
Its a good looking car. But fir preformance kev. You should review a Redcat RDS. Its all carbon fiber brushless 3s capable and is only $400! Its by far the best RTR drift car ever i like it so much better then the MST RMX 2.5
My xmaxx 1st gen was the biggest crap box. It broke over and over I had to sell it. My kraton broke less. I could have had bad luck with my xmaxx. It's all up to you witch one you like better though. I would have no problem with buying a new xmaxx though. I like every rc tamiya to axial to traxxas to arrma to cheap stuff to everything rc. Let's go!!
I started rc this year my first car is second hand Maxx v2 lot people say Traxxas is trash and so but when I use it the right way I follow the manual I don't get no problem. I getting x Maxx soon what I realise about all RCS they are same but different name and look different design. It just read manual it all good
Hey Kevin I am battling my rc build I have a revo 3.3 converted it to electric but the pinion gear keeps coming loose tried a lot what tricks can be used to fix this
