Neu-Castle 2650 KV - Intended for 4S (16.8 Volt) operation. Ideal for 1/8th buggy conversions. The 2650 is 68mm long. Neu-Castle 2200 KV - Intended for up to 6S (25.2 Volt) operation. Incredible in monster trucks with up to 6S lipo packs (4s lipo is the sweet spot), and works great in 1/8 Truggies as well. The 2200 is 75mm long making it capable of handling more power than the 2650. This one is the bad boy!
hey man i really appreciate u sharing about the rustler i just bought one and want to make it go fast it is the vxl i watch all your videos i think you are cool i live here in charleston sc should i get the mamba motor are stick with the velinium
@alex52184 Try to switch your wires that go in your speed controller around,,, And for your pinion make sure the small little Grub screw is on the flat part of the motor!!
i am very new in rc world ,pla tell me the ESC model no ? and what volt it can handle this esc with 2200kv mamba ? (6s mean 3.7*6=22.2 volt ?) what about motor pinion toot ? ur spur gear is 43 t, spur gear model no plz ? thank you
@whom ever that will like to help me. i have the same setup that @draven has but i have 2 problem. 1 the motor since to have way more power on reverse than forward. I know it sounds weird but it is. 2 my m1 pinion keep coming out. i do tight it good but it just comes out. i have not run the car on the street yet, i only test it on my stand. soo if some one can help it will be great. thank you.
@scorio51 Once again, the shocks are not Titanium. They are aluminum. The shock shaft is not even titanium, it's a titanium-nitride coating. And they do not ride softer just because of the shocks. If they ride softer it's because of the springs being softer, the fluid being thinner, or the pistons inside the shocks having more holes. And they are plenty easy to bend, ESPECIALLY with RPM, because the RPM arms give so much they may be able to twist in a hard crash but your shock shafts cant.
@hockeydude5122 So let's get this straight. You try to make me look bad by telling me I'm wrong and don't know what I am talking about, but I tell you that in fact you are wrong and then I'm a smartass. Grow up dude. And I'm not gonna try this setup because I am not going to dump a grand into a car to do 100mph. I'm not insulting anyones intelligence. But if someone makes claims of having the "worlds fastest rustler" they should at least know what they have in their car.
Killer, the stock servos are pretty cheap and do not center well as you are experiencing. They work fine for general bashing, but come up short when sensitivity is key. I would suggest looking at a jr z590M servo. They are pretty fast, strong, and in my experience center very well. Another thing to check would be the slop in either your steering rack (bushings wear down and bearings often blow out) as well as looking at your pivot balls inside of your turnbuckle ends. Those also get sloppy.
Hey Ace , what's gd fam :-)) I see this hobby thing is just like everything else in life , THE OLD CRAB IN THE BASKET THING . People should remember its all about fun and sharing what you know to help other hobbiest . Some of yall itches act like someone is asking yall to share yall women or something . Then try to put people down thats trying to help others . Keep doing what you do and keep doing it well cause your exposing all the itches :-)) LOL!!! Next time you do a shout out Gd Brotha don
You claim to know a lot but you're full of crap. -It's 2200 kv not 22kv -Your shocks are NOT titanium, it has a titanium-nitride coating on the shaft -You bash aluminum in the opener but run them for tie-rods, that's just plain dumb -low profile tires aren't smaller, they just have less sidewall -how does running 6s on half throttle (basically 3s) unloaded prove the shafts hold up, which actually aren't stock (7:25), on 6s? -That much weight isn't needed if you get rid of the bumper up front
MAN YOU GUYS ARE IN FOR A HELL OF A RIDE, DRAV IS A HEAD OF THE GAME, AND I HAVE BUILT A BAD ASS, THANKS TO DRAV, I PLAY WITH HELLA OF POWER,, IM RUNING A 1Y 1800KV 25/36 WITH A 4S 5300 65C WITH A 130C BURST, I DONT PLAY, AND WHEN I GET READY TO KICK SOMBODY'S ASS, I PUT THE REAL BAD BOY ON 1Y 1520 1600KV, DRAV IS THE MAN..... DRAV THE DAM THING IS A BEAST..
@draven3907 You don't answer any questions properly just like this. You reply to me with nothing of any use. I don't have to have a 100mph Rustler to know you are wrong with a lot of what you are saying. Go ahead and try to prove that the stuff I said is wrong. PROVE, not tell me you did it so it must be awesome.
before you guys flip out anymore, you know that almost nothing on this rc is stock. if your going to build this car, dont even bother buying the original rc, just buy all the parts and put it together. get about 2000$ and order a bunch of the parts off the internet.

I have a question; how do you get "77-80mph" from your 3S setup using a 2200kv motor? Without adjusting voltage to compensate for voltage sag or other issues I get 11.1V x 2200kv = 24420 rpm. Even the most generous estimate with your setup I get 65-70mph...what am I missing?
hey man love the videos, i was wondering if you could do a video about the wire setup you use on the batteries im new to the hole electric thing and im running a bone stock rustler and looking for more power
Hey sorry to hear about the ..c.. Hope u come out stay strong we here in bama country will pray for u ..im into the rustler game got one and upgrades are never ending u got the best so far props ace im learning from the best
A few weeks ago i got the regular rustler xl-5 i was wondering if it was worth it to buy the vxl brushless swat or whatever but just wondering if it was actualy worth the $220 that it costs?
Hello I need help. I put a integy spur on with a revo slipper but the back of the slipper is rubbing on the gear box. I have even shaved the back side of the slipper. Help me.
@soldfirestar There's not a esc holder, it just holds in place with either 3m double sided tape or servo tape, u can put where ever u please!! That's the beauty of this hobby!!!
Traxxas & castle should pay you there's so many people buying them to do this 100mph+ setups & were doing it in Australia thanks to you bro THANK YOU from down under bro.
Hey Ace, great video! I have a Rustler VXL with the stock Velenion system, Jaco foam tires front and rear, and a few RPM upgrades. I have a problem though; the steering is VERY inaccurate. I also have to make constant changes to the steering trim to try to keep it straight, and even then it doesn't go quite straight and when I turn it doesn't go back to center very well. Any ideas on the problem? :(
The 2650 can handle 6s it is just not recomended. I even think the 2650 can do 8s, i have run the 2200 kv on 8s with the mmm. I know it isnt recomended but it is ok anyways.
I don't see how those plastic drive shafts hold up I've went through 22 sets of those plastic drive shafts just on 3s they break every time I give it the gas or I give it to break I had to go with the steel cvds
What's up guys, sorry i have not been there to help some of you guy with your rustler. i was diagnos with cancer and going for Treatment & Support and Nyc. I'm a fighter and i will beat this and back on my feet. so guy's don't give up on me. im going to get back to working on my new 8s rustler setup soon. if you have my number give me a call. Keep up the good work guy's
YES! Its been done obviously. THe integy Gearbox is one of the only decent parts they make, and whats okay with the RC community.. Its a big piece of alum, hard to mess up. And yes, all he is saying is true. Or else he wouldnt be successful, or be able to do this, or be copied of course.
I might be extremely experienced in RC cars of ANY kind, but thanks for the help. i am getting a Rustler, a heavy duty C-CVD kit, the same exact on-road tires and wheels you have, and mamba monster and 5700 kv motor. but now I know, I don't need such a powerful motor!
Draven3907 I'm new to this and I'm building a 1:10 ECX Circuit. My question is what are the exact websites to get these parts from? If it's on Ebay, what do I type in the search bar?
Awesome video Ace thanks. Question: How come you choose the Integy gear box? Whats your feeling on the FLM, REM, or Golden horizons aluminum gear box? Just purchased a REM box myself.
Can you take the mamba monster out of the e revo brushless and put it into the rustler with an integy gear box?? And run (2) 3s lipo????? Is that ok?!?!?
Hey Draven, I hope that all is well with you and yours. I have followed your clinics on building the altimate rustler and I will say that you are the MAN. I am hoping that you will have some input on the gyro. Finding the Esky 0704 that you use has not been easy. Do you have a source for them or a recommendation on a gyro that I can find somewhere for sale. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Ok, finally got my Mamba Monster set up and ready to run. Shout out videos to come and some stills and speed runs. Again sick set up and cool tutorial vids.
Brother, my name is Julio and I just want to say WOW! I'm just barely doing my homework on what to buy, it will be my first r/c. I'm going to invest in a Rustler VXL. Watching your videos all day today and I am intrigued by your skills. Hope to see more as you made a true fan of your videos. God bless
wassup draven I have a question.. I finnallygot my max amps 6500mah 150c 3s today. the problem im having is its cutting off at full throttle. Do I need another battery to bump it to 6s? Thx big homie

I watched this vid a bunch of times..now i can finally say i am about to purchase my first vxl rustler. Probally wont put the 2200kv in right away but i knw one of these days i will..please come back!!
Draven, I gotta say I've watched all of your Rustler videos and I am a big fan. Since seeing your vids I've started my own MMM Rustler 100mph project. I've started watching those who you've inspired, like GioStealthR1, Bulldog Matt, HockeyDude, Speedy2246, Lasvegasninjas, NeonKing, and others I've forgot to mention. I've learned so much from you and the rest of the community. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with others so that we can all benefit from this awesome and fulfilling hobby.
Dismal Dream hey bruh I’m in the making of buying my first rustler I have had serpents HPI and Traxxas truck so now they say this is the way to go the shop I’m dealing with is setting me up for straight out of the box and shop they say easy 80-100 no sweat is this possible
You are the man!! I like your set up! I'm just one month into this, I love it! I started with cheap cars like ECX CIRCUIT I did a few upgrades to it. I like when people doubt. Now I got a XTM monster truck too
