so expensive. i hate it. i just need to get a new battery but thats like 100+ dollars. and a mamba max motor is really expensive. and my futaba speed control i dont know if i need a new one. i guess it works fine. dont know what it does other than the torch dial but. idk
Castle Creations Mamba Max (or the new Pro version) with 4600 motor for about $200. If you need a new radio, pick up a 2.4g from Futaba, Airtronics, Spektrum. $100-200
You also need a battery, and lipo is the way to go. A standard 7.4 volt pack will run the car 30-40mph. To go really fast, run a 11.1v or 14.8v like I did. You will need the Mamba Max Pro to do 14.8v.
yo. what u suggest i get i beleive i have the same car as u. i have a futaba thing that adapts to the futaba speed control . thats it wiith a motor thats kinda old. i need upgrades bad and id love to make mine like urs. will u help me? im new to the cars
well, the xx diffs are just as good as any other, but a 5700 and 3s would be hard on it. Just make sure the slipper is doing it's job and the keep the diff tight so it's not slipping (which will make a loud "bark")
Garmin Etrex handheld GPS.... there are plenty of models to choose from. You can find them at sporting/hunting stores and sometimes at walmart/target etc.
You can also use a car GPS navigation unit. I have a Garmin Nuvi and I used it last time instead of the handheld hiking one.
They all have settings that record max speed and are easy to reset for each run.
if thats the 4600 i wonder how fast the 7700 goes =O my lhshas a motor that goes 80mph on nimh sow itha lipo it should do 100easy, its a 10scale motor
Because the camera was not on for the first coupel runs and the battery was not at peak voltage after that. I showed the GPS before resetting it. I'm sorry for you that this would be upsetting.
Next time it will be more than 74 and I will show the whole run just for you and any other critics. It's just a toy car, why would I make it up? Wow....
Yeah... I bought a couple bigger pinions but I haven't tried another speed run yet. It should do 80 real easy... and I think the ultimate goal with a buddy like this is sniffing 90. But keeping the tires on the rims may be tough at that speed. They already come unglued at 70 :)
The VXL will have to be overgeared like crazy on 3s lipo to get anywhere close to 70mph, and then it will heat up and explode. Ok maybe not, but like most Traxxas speed claims, we will have to see when it comes out.
Nice! You can almost see the ballooning tires swaying the buggy. The 4600 on 4s lipo huh? Unloaded, that's over the stated limit! Just don't let the pinion fall off.... !!!! I've got the 5700 just need a 3s lipo...Might just beat my Novak 3.5R speeds then...
I think 70 is the bleeding edge for the VXL... but the Mamba setup has more left in the tank. I just need to gear up a little more to find the limit...

your little mazda will go well over 65 mph. i mean, a lil ford ranger can go faster than that

yes it goes faster than that every day... but it can't do faster in the same distance as the 1/10 car was running :)

I ran an Orion Vortex 3.5T with an 11.1V LiPo in one of my XXCR's and the diff held up great

Hey, I have a Losi XX too. Do you know if its diff can handle a Mamba Max 5700 with 3s ?Or I have to make a steel diff ?
