[wegenerjohn]

@bmg321wtf Thank you!

[tenactitans]

PLEASE RESPOND- I'm getting a Rustler VXL tomorrow and I was just wondering if you can give me exact items and online locations to get the most SPEED (engine/ other parts that would help) and the most run time (I guess that would be battery not engine). Thanks it would be REALLY appreciated! 

[wegenerjohn]

@tenactitans 23 tooth pinion..3s lipo start with this setup and you won t be able to go full throtle! Def need a wheelie bar and at least a 5000mah lipo for good run time! the velineon is great in the rustler vxl..just keep that in there cause you can run the wet or dry!

[hockeydude5122]

@tenactitans you want your rustler to be fast? look at mine... lol it goes over a hundo

[goldfisharegood100]

nice video man keep making thim and what kind of paddles are those

[wegenerjohn]

@goldfisharegood100 Proline...

[silistylefly]

[stoccop]

Maybe I'll try this when my car has enough mileage. Now it is too new to be submerged. It is enough expensive to buy new driving axels. Yes I am a rough driver.

[wegenerjohn]

@MrGrapebook Hey thx man!

[Kawasakikid270]

Thats insane!! Might be a stupid question but wat does the s mean when u say 3s lipo?

[martinrc1996]

@Kawasakikid270 3s = 11.1v that means that the (s) stands for cels in the battery. how many batteries that is in a battery if you know what i mean.

[INVISIBLE315]

Cool))

[grltrin2lv4d1]

thats sick my brother has a slash that goes 60mph.

[wegenerjohn]

@grltrin2lv4d1 Sweet now have him cross a pond lol

[wegenerjohn]

@glo160 5200mah 3 s lipo

[glo160]

@wegenerjohn i have a venom 3s 5000mah 35c

[slash4x4lipo]

@glo160 i don'T like venom

[cataractist]

Next, I think you should run a boat onto land, then back to water! ha!

Great video!

[wegenerjohn]

@cataractist This summer we plan to race a boat! lol

[ruyguy77]

[wegenerjohn]

[Motocrossteen10]

THATS AMAZING !! do you have a lipo cuz im getting a rutsler vxl very soon and i was wondering what kind of upgrades should i get

[lochlandb]

@Motocrossteen10 deffinatly lipo they sell a good 2s 20c 5000mah lipo for $20 US and the charging equipment if there as well

[wegenerjohn]

@lochlandb I use a 3s lipo 2s won t giter done!

[lochlandb]

@wegenerjohn ill stick with my 2s god for just bashing n racing but thx (=

[wegenerjohn]

@Motocrossteen10 You have to use a 3 s lipo i tried with less and failed...no upgrades just a wheely bar and good sand paddles!!! Gear it 23 86 and ur golden!

[PrimativeJoe]

That was impressive but what if it stops in the middle of the lake.

[wegenerjohn]

@PrimativeJoe I put two balloons under the body..so when it stops it usually flips over and you can us reverse to paddle back to shore..there is another video of that with the tire falling off ..i learned that you must locktite the nuts well before water runs lol

[PrimativeJoe]

@wegenerjohn That makes sense , i thought you just hoped for the best.

[wegenerjohn]

@PrimativeJoe  lol i did till i had to go swimming just after the snow melted ..that sucked! I wish i had that on video!

[asdijfa]

for anyone willing to comment me back

hey guys im doing resurch on the 1/16 mini revo and i came acrossed something i need a second oppinion

k do you guys think i should get a 1. 3S 11.1v 1800mah liop batery (lithium polymer) X1 to make it skimm acrossed water like the video above "or"

2. should i get a 2x 3S 9.9 1050mah LiFe baterys ( lithium ion) these last bout 4x longer then liops and arnt as delecat as lipos are so they can take a beating like nimh's can. whats ur choices?

[urmumzie]

@jjt963 the second pinion comes with the truck and your going to have to waterproof your batteries unless u buy maxxamps lifes but go with life batteries

[wegenerjohn]

@urmumzie very good advice!
