The Titan 550 is not water proof but that's not to say it don't work in water! Most brushed motors will work submersed as the brushes still hold contact. When I had twin titans in my emaxx it worked fine under water plenty of times! The reason you killed the motors was because of all the dirt and silt in the water clogged up the brushes! Oh and monster mambas are not water proof! Nor do they work under water!
its not a submarine man i have a stampede and it could be a submarine if i wanted it to its completly waterproof execpt for the motor but if water gets in it you can still drive it but if you floor it when there water in the motor you are fucked but besides that it badd ass
everyone here is wrong, brushed motors can be ran underwater with NO issue, watch videos of the traxxas summit, it has the same exact motors and people always run them underwater, this guy was right, something was weird with his truck
They are waterproof , but mudd isn't good for these : some mudd can come in the motor and ruin tu brushs . You can run it in normal water , not in mudd , and it will run very easy .
stop destroying all ur cars and take care of them my first buggy still has all same parts from maker and its2 years old its the shockwave the crappist rc in the world!!!!
even if they did die, the torture you guys put that poor truck thru ( LOL ) its impressive the poor thing lasted that long . . . . but look on the bright side folks, the more important ( or should i say more expensive ) parts made it thru the torture with flying colors. So bravo for traxxas, they made some of the most durable stock rc's out there. Plus they actually stand by their statements, they said waterproof, the motors failed and their replacing them. LOL. Isnt it funny how it looked like
the problem i had with mine is it seems the stock titan 550 motors are pos's. im still trying to figure out a stronger alternative, a motor more for beating on than burning out. i put my truck through the same thing in this video plus some good mud and the motors are trash now. ebay has these motors for cheap. the titan 550 are a cheap motor.
you are the biggest dipshit ever, beleive it er not the esc is fan cooled and everything isnt fully submerseable water tight on those you moron, good job
no a tank of nitro lasts longer than batteries but emaxx and summit is water proof nitro you can just put more gas in and not half to wait and chagr batteries
i dont understand my e-max ses not to be driven in water plus i hit a puddle or well landed in one and water splashed up on the computer that the batterys hook to and it screwed it over. do the new e-maxxs have like water proofing or something?
what a pair of boring faggots,how about you ditch the e-maxx and grab your selves a t-maxx and find a decent track NITRO FOR THE WIN BABY YEH, ONLY TREE HUGGERS USE ELECTRIC....NOTHING LIKE THE SMELL OF BURNT NITRO FUEL IN A MORNING....pussies
so you reckon a brushless e-maxx is faster/more powerful than a 3.3 t-maxx? no mate have a word with yourself, by the time you done a lap you gotta change the batteries so furk yu.
seriously stop talking shit, how many bashers do you think would take one tank of nitro out with them, shut up you noob. If you were to take as many batteries you would need to equal my 5 litres of nitro fuel you would need about 200 fully charged batteries and at £10-£20 each that would cost you alot of money so just stop talking balls electric is no where near as good as nitro, CASE CLOSED
on 5 liters of nito fuel you get about 960 minutes of run time that would be the equivelent of about 38 batteries of run time. brushless is better. you can recharge the batteries and never have to buy more nitro. nitro is expensive and hard to maintain compared to electric. nitro is way more expensive then just charging a battery. think about it, you have to out of your mind to truely say that nitro is better. the top speed of a traxxas brushless e-maxx with out changing the gearing is 50 mph.
you only get 10-20 mins out of one battery you fool thats 38 x 15=570 (mins run time) 38 batteries at a cost of £15 each so thats 38 x 15 = £570
5 litres of nitro fuel £22 so thats £22 divided by 960 = 43.3p per 20 mins run time so you suck go home go wait 8 hours for your batteries to charge and il go burn off some fuel.
Nitro is only hard to maintain if oyu dont know what your doing, with a well tuned well maintained engine a 3.3 will last you forever, its only noobs on youtube.
Are you serious? You must be a noob. Sure you have to charge batteries, but it doesn't take more than an hour. Batteries last much longer than nitro in the long run. A pair of batteries can last years running them everyday.
I would like to see a nitro truck wheelie at 40mph. Brushless with lipos do it all the time. Have you ever seen a nitro do a standing backflip? Brushless trucks do it all the time. Does your nitro run perfect in all weather and elevation conditions? Electric does.
the top speed of a t-maxx overall is 45 mph. a properly geared e-maxx can reach speeds of over 65 mph. you can buy 2 batteries for every 5 liters of nitro you buy and you can keep reusing the batteries. face it nitro is never going to be better than brushless.
Yes, a brushless E-maxx with lipos is way faster than a revo 3.3. Have you ever seen a brushless truck with lipos? Are you a noob? Can a revo 3.3 wheelie at 30mph? NO! Brushless E-Maxx with lipos can do it easily. Go tune your truck while i wheelie past you at 40.
I did this through a creek. When it came back, steam was coming out the front. Engines and water were 1 reason, but i blew a cell in my battery. Everyone just because Traxxas sais its waterproof doesnt mean it is. Water and electricity don't mix (well like the way they are using them) But its still fun to do
it would be impossible for the mottors to overheat in water. the brushes on a motor wear down realy fast when under water and ruin the motor. runing them in water takes off the lubricant they have on and if you do that clean you motor and re oil it. you should probley avoid running in to much water for that reason. i have burned out many motors just testing things like if they will work under water and the water breakin method. But motors will run under water perfecly fine.
they died not from water, they died from overheating. the winding is burned so they do not run anymore. it is absolutely usual to put a brushed motor in water for fitting the brushes to collector. saltwater is no problem anyway if you clean everythin properly after getting wet. but its idiot to use emaxx as a submarine.
ELECTRIC Motors are NOT Waterproof!!! When the water hits them they Short out. If you think Motors are waterproof, take your cordless drill or corded drill and drop it in the water while it is on and then tell me what happens.
i took my yellow hummer with half tracks i got from radio shack and fried it in 30mins driving out in the snow,took it back got my 128$ back and bought another one for half price,can't beileve they dropd the price right after i bought the first one,I saved 64$
your problem is that the e maxx can run in the water but it is not supposed to sty in the water if it does stay long get it out and run some speed runs....this will help the motors dry up a bit....the it is your choice to go back
kind of, Its not like a nitro where you have to run a couple tanks of gas through it, you basically just need take it easy for the first couple drives and try to keep off full throtle.
ok thanks. when i first got my rustler xl-5 i just gave i full throttle every time and the thing have seen its better days to date. also jhave a revo 3.3 which is perfectly breaked in and two days ago i ordered rustler vxl with 3 cell lipo:D
thats your fault that they went out it says in the manual that u should not run the motors under water and how long did you wait before tryin them out
