Vendetta ST - Brushless Performance (Short)

[brushless55]

Looks like a great balance of power!

[98Ps3lover]

dude that hauls ass!

[rwl944]

What wheels/tires combo are you using??

[tuvix72]

@rwl944 Check description for specs

[aznskrachmaztah]

can the vendetta st handle brushless power in stock form?

[tuvix72]

@aznskrachmaztah Somewhat... mine took it for a little while, then the plastic drive shafts broke. If you're very careful, stay on pavement and stick to 2s batteries you may be able to get away with it for some time. She's fast even in stock form though!

OP TU 6500KV

[wheelyking350]

@aznskrachmaztah noo

[MrTechman98]

yeah what gear spur do you use?

You also need a wheelie bar

[tuvix72]

@MrTechman98 Gearing: 13/45

[morbidlalo]

thats a fast vandetta nice ****,do you know wher can i get an aluminum spur gear for mines ?what spur gear do you use ?

[joe7258]

will that 1/10 sidewinder fit into the vendetta buggy.

[tuvix72]

@joe7258 Had to turn the receiver around to make room... good fit.

[joe7258]

do you think it would be better to use the 1/10 rather than the 1/18 sidewinder?

[tuvix72]

Yes, nearly the same size and cost, more amps and more flexible if you want to use it on a larger car in the future. In this case, the motor was a little bigger than the stadard 1/18 motor so no brainer to go with 1/10.

thanks very very much

then if is 48pich is maybe like traxxas pinions ,which are also 48 pich

ok , i m going to look for this robinson pinion

thanks again for your video!!!

[cristianoid]

one question please..

the diameter saft motor original is 2.3mm

and this ammo motor I,ve seen that uses

3.2mm saft diamenter...

then , what?pinion did you put?

thanks!!!

[tuvix72]

Robinson Racing 48P (.6 module). I also had to cut the motor shaft down a little...

[JigsawCrisis]

I looking to do the exact same thing to my own vendetta (the original). That motor shaft is hardened metal. How did you manage to make the shaft smaller? I was also thinking..... if the pinion was heated and press fitted to the shaft. Might that work? It seems like the pinion is only slightly smaller that the shaft of the motor. I'm going to use the 28-35-5100Kv ammo.... maybe ill get a bit extra kick :D.

[killa12222]

whats the gearing on that ammo motor?

[tuvix72]

13/45 at the time of this video...

[dhunks17]

Nice Car, Cool Video & Music. What's the title?

[cooooolah]

How fast is it.

Mine is clocked at 119kmh

[charliehawtin]

i love ur dance move at 0:19 - 0:20 lol

[tuvix72]

Wasn't so lucky shortly after... look at the crash in the full length video :-)

[pureownz99]

holy shit thats fast

[boredm0nkey]

IF i buy the battery you have, how do i change it into a deans connection? do i cut the plug-wires off and attach a deans?

[boredm0nkey]

that doesnt look like the ammo motor lol, looks like the Duratrax heat sinker motor.

[tuvix72]

It's an ammo with a DTX heat sink on it...

[boredm0nkey]

thaaankkksss you da man!!!

[boredm0nkey]

is this type of battery compatable with the vendetta?

LiPo 11.1V 2100mAh

the end of the wire looks like it can go into the vendetta battery slot

[boredm0nkey]

oh yeah is it ok to cut the end of your antenna wire that you dont need?

[tuvix72]

No, it will reduce range.

[boredm0nkey]

awesome man, i just got a vendetta ST and i have a question,

"Does it ever malfunction? Like you trigger reverse and you leave the controller alone, but it still reverses.?"

It does that to me all the time.

[tuvix72]

Sounds like you need to adjust the throttle trim on the remote...

[acalthu]

Finally someone's used a bit of common sense in selecting a motor for their 18th! I'm deciding whether to get this or an MLST2 for xmas.

[tuvix72]

I have both as you can see from the video. The MLST2 is better on the taller grass as it has more clearence, however the diff between front and read diffs is best locked with epoxy as it makes it loose a lot of grip on take off. My MLST2 has a Mamba in it, it's a better all-round basher and requires little upgrades to deal with the brushless engine, but the heavily upgraded Vendetta is a far better racer!

[nlsolja26]

awesome video! what tires are you using? That battery seems awesome too.

[tuvix72]

HPI Rally Tires. See the link in description for more details. Battery is very capable!

[acalthu]

Get some Losi Street Meat tires, I think you can find them mounted on 18th scale wheels too, for their Mini series cars.

[FURIAN1]

Great video! make some more

[NicholasKlein72]

Great Video!

Do you plan on getting some footage of it on your track. I'm going to get an Ammo when I get my new Vendetta ST. I like the wheelies that made it do a little air.

[tuvix72]

I will at some point. It flips easily on the grass track, need to try tires with less grip...
