I could only go 50 mph with my converyed 1998 to vxl stampede. So I am thinking about getting a 4x4 and put a 1/8 scale motor and gearing it way up. I wonder how fast out will go before becoming unstable. My converted vxl gets a speed ocilation at 50.
OK i need QUICK answer ! ! im about to buy the traxxas vxl system for my stampede butt !!!! does the motor ever wear out like stop working like the titan 550s?
i tested the speed of my stampede vxl with a 5000mah 11.1 V lipo 30c, and i just reached 76.3kmh with 25/30 gearing...i was driving on a 1km long straight road...so...what's the problem??
I have a problem with my stampede vxl,when it gets up to 3/4's of a throttle it can't keep the front down and my hobby shop told me not to put something at the front of it because the motor will over heat to fast''i see your not having a weight at the front and keeping the front end down going full throttle! what should i do?
@emzan98sandstreamer what do you mean by "safety mode"? If you are referring to the lipo voltage cutoff, then yes, you should use it to prevent over-discharge of your lipo batteries.
@Mw2Gaming123 You should store your lipos at about 3.8V if you're not going to use them for a few days. You don't need to discharge them like old school NiCD batteries. Lipos have no memory effect.
I did the same exact thing with my stampede vxl and geared the same gearing just on a venom 6400 mah 11.1 volt 3 cell lithium polymer battery and got 65 mph out of it!!!!
Hmm. I put a Hi Energy 7 cell 4500mah pack in my rustler vxl geared 28/86, with suspention lowered all the way down, and I could only get 40. Is my GPS innacurate?
@VideoGamePlayer12 You running nickel a metal battery? if so... theres ur problem... get a nice lipo battery and...you will hit 55+.... gear it right and you hit 75+ in a rustler... Id say you have a huge problem if your going 40 in a rustler and it has a lipo battery... id almost think it was a lemon from the factory
Cool truck and, I alway look at this video before, I got a new stampede vxl for $350 in Dec 25, 2007 and then, I broke the right steering block in first day and which suck and then, I hit 65 once with 3s 6000 li po maxamps. Now, I have a Bandit vxl is the best one ever, I had and then, I hit 76 a twice with 3s 5400 venom and gear was 36/76 and it done that on Dec 24, 2008.
how fast do u think a 8.4 nimh battery will get it or a 9 volt lipo. im new to the rc world but its fun so far and every 1 i talked rc with has been realy helpful and nice i wanna start to race at a local track and not just bash. but bashing is fun. lol thanks btw way im ganna get the new waterproof vxl rustler in december. but any advice is helpful
if you are new to rc do NOT get a lipo because if you charge it too long it has a high chance of exploding and you always have to watch the temperature of your esc and motor to make sure it doesnt overheat
if your getting 7 min something is wrong. my 6400mah 11.1v gos for maybe 30-40 mins at 45-50 mph. my lipo was only $100 at a hobby show that moves around the usa
Thanks for posting that was cool How long is the run time on the Lipos? I get about 7 minutes on my 3800 NiMH batteries with my brushless motor. I dont even remember what brushless motor I have it is three years old and hasn't been used. It looks like traxxas has much cooler stuff now instead of the do it myself that I had to do for my stampede to go brushless
Unfortunately, I have 12 dead MaxAmps packs that indicate otherwise. Yes, they were all used within spec. Yes, I took perfect care of them. They were just bad packs, everyone of them.
@rcdude132 Try thunder power they're worth the price and make your truck go like 5 to 7 mph faster then it's top speed estimated by it's manufacture and last for about 3 years until they start going bad! it's a good deal toward any kind of lithium polymer battery reliability out there
@whiteknuckles717 I do Agree, TP. is a really good brand, for the money and the performance,i use the in my Planes and heli's, as well as my Trucks, cars,
it is whatterproof, if u have batterie for it, all the electonics and the INCLUDED battery are whatterproof, but if you buy a new batterie (like this case) maybe, the batterie isen't whatterproof so, becarefull when going wet
Why is common sense funny? 8.4V is more than 7.2V. NiMH cells typically drop more voltage under load, but they're still delivering more volts at the first part of the run. Lipo does outperform for the duration though. Had I tested them after 10 minutes of runtime, then the 2s lipo would've had a higher top speed.
hey i got the same truck but i sprayed motor cleaner and when i went to run it all the sudden it was not as powerful as it use too it cant even do a wheelie HELP pleaseee
They're actually incredibly similar, sharing many of the same parts, including drive train and electronics. The Stampede VXL has higher ground clearance which helps off-road. The Rustler VXL will be a littler better on-road.
Hey brother, great video... i needed to see it.. So i take it the mAH makes the battery last longer but no make the car faster? The cells make it faster right? Thanks for your help?
In general, more mAh means longer runtimes and more cells (voltage) makes it faster. More mAh (than an otherwise identical pack) also means that the pack can hold its voltage under load better, which can mean more performance as well.
Going uphill even a little bit could make a pretty substantial difference. Also, make sure your gear mesh isn't too tight and that it rolls very smoothly with no binding anywhere. If your lipo is cold, that would make a big difference also. I did mine in the warm summertime and lipos love warm (not hot or cold).
Yeah it a little cold out around 40 but is the cold bad for you lipo? So even a little hill can bring you down because i was only pushing 57mph whick i think was pretty good for climbing a hill but ok heres my other question, i am thinking about running 28/86 gearing, but will my stampede be fine with that gearing as long if i keep an eye on my motor temps.
Cold isn't bad for lipos, but it does reduce their performance. Some racers even warm their lipos right before the race. I wouldn't recommend doing that though unless you really really know what you're doing. You can run 28/86, but you need to be very mindful of the temperature of the motor, esc, and lipos. Search the Traxxas forums to see what people are running.
you can use tire warmers or a hot plate to warm them. if not, put ur oven on for about 5 minutes at max temp. turn off and insert the lipo. the temperature inside should be about 100-120f which is about the lipos max temp. dont leave it in with the oven on though.
Holy moly! That's crazy fast, mister. Makes me excited to think I'm getting the Velineon tomorrow for my Kyosho TF-5 (only 7.2v). And whenever the store get in back in stock, I'll be getting a Slash with a few 8.4v packs. I can hardly wait. :]
It depends on the capacity of the batteries, gearing, and driving style. In other words, there is no possible way for me to answer that question because I'll never know your driving style. It's different for everyone. I personally don't use 7 cells.
Just use bigger tires and/or move the bottom part of the shocks closer to the chassis on the a-arm. Adding pre-load spacers to the shocks will increase ride-height as well to an extent.
take the shock spacers out, put rusty shocks all the way around, or get the losi(?) xxxt shocks (adjustable). You can also play with the mounting areas on the arms.
Lol. Nice vid man. I got a pede vxl brushless too. I got a 7-cell 5000mah in it and the thing flys. the front wheels skip along the road on my street cuz theres no grip left. Its geared at stock. havent change it yet but worx well.
i know this has no real relevance to the video, but if anyone knows how to do the wide pede conversion please tell me how. any help would be greatly appreciated.
hey butmunch, hahaha.. anyway, im doing wide conversion with my rustler, using rear vxl rpm arms, with rear vxl camber links, and jato toe links. if the casters are the same as rustler you need to drill them out to allow for the larger rear screw/pin and you need a 4mm and 1mm spacer(fuel tubing works) to make up for the gap with using rear arm. that about sums it up for the rustler, id imagine it would be similar for yourself, and xxl shocks on all corners
The E-maxx is heavy so it takes a lot of current to get it moving. Weak batteries can't handle that for very long. Similar situation with your 'Pede with the tall gearing. It's drawing lots of amps which is dropping the voltage on your batts below the threshold. You need to drop the gearing or get better batteries that won't drop voltage under load. :-)
Thanks! I using venom 3s 5400 so I don't doubt it. I was impatient and didn't feel like waiting on an order. I tried 25/83 and it did once after running it awhile. Might be actually low this time. I'll charge and balance then try again. Live in baton rouge so I need a fresh charge in case no tv! gustav!!!!
Yep. I put those 3s 5000mAh MaxAmps lipos in a Brushless Revo and they couldn't handle it. It puffed cells on both packs. They are quite obviously over-rated cells. They're sold as 20C, but are actually closer to 12C IMO.
I asked because I have an e-maxx & it goes through batteries every 2 months seems like. I have even used it lately. I guess it's something with those dual battery esc's maybe. I have a nimh & 3s for my stampede and those batteries are doing fine. One question though... I geared my stampede 30/83 and I have been getting a false low voltage on my esc every now & then(traxxas said doesn't mean anything) but if anybody has had this happen... just wondering if it could been damaging my battery?
The lipos I used were good at first, but they didn't last very long when I used them in a bigger truck. They should have worked fine in the bigger truck but were not rated accurately. They don't hold up to their ratings very well in my experience and they cost too much for what they are. There are much better deals to be had IMO.
It's all about the batteries. In the video I used 4 different batteryies that netted 4 different speeds. Watch it again and read the text parts for the details.
what kind of brushless motor were you running to get it to 60 mph? im thinking about upgrading the stock engine on my stampede and im tryin to get an idea
Amazing what the stampede can do just being stock. My pede is running stock as well,with a Venom 7 cell 4200mah flat pack. It gets up and goes for sure. reat fun for speed and jumping.
Well a nice battery and a battery charger Id get a Rustler VXL though I got both Stampede VXL and Rustler VXL i suggest Rustler VXL And also a good $400
They must not have been using the right batteries/gearing. Many people have shown, like in this video, that the Stampede VXL will do 65+ on a good 3s lipo and proper gearing that comes in the box.
brushless moters require no maintenance, are faster and more powerfull.create less friction, run longer on a charge, run smother than brushed...ect...
nice vid man, sweet music. Mine should be here tomorrow, I can't wait. I'll be running 22/86 with 8.4v Elite 4500. Thought i'd try to get familiar with brushless before i jumped to the lipo. I've been running nitros for a while but never a legit electric.
Nice vid, man. i'v got a XL-5 and geared it with a 23/76 on a 400kv brushless motor with 100A ESC. this is a nice car.

how much time do you get on the 3s 5000mah lipo?
RCdude33 3 years ago
I use a 3s 5400 venom and run about 5 times, 10 to 15 min.

Does it last so short because its such a high voltage?
redlemon1225 3 years ago
The E-maxx is heavy so it takes a lot of current to get it moving. Weak batteries can't handle that for very long. Similar situation with your 'Pede with the tall gearing. It's drawing lots of amps which is dropping the voltage on your batts below the threshold. You need to drop the gearing or get better batteries that won't drop voltage under load. :-)

Thanks! I using venom 3s 5400 so I don't doubt it. I was impatient and didn't feel like waiting on an order. I tried 25/83 and it did once after running it awhile. Might be actually low this time. I'll charge and balance then try again. Live in baton rouge so I need a fresh charge in case no tv! gustav!!!!
tigerfan3905 3 years ago
when you say you put the lipos on a bigger truck, did you mean a twin battery esc like the brushless set ups for the e-maxx & e-revo?
tigerfan3905 3 years ago
Yep. I put those 3s 5000mAh MaxAmps lipos in a Brushless Revo and they couldn't handle it. It puffed cells on both packs. They are quite obviously over-rated cells. They're sold as 20C, but are actually closer to 12C IMO.
kulangflow 3 years ago
I asked because I have an e-maxx & it goes through batteries every 2 months seems like. I have even used it lately. I guess it's something with those dual battery esc's maybe. I have a nimh & 3s for my stampede and those batteries are doing fine. One question though... I geared my stampede 30/83 and I have been getting a false low voltage on my esc every now & then(traxxas said doesn't mean anything) but if anybody has had this happen... just wondering if it could been damaging my battery?

where did you buy the gps or what ever thing you used to get the speed
RCdude33 3 years ago
eBay ... it's called a Garmin eTrex Legend

Are those batteries you used any good?
RCdude33 3 years ago
The lipos I used were good at first, but they didn't last very long when I used them in a bigger truck. They should have worked fine in the bigger truck but were not rated accurately. They don't hold up to their ratings very well in my experience and they cost too much for what they are. There are much better deals to be had IMO.

With a 6 cell pack would my truck run good?
rcman617006 3 years ago
ok another question? how much was that lipo.were did you get it?
can u do wheelies with the second battery?
dirtox4 3 years ago
how was it going 37 bone stock?
it says 65+
dirtox4 3 years ago
It's all about the batteries. In the video I used 4 different batteryies that netted 4 different speeds. Watch it again and read the text parts for the details.

what kind of brushless motor were you running to get it to 60 mph? im thinking about upgrading the stock engine on my stampede and im tryin to get an idea
rebelleader123 3 years ago
I was using the stock VXL brushless esc and motor. It's still running strong.
kulangflow 3 years ago
Amazing what the stampede can do just being stock. My pede is running stock as well,with a Venom 7 cell 4200mah flat pack. It gets up and goes for sure. reat fun for speed and jumping.

Well a nice battery and a battery charger Id get a Rustler VXL though I got both Stampede VXL and Rustler VXL i suggest Rustler VXL And also a good $400

get the revo, it will cost u but it will last u
nitrodork09 3 years ago
should i get the revo or the jato because it will be my first nitro car.
maelynnc 3 years ago
Get the Revo and immediately convert it to brushless electric.
kulangflow 3 years ago
no, get the e-revo, then convert to brushless lol. it would be cheaper and easier
scarletboa 3 years ago
no the revo is 500 and then brushless is like a good 250 its a stupid idea
crzygutrsnobrdr 3 years ago

how did you tell how fast the truck was going? or did you have a remote that where you can put how you want it to go?

Trade you a working Nitro Ruslter 2.5 for it.

I wonder what's the difference of a motor that has 12 turn, and a motor with 20 turn?
TIckP 3 years ago
The difference is that the 12 turn will be faster, with less torque. The higher the turn of the motor, the more torque it will have with less RPM's.

i just have the regular xl1 stampede andam going to put the xl5 but now i would put brushless except i dont have a straight without cars
eligs340 3 years ago
i have tryd myself using a 9000 19.2volt on a 20c discharge of power. but i dont think you should do this as not good for the brushless motor
EvilResistance 3 years ago
yes a 8000 li-po battery at 11.1 volts
EvilResistance 3 years ago
you need a 3cell li-po battery 11.1volts 20c discharge. iv done a speed test and these models can go 82mph max.
EvilResistance 3 years ago
traxxas says stanpede vxl goes 65+MPH. RC Car action magazine did a test and it only went 57
wolftube02 3 years ago
They must not have been using the right batteries/gearing. Many people have shown, like in this video, that the Stampede VXL will do 65+ on a good 3s lipo and proper gearing that comes in the box.
kulangflow 3 years ago
hello
i just watched your video.
whats brushless mean?
im not quite for sure.
keeshgoboom 3 years ago
brushless moters require no maintenance, are faster and more powerfull.create less friction, run longer on a charge, run smother than brushed...ect...

for the speed 25t but for bashing i would use the 19t,i have 29t its crazy fast but it gets hot without a fan

where would i be able to get a fan for the esc and motor for my new rustler vxl?

what gear should u recommend for 9 cell 4200nimh ? i dont want the motor to head up too much.
munnii 4 years ago
Just run stock gearing and see how hot it gets. If it gets too hot then gear it down.
Mattbaugh 3 years ago
i have a 9 cell its fast but not as fast as 3 cell lipo,for the money i would recomend the 9 cell ($44)

nice vid man, sweet music. Mine should be here tomorrow, I can't wait. I'll be running 22/86 with 8.4v Elite 4500. Thought i'd try to get familiar with brushless before i jumped to the lipo. I've been running nitros for a while but never a legit electric.
