Rustler VXL vs. HPI Sprint 2 Flux

[Roboatic00]

How do I set up the hpi out of the box I dnt know how to bind it please help!!!!!

[rcsilk]

that would not happen to my rustler

[BekayDerKing]

was geht ihr schweine

[AlbinoSpaceWolf]

jesus tighten the slipper on that rustler that thing is screaming!

[MrRahgo]

Hi m8 I have a sprint 2 flux as well i have the stingray body can u actually programme the FLUX MOTIV BRUSHLESS ESC if so how cause i dont see any usb connections.

How can i make my flux go a bit quicker without changing the motor

[callog1]

@MrRahgo I really don't think it is programmable, because I had the same issue. Different batteries.

[MrRahgo]

@callog1 ok thanks for that im having probs with my rear belts always stripping have to cut a hole in the diff casing to let some freeness for the rocks to pass through

[callog1]

@MrRahgo That's a problem I always had. I got sick of changing belts so I sold mine!

[NINJAbigmac99]

@MrRahgo put a 2s LiPo in it

[murcone]

What size battery are you runnung in the sprint 2 and it is all stock right ?

[callog1]

@murcone All stock and I think it was 5000mah 6 cell.

[overcastgabriel]

Heh he's I bought a 5800 kv fuse engine set so witch is faster. I have fort gt gran turissmo with detchable spoiler by hpi

[roddthomassie93]

yeah i dropped a VXL in my sprint 2 69 with my 11.1v venom lipo,it takes off so fast that i was a 2 yards away gave it throttle an hit a street reflector an flew 20 feet,didnt break anything but i lost my gear again... so if ud like to build your own cars like me! Then buy a vxl an drop it in a 4wd street car with 11.1v. the car i built was lucky in many ways cause the Vxl is a big engine so do your best at making it fit right an make sure u buy a strong pinion an spur gear.

[MrJatoking]

lol the hpi is rated for 50mph and the ruslter is rated 70mph with 3slipo

[elitecamaroz28]

@MrJatoking great. it says the rustler is on 7 cell. That would be NiMh.

[TraxxasRacingTeam]

damn dude that sprint 2 flux owned that rustler vxl

[Rasmusp0ulsen]

Hey mate. Is this Hpi sprint 2 flux Porche or Corvette?

And is this out of the box or did you make any changes?

[callog1]

@Rasmusp0ulsen Mustang. And it is all box stock.

[1521joe]

callog man.

thanks for this video.

hows that hpi holding up?

thanks bro.

im asking cos i see this at my lhs taking pride of place in the shop window.

[RCFANATIC1996]

that hpi is FAST!!!

[gabster118]

I got a rustler vxl and am thinking about gettin a sprint 2 flux as an elec onroad. Sould i get this will it compete with the vxl and what other good elec onroad choices are there im not looking to spen too much

[callog1]

@gabster118 Personally I woud go for something different. The belts and gears are not made to handle the power of a brushless system. Unless they upgraded the parts I woud get something different or just go with a shaft driven on road.

[gabster118]

@callog1 Thanks, i might try a tamiya lancia delta intergrale kit on the rally chassis its a kit which is something im up for and then fit a brushless system in it

[rcdudedrivingrccars]

@callog1 of course the belts are made to handle the brushless system, that the part of the car it handels having a brushless motor with over 6000kv.

[callog1]

@rcdudedrivingrccars Yeah, I wouldn"t agree with that because after a couple of runs, everthing stripped. I replaced everything and the same thing happened. Maybe HPI upgraed since then... but there is too much power for the plastic gears and cheap belt to handle!

[Terrorbloom]

ubla dong man, dat b cool fact dude. me likey likey a lot...

[Tunknatar]

dude u have no idea wat u r talking about

[callog1]

Explain.

[Midgetkilla48]

@callog1 im new to brushless so i was wondering whether i should get a 8.4 volt nimh or a 3s lipo

[callog1]

If you want just speed... the 3s lipo. If you want control and plan to bash, I would go with the ni-mh or a 2s lipo.

[Tvvt67]

@Midgetkilla48 lipo ftw

[MrFowla34]

wow, this is like cheating, rustler is off road and racing a on-road only rc

[callog1]

Thanks! And the kv number gives you an idea of revolutions your motor will make. Times the kv by the voltage amount of the battery you're using and that will equal your motor's rpms!

[442paul]

what runtimes does the rusty get with that batt and how many milliamps is the pack?

sorry for all the questions.

:D

[callog1]

I think it was 4500mah and we get about 15min run time.

[442paul]

cool,Thanks for the reply.

[Cjayjonez]

i have the traxxas rustler 35+mph and i have a hpi sprint 2 sport and a tc3

[marketskater101]

i also have the rustler and im getting the hpi sprint 2 sport..got any advice for it

[TheWildthanghill]

Also, can you run lipo in the HPI Sprint 2 Flux?

[callog1]

Yes. It can.

[TheWildthanghill]

Does the HPI Sprint 2 Flux come with a radio, receiver, and servo?

[callog1]

Ready to run.

[uihun]

i got hpi sprit 2 the blue and white one

i want to trurn it into a rally version

can i do that ?

and what will i need to do

and replies

thnxz a lot :)

[jeramii21]

i would'nt wanna drive the sprint 2 has a rally car cause the diff. housing is open to dirt and little stones can jam your car to go.

use a shaft driven with closed diff. housing

[elbutchos]

Those baby's will fly with 3S lipos. lol

[fjge27]

was the hpi flux stock or you change the motor?

[callog1]

All stock!

[fjge27]

nice, im getting one now =D

[callog1]

You'll have fun with it!

[star11scream]

Hey, have you put a new body on it

[star11scream]

Is the HPI as fast as the rustler

[callog1]

It was faster!

[laronfox]

what kind of battery was the other guy running in his rustler? Because if you put a 3 cell lipo the rustler will hit 65MPH or better. An since the sprint flux can only take a 7.2 volt lipo its limited

[callog1]

Orion 7 cell.

[mohammad567]

did you work on the HPI? or it's just like you got it?

what batteries you use on it?

thank you

[callog1]

It's all stock. And I used Orion Super Duty 6 cells.

[mitch6497]

the vxl can take 12cells

[mitch6497]

i ran 2 six cells in series (12cells) in my rustler vxl no problems except the front end would not stay down.

[mitch6497]

im pos. i ran them both ways parallel and series, parallel for run time when i was just messing around and in series when my buddy was talking trash with his jato. if i still had the truck i would make a vid but i sold all my rc stuff to help pay for my car audio stuff.

[lolifebloom]

Vxl takes 3s lipo max while Sprint with sidewinder/5700kv take 2s combo. If you do math, a lipo ruslter will not STOMP the sprint, in fact its the opposite. 3s (11.1v) on 3500kv gives 38k rpm while 2s (7.4v) on 5700kv give 42k rpm. Rpm wise, sprint tops out the rustler by 4k, not to mention that stock FDR is lower on the sprint. So maxing out the system with right lipos would still give sprint the adv.

[lolifebloom]

@bionicrustler Wow you statement just prove you are a noob to rc. FDR mean final gear ratio, so it factors in pinion, spur, pulley, trans and diff gearing. not to mention, the stock pinion on sprint 2 flux is 23t, just proves your have no idea what you r talking about. Also, FDR is the turns your motor need to do to turn you wheels 1 rev. So lower FDR, means your motor turn less for wheel, meaning higher wheel rpm. Do some research and dont make nonsense comment, then ppl will respect ur input.

[BigAir92]

go offroad with the two cars :D

[callog1]

Good one! lol

[soccerboyss]

HPI Sprint 2 Flux rocks dude but so expensive price equal to nitro cars 400 euros

u thınks it depends the price??

thnx nıce vid.

[callog1]

Thanks! Depends on what you prefer. I like nitro, but still run electric.

[diggyandme5000]

i want the flux but it just cost so much i'm stuck with an e10

[callog1]

Check out Tower Hobbies online. Easy pay!!!

[Newport1974]

The VXL has More Torque but not as much top end as the Flux. The Sprint is also a little lighter than the Rustler. I just sold a Sprint Flux and kept my VXL Slash. The Sprint was nice but go stuck on tiny pebbles and spun out way too easy.

[callog1]

Yeah I see that! I'll be selling mine soon!

[Newport1974]

I have tried out Other brands of R/C vehicles but I prefer Traxxas all the way. I have a New E-Revo, Stampede and VXL Slash

[callog1]

I want that brushless E-revo, that's my next plan!

[Newport1974]

I almost bought the Brushless E-Revo until I got to run one. Much Too Fast for me and that is why I went with the Regular E-Revo. I changed the Spur to a 65 and run Twin Venom 7-Cell 5000's in it and it Hauls Ass just as it is. I measured a Wheelie at 82 feet. I'd like to get to 100

[callog1]

I like the speed. The faster, the better!

[traxxasnitrosport94]

flux running stock gearing and everything?

[callog1]

Just took it right from the box!

[rcstarting94]

the flux is closer to the ground making it more aeorodynamic than the rustler both cool kits

[callog1]

Flux is faster all around! They do look cool, thanks!

[themanface123]

HPI FLUX KILLS VXL I HAVE A FLUX SLASH!

[callog1]

Yeah it does!

[89srbin89]

how fast is your sprint 2?

[callog1]

Not sure. The VXL set up was clocked at 36mph, so I'm guessing the HPI is 40mph.

[initialkracing]

On-Road? Where's the ramp so you can jump it? HA! Kidding. Real fast for a 6-cell.

Is that the same Rustler your son used to race or is it a new VXL?

~Combat Chuck

[callog1]

A ramp to jump it...lol!!! It's the same Rustler, we just put a VXL system in it. Oh yeah, where do you find the Garbage Truck songs, that's funny stuff!

[pinoybakulaw]

how durable HPI sprint 2 Flux are? are they as durable as rustler VXL, i do have Rustler VXL.

[callog1]

I just bought it, so I really don't know. But I have had to tighten the motor screws. Plus it would be hard to say since one is on road and the other is made to jump off road.

[brianiris]

Are you pulling our leg, 6cell on the hpi? You sure you dont have a lipo under the hood. lol! That is fast.!!!!

Very nice sprint flux.

[callog1]

Nope, 6 cell 3300mah!!!

[adb140275]

i wanted to get a HPI E10 and make it brushless

[callog1]

Just get the Flux. My friend has one and it is the smoothest stadium truck I've ever run...nice!

[adb140275]

well an E10 w/o electrics is $100. mamba sidewinder is about $100ish on ebay. and the E10 is shaft drive

[callog1]

My fault, I was talking about the E-Firestorm Flux. But if you get an on road, get a belt drive, they're so much smoother.

[adb140275]

oh my friend has a lot of troubles melting belts off of his brushless sprint 2 (mamba max 5900)

[callog1]

Well I melted the belt and the gears.
