Traxxas Rustler VXL 8-cell Speed Runs LiquidFastProductions

[Qcforever2121]

what's your run time ?

[MonsterRCdudes]

Lipo's ftw :D

[dacooter]

hmm, my stampede runs faster with a 7 cell. i have the sidewinder system.

[nathan2000100]

wow i only paid $40 for a 4500 mah hi-energy 8 cell. $90? thats a waist of $

[staticxmako]

hhahahahah 2 fucking months for $80!!! hahah i had a simalare experience with a local guy. he fixed the batts that whent bad, but the problem is ALL BATTERY.COM

has the cheapest fucking batts on the planet. i only have a 6 cell from them now, about 2 months on it. and its amazing i beat the shit out of it. and geuss how much the 6 cell 4200mah cost...... $16 yes 16 fucking bucks for a 6 cell

and for a 8 cell 4600mah trx connector and all $33!!!!!!!!!!

stop wasting your money

[LiquidFastProduction]

@staticxmako

were into lipos now. so much better!

[kevkid55]

what was your gearing?

[LiquidFastProduction]

@kevkid55

i believe it is stock

[sario22152]

my lipo give me 70+ 45-75 gears

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

which do you perfer? a lipo or 8 celll? i cant decide 0.o

[LiquidFastProduction]

@xXShadowRejectsXx

lipo 100%

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

@LiquidFastProduction sweet! thanks bro!

[101quadrider]

thats slow my 8cell goes like 50mph

[LiquidFastProduction]

@101quadrider

sweet

[101quadrider]

@LiquidFastProduction yea im hopin to change my gears to 31/76 and get to 60mph lol

[Midgetkilla48]

@LiquidFastProduction i have that battery 2. already losing power tho

[LiquidFastProduction]

@Midgetkilla48

yeah its not the best

[Ezduztube]

LiPo is the way to go with VXL! The 8 cell is too heavy.

[LiquidFastProduction]

@Ezduztube

and it overheats.

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

@101quadrider ???? really?? thisis like 50 mph too

[yellowcorba1]

I got my 8 sell from all-battery.(com) and it has 5000mah and its about 35 and 7 with shipping and handling and also depends where you live.

[LiquidFastProduction]

@yellowcorba1

sweet im getting some 3s lipos for that price

[rctoys123]

song name?

[LiquidFastProduction]

@rctoys123

sweetness by jimmy eay world

[timmy686]

@LiquidFastProduction sorry ment thumbs up its a great song

[dixanator]

damn thats fast

oh and do you know if u can charge 8 cell with a 7 cell charger

[LiquidFastProduction]

@dixanator

i dont think so, youshould get the duratrax pirahna

[30GB]

lol i made a 9 cell and it takes too of my wall chargers just to get it slightly warm

[rctoys123]

what gearing?

[LiquidFastProduction]

@rctoys123

stock

[timmytime1793]

lol maxamps suck look at that battery it is in the shape of a U not even flat on the bottom

Promatch has the best packs and you can get an 8 cell for 45 bucks that will blow away that maxamps crap

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

i got a rustler for x-mas today, OMFG talk about fukin wheelies and bashin!

[LiquidFastProduction]

@xXShadowRejectsXx

you celebrate christmas early?

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

hell yah, i celebrated on monday at 7 am lol!!! we do that so if we got a gift we already have or a game, we can take it back to the store and chrismas still be like 2 days away, crap like that lol!

[TheBaseball1919]

hey everyone i have a rustler vxl if i get an intellect 9.6 v 8 cell 5000 mah battery pack can i charge it with an ez- peak charger????? plz respond

[LiquidFastProduction]

dont know, probably

[Randizle10]

yes u can i know cause i have one and i only use 8 cell bateries and it takes like 1hour and 20min to charge one but it dose a good job

[442paul]

what runtimes do u get ?:D

[LiquidFastProduction]

i had this battery along time ago, but i think it was 15-20 minutes

[zyndaket]

Dude i think you have the best rc vids on youtube i have an xl 5 and im gettin the brushless iv had mine for over a month and im on my 3rd motor the titan 12t is a joke the brushes sheered right off on my 3rd run, 2nd motor was the hpi 15t and the samething happened but it was way faster soo i got another hpi 15t and broke it in under water with my 6 cell and it works awesome now!!

[LiquidFastProduction]

sweet dude brushless rocks!

[34kevin34]

i got a 8 c 5000 mah battery for 60 bucks. and i got a nine cell 4500 mah for 65 with shipping. and the batterys are great

[LiquidFastProduction]

nice!

[thomasward00]

You can tell it's kids doing these stupid stunts, Adults who actually work would never tear up their RC's like that.

[LiquidFastProduction]

what are you talking about? how else would you have fun with your rc cars if you dont risk breaking it? its part of the hobby. and thats a stupid thing to say, i have a job. plus im in highschool, so add in the homework and im probably doing more work then you everyday.

[zyndaket]

im 24 and i beat the shit outta mine.. only way to have fun and bashing rules..

[LiquidFastProduction]

yeah man how much fun can going up and down the street be :D

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

yea i beat the hell outa mine and i got it 3 days ago, i hit a brick at full speed and it collided with my bumper, thank god i put some metal flashing over it! then i drove it down my stairs and rolled it so much!! its fun to try to wreck these, because you pretty much cant break em!

[LiquidFastProduction]

@xXShadowRejectsXx

driving down the stairs is fun :D

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

i know man ahahahah i did that after watching your stampede skillz video ahahaha its so fun lol!!!

[LiquidFastProduction]

@xXShadowRejectsXx

lol

[thomasward00]

You should go LiPo if you're spending 90 bucks on a nimh batt

[LiquidFastProduction]

but its gonna be a low end lipo thoguh, like spc.

[zyndaket]

Whats your run time with that setup on the 8 cell with the brushless?

[LiquidFastProduction]

crap its been months since i had the 8 cell, id say about 15-20 good minutes

[joe7258]

i live right across from a school, so i have a lot of room to drive my rustler.

[LiquidFastProduction]

nice dude

[fredburger130]

man i wished i lived there i want to open up my e maxx but i run out of room on my street when it almost hits top speed

[LiquidFastProduction]

yeah its a good place for rc cars

[34kevin34]

you live in a nice place to have rc cars. a lotta room. whenever i want to play i gotta go to a school or something. great vid

[LiquidFastProduction]

thanks. yeah me and clayton realize that we are lucky, trust me :D

[442paul]

when u took the battery out of the box it looked bent like a banana :|

[LiquidFastProduction]

lol

[redlemon1225]

wait so the battery fried months after u got it, and they sent u a new one? I thought the warranty is only good for a month.

[LiquidFastProduction]

yeah i got lucky. i complained to him and got a new one thank god

[redlemon1225]

my 8 cell gets freaking hot i have to use an oven mit to take it out. some cells have dided and i replaced them yet it still gets really hot alot hotter then the esc why is this happening.

[LiquidFastProduction]

dude, get rid of that battery and get a lipo. no battery should EVER get that hot. hope it doesnt explode on you.

[redlemon1225]

What makes Lipo batteries so much better?

[LiquidFastProduction]

it doesnt gradually die like a nimh batt. lipo goess 100%,, then when theres no change left in it it dies. hard to explain

[rustlerbadass]

earlier today i was running my 7 cell 4700 maxamps in my rustler vxl and it only got like 10 min runtime i took it out and it was very hot and looked on the bottom the shrinkwrap like melted and the cell looks ruined, hopefully they will give me a new one or i'm gonna be pissed

[LiquidFastProduction]

dude, the exact same thing happened to me. i begged them and they gave me aanother one, which i sold for a lipo.

[rustlerbadass]

k did u buy a maxamps lipo? and is it good or just like the nimh that went junk in awhile?

[LiquidFastProduction]

i bought the maxamps 8 cell. i didnt get a lipo from maxamps. i got a SPC lipo. there warrentny lasts 90 days.

[rustlerbadass]

is their soft packs good?

[LiquidFastProduction]

soft pack? i think that your referring to their lipos. yep they are good. pretty cheap too.

[redlemon1225]

is the spc lipo any good? how long have you had it for and is it still in good shape? Also what charger are you using for the lipo?

[LiquidFastProduction]

im using onyx 230. the batteries stay in good shape for probably 3-4 months of everyday use.

[redlemon1225]

Wait im a little confused, do u use the Onyx 230 to charge your lipo, cause it doesnt have a balancer so thats kinda dangerous isnt it?

[LiquidFastProduction]

i bought an astro blinky balancer to plug into the battery.

[250RRaptor]

nice hair

[LiquidFastProduction]

he likes it

[DontlookatmynameF4g]

Pen1s?

[LiquidFastProduction]

yeah matt

[guitarplayer4395]

what gearing are you using is it stock

[LiquidFastProduction]

yeah i think its stock

[RobChappers09]

for extra 10-$20 u cud hav had 9-cell. 9-cell= 60+mph

[LiquidFastProduction]

yeah i looked into that a lot, but my charger doesnt support 9 cell. it is 1-8 cell and lipo.

[RobChappers09]

thanks a lot i never thought of that im gettin a rustler or sumthin like it so ill b careful wat charger and battery i buy

[LiquidFastProduction]

no prob man

[rustlerbadass]

o kk ty

[rustlerbadass]

i couldnt find a triton 230 but i did find the onyx 230

[rustlerbadass]

kk ty but 4 spc batteries dont u have to cut out a slot in the battery compartment?

[rustlerbadass]

cool what website do u buy it from?

[rustlerbadass]

ive never heard of it but how much $ is it?

[LiquidFastProduction]

i have the onyx 230. it charges lipo and up to 8 cell. its a very nice charger with backlights and a fan in it and everything. its about 80 bucks i think.

the rusty is good in grass. it depends on what tires youre using. if your using anacondas, it will suck. alias arent bad. the best tires for the grass are talon tires. they grip really good.

[rustlerbadass]

kk ty where do u get the onyx 230?

[rustlerbadass]

what charger do u use for an 8 cell? i'm thinking aobut gettign a hyperion charger to charge almost anything i need but dont want to pay $150 so what do u use? also is the rusty good in grass?

[rustlerbadass]

yea the 5000 mah 1's pissed me off last week i bought a 7 cell 4700 and now 5000's.... i complained to maxamps to make a page about new upcoming products because it pissed me off its the same damn price!

[LiquidFastProduction]

lol did they reply? and i would be mad too!

[XShadowRejectsX]

where do yall like, like state, such a empty place!

[LiquidFastProduction]

missouri, in o'fallon. its nice over here. a lot more privacy and all that

[XShadowRejectsX]

oh very cooL! like the streets :D

[LiquidFastProduction]

yeah we are lucky :D

[LiquidFastProduction]

yeah its a lot of fun :)

[sayer308]

i think the traxxas Max Cable is crap dont buy it cus i used some cheap walmart 12gauge wire to make a adapter until i get the traxxas plug on it and the max cable is cooking wile the walmart isnt even braking a sweat

[adamclark94]

you guys should make more vids soon man ive seen yur others too much

and ive yet to find anything on the vxl that tells me if the battery im gonna get is good its a venom 5000 mah

[LiquidFastProduction]

venom doesnt really make good batteries. and yep im making more vids soon

[tans48chevy]

will a 8 cell battery work on a prophit charger cause i just got a 8 cell

[LiquidFastProduction]

sorry man, i dont have a prophit charger. i use the onyx 230

[veggiemaxx]

how fast does it go?

[LiquidFastProduction]

it probably goes somewhere in the 50s.

[veggiemaxx]

mph? or kmh?

[LiquidFastProduction]

mph. its good enough speed trust me

[fastlee93]

no thanks alot! :)

[LiquidFastProduction]

tell me when you get it! i recommend the vxl over the xl5 any day.

[fastlee93]

ya i will have to make a vid of it but it will be about a year tops. before i get it. :P

[LiquidFastProduction]

man a year is a long wait not to drive rc

[jessiejames2012]

dude iwas goin 2 get an xl-5 but i might go order a vxl today but i only have a 6 cell 3300 mah

[LiquidFastProduction]

the vxl is the way to go! Just buy the vxl now and then buy a new battery later

[jessiejames2012]

thats what im doing

[MettallicaHD]

hey is a stampede better or rustler?

[LiquidFastProduction]

i like the rustler better. it has alittle more speed.

[MettallicaHD]

arent they the same? like, same electronics? ho about the slash? isnt that better then those 2?

[tans48chevy]

yah it does i just got one and sold my slash its way faster than the slash

[tans48chevy]

probly a rustler because my friend has one and i have the rustler the rustler is way better

[LiquidFastProduction]

im pretty sure that they have the same electronics. but i wouldnt say the slash is better though. The rusty is a tough car to beat

[reesecole13]

nice vid guys

[fastlee93]

one more thing. srry your probably getting sick of me :) but is it water proof. or good for snow

[LiquidFastProduction]

the new xl5 models are waterproof. my model isnt though

i dont know if its good in the snow. questions are good, do you have anymore?

[jessiejames2012]

im gettin a waterproof 1 : )

[LiquidFastProduction]

id recommend a vxl

[jessiejames2012]

i know i know im going 2 get the brushless upgrade liek amonth later idk

dude thnx 4 ther invite ur vids kick ass!

[LiquidFastProduction]

thanks man :)

[fastlee93]

does it do good on gravel the size of half your thumb

[LiquidFastProduction]

lol yeah

[fastlee93]

thanks :)

[fastlee93]

about how long does the battery last? do you recommend the car?

[LiquidFastProduction]

on the street going back and forth maybe 15 a good 15 min, and on my dirt track it would be maybe 20

[LiquidFastProduction]

oh yeah, and i recommend the car and the battery. theyre a must have

[c1rca121]

how much did it cost?? btw im Subscribing this shit is tight

[LiquidFastProduction]

thanks! the car cost 280, and i put about 300 in upgrades

[93661902]

how fast can this monster go now with this 8 cell pack?

[LiquidFastProduction]

i never got an exact number, im guessing 45-55

[broom0908]

does it come with a battery

[LiquidFastProduction]

nope.

[LosHihhuli]

how fast would my monster go if i by 8cells pack and 13t motor? (traxxas stampede monster)

[LiquidFastProduction]

maybe 30 mph?

[trickedyfz450]

actually the 12t xl-5 setup went 35 with a 7cell in mine. and the bigger the tire the greater the top speed. more ground coverage. so i would say around 35 but your motor and esc would fry. sick vid i have a rusty too and love it.

[Jaeger65SS]

what is the songs name of this vid

[LiquidFastProduction]

sweetness- jimmy eat world

[rustlerbadass]

what gearing u got in that? and how fast u think it was going?

[LiquidFastProduction]

its an 83T spur gear, and a 13T pinion i believe

[Zibigan]

Good vid scott

[LiquidFastProduction]

thanks bud

[skillanation]

nvm the last comment. I hav a traxxas stampede and i dont no wat plug to get the traxxas trx connector or the standard one

[LiquidFastProduction]

you should get the trx connector becuase it is already installed on the car when you buy it.

[skillanation]

wered u get tghe 8 cell

[LiquidFastProduction]

maxamps, a very good brand.

[skillanation]

show the stampede with the 8 cell

[LiquidFastProduction]

yeah, i dont know why i didnt.

[skillanation]

wat kind of motor? Do u think that the Castle Mamba Micro Pro + CM2080

motor is a fast motor. Cause I got it but i want to know wat u guys think. Wich should i gety a Orion 6 Cell 5100 mah NiMh Stick Pack w/Tam Plug or a Orion 7 Cell 8.4V 4500mAh Stick Pack w/Trx Plug. I sort of want the 1st 1 more but i want to know wat you guys think about it.

[LiquidFastProduction]

i dont know much about motors sorry. but i can help you with batterys. you should get the Orion 7 Cell 8.4V 4500mAh Stick Pack w/Trx Plug. you will go faster with this one because of the extra cell. the runtime may be a LITTLE shorter, but youd go faster. id get that one.

[RCdude33]

nice video! I hat the esc because of the wires when ever i flip the truck on high speed runs, they get all mess up, but hay its a great esc! But i think they shoulld of looked at the wires

[LiquidFastProduction]

i ALWAYS put my body on when i drive. to protect all the stuff inside.

[cmjb66]

yeah so thinking of any upgrades

[timmytime1793]

gotta love the warped maxamps battery

[LiquidFastProduction]

maybe you should get a mamba max?

[ionpaint48]

scott leave the ford mustang body on, looks the best. nice vid to but gay music.......ill still give it 5 out of 5

[LiquidFastProduction]

ok thanks man. i actually like the music, you just like too much rap lol. and that is claytons mustang, not mine.

[EliteMastaMike]

Pretty fucken sweet sucka!

[LiquidFastProduction]

thanks bud

[traxxas4life]

gr8 vid

im getting a stock rustler vxl and two 9 cell batteries tomoz :)

any advice on how i could upgrade it like would u recommend changing parts to rpm

[LiquidFastProduction]

thanks bro! yep i have some advice for ya.

you will need to get some RPM parts. i bought about 70 bucks of it. RPM rocks.

you will NEED rpm caster blocks, bearing carriers, A Arms, and shock towers. i also bought a RPM front bumper. trust me, when you land a jump slightly wrong, a caster block is broke. land on your back and your shock tower is broke. i learnt this the hard way after multiple trips to the hobby shop.

[RCking93]

yeah im sure everyone nows this but to the 2nd comment down if u put a li-po battery in a stock xl-5 it would not be pretty!

[LiquidFastProduction]

i always wondered what would happen. would the speed control fry?

[RCking93]

yea maybe worse, maybe break the engine AND the esc very fast,. but wat would i no i never tried it and i dont plan on. are you familliar with nitro or have a nitro traxxas truck?

[LiquidFastProduction]

i have never had a nitro. i will get one eventually though. they look like so much fun!

[chris321zangi]

yo if ya want to get the maximum power than buy a 11,1V LiPo pack for your Rustler!

[LiquidFastProduction]

yeah i will probably do that a little later. i have to shell out so much money for it!

[b76t67]

Scott you should get a gas RC they are more fun

[LiquidFastProduction]

yeah they look awesome but i heard theyre hard to tune for the weather and other stuff like that

[ReconClone]

Nice vid Scott! I'd like to see the VXL on the course you guys were making. That'd be badass.

[LiquidFastProduction]

yes me and clayton have plans to do that after we fix it up. we need to get some dirt first
