[maninabox32697]

So you can send a regular nimh batt through water without problems? i got a bandit vxl and need to know if its k to do that

[LegoTechPlane]

[Bananacop123]

@ReptiChannel I feel the same way

[theMJandJP]

[djtrixzz]

this is good if you want to kill your car, its not water proof call traxxas and they say water resistant lol

[79TAGio]

@djtrixzz no they say waterproof it isnt but because they say waterproof in their advertisments they garentee a replacement esc or motor...........

[ReptiChannel]

DAMN now I want nachos.

[RCCARTV100]

[moshcoffee]

@slash4x4lipo explain to me how that is fake fucktard

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

@GREENNBLACKNINJA You should ask the other 15k people that viewed it and the nearly 1/2 million that viewed the other

[GREENNBLACKNINJA]

@rwdisgreaterthanfwd cool thnx for the idea!

[GREENNBLACKNINJA]

@rwdisgreaterthanfwd my bad dog

[GREENNBLACKNINJA]

@rwdisgreaterthanfwd its pretty sick



[tancam1]

how do i make this exact model go faster without buying a brushless sytem??? plz comment back i need to know

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

@tancam1 More cells and a better motor.

[ethanissocool]

@tancam1 It would be cheaper just to buy the brushless version if you're thinking of putting in a mamba.

[79TAGio]

@tancam1 sorry to tell you this but to make these faster the only way to go is brushless and a lipo dude buying an 8 cell and another brushed motor will only give u like 10 mph faster at most

[xmoddriver16]

Guess it is possible to have mms (male menstral syndrome) Thanks for clearing that up!

[Joeprice1231]

God your moody

[brandon9491]

do you like this car?

[garagecrap]

[CocoLoco2211]

I have a slash and i take it in the puddles a lot

[wowhacker2000]

[MrGodzilla120]

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

my rustler didnt come in training mode :/

[jason1786]

haters make you waste 200 - 300 $?

[blkthunderfuck]

I love you guys you bought another model because people are stupid, i have two traxxas models and working on a third and they didnt come in training mode and they are both waterproof. the only thing i do is wd40 the bearings every now and then.

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

@blkthunderfuck Thumbs up

[AirsoftGuru1202]

at the beggining of the vid its so bright out side the pitch black

[humvee600]

with the traxxas XL-5 ESC, u have 3 driving profiles,

Sport Mode – Fwd / Brake / Rev

Race Mode – Fwd / Brake

Training Mode – 50% Fwd / Brake / 50% Rev

[Un4giving2u]

Traxxas Bandit xl5 is great for starters.

[kiki7740]

is it shargd when you get it



[TheMotorstormer]

nice vid. how strong is that thing? the front steering/suspension assembly looks quite flimsy but im probably wrong lol. also, are the batteries waterproof or do they go in a sealed box?

[krissford100]

nice vid

[mathew6593]

dont just throw it it on the floor

[ibsimons]

its fake its not in training mode its in sport mode

[ibsimons]

its fake because they come in training mode when u first get it

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

@ibsimons I have never had a traxxas come in training mode.

[snakedude1997]

@rwdisgreaterthanfwd me nether

[rroberts383]

@rwdisgreaterthanfwd my VXL came in 100% insane mode. i agree, they dont come in training mode.

[ANDO999999]

@ibsimons just to let you know once you unrap the box you cant re-rap it the same as it was whenit was brand new.

[venommustang]

@ibsimons I have a 2wd Slash and it did not come in training mode. Sport right out of the box. I have ran it through big puddles like that one with no problems. Also after driving around in a dusty construction site I cleaned it up in my sink. Blew it off with my air compressor to dry it. Still runs great. I LOVE TRAXXAS Models.

[gtmaster303]

i still don't believe you...

[pmj380]

I've completely soaked mine had a kid run it over with a bike went full speed and crashed into everything imaginable ran it into giant puddles (it's awsome cause the water keeps motor cool) thanks for helping me decide to buy this thing.

[pmj380]

Noticed that's not a hump battery can you run any 8.4v 7 cell in the bandit xl-5 also what mah. My xl-5 bandit is coming tomorrow and it's suppost to rain all weekend gonna have to do a test myself thanks for great vid.

[Tunknatar]

for all us haters????? that cheap ass xl-5

[Tunknatar]

why the fuck would u throw it on the ground like that????

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

@Tunknatar why the fuck not?

[Tunknatar]

@rwdisgreaterthanfwd shut up yo stupid ass

[beachcomber535]

SOO Faked!! You swapped out the car at 4:30 when you panned away!!! I think you should reshoot with a new car.

[sunfiremyfriend]

lol the bandit looks funny somehow traxxas and buggy just dont fit

[jaminadams]

i use window cleaner to help my antenna through., never tried pb. (peanut butter)? lol joking. i believed your slash video... first time, who wouldnt? idiots... cool vids men..

[dddouggodly]

maybe i would like it but i cant see

[MrMortjon]

should i buy the bandit xl5 or the slash. i want some speed but good jumpuing

[MrMortjon]

damn, lol you just buy an new one if they dont believe you on youtube. I belived you though but u need to be rich. AN dif u arent rich then u have a lot of money

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

@MrMortjon definately not rich.

[fairfrozen34]

if its a xl5 shouldn't u break in the motor first?

[mxf7010g8k]

my use of waterproofness : )

[daveyjobob]

my stampede would go through that puddle with out even slowing down

[BraydensGasMaxx]

i like when you throw it!!! it makes me laugh!!

[ZiooR]

don't blame him!

at the box it's says waterproof and in the webshop.

i bet 1$ that you bought the old traxxas that whasent waterproof.

and if that whas the waterprof and you ran it in the water and it got ruind then you shuld have calld traxxas.

[JJrcstuff]

@ZiooR Even if it was complete water proof... it says it all over the box but id ya see the motor theres nothing less water proof then that dude.. lol :D

[pimpdaddy117]

lol dumb ass

[jhaynet2004]

yes it's funny when it throw it.... no doubt, fresh from the hobby shop and its real out of the box...lol

[BraydensGasMaxx]

@jhaynet2004 haha true dat!!

[Snox845]

thats soooo funny when u throw the box!lol

[kalishaROX]

dude dont throw it on the ground

[pickupman204]

wow that is the exact car i bought yester day!

[traxxas0123456789]

ok what car is better this or a slash 1/10

[nateboy000]

slash by far. i have an old rustler and it still runs great from 2003 i believe wish it was waterproof lol

[traxxas0123456789]

wait it didnt have a battery from the box

[marvo75]

Last train to awsome town WTF? GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[dvonlangen]

i actually had 6 different types of nachos hahahhaha

[TRXbandit11]

nope its a xl 5

[emusicman13]

is it a brushless

[TRXbandit11]

hey nice vid man i just got a bandit they are the bomb

[msufan8854]

how does this compare to the slash ?

[09rhys09]

what you want is the 4x4 Slash they go like 70mph out the box with a big lipo 11.1 + :) mines coming on monday :)

[rctoys123]

battery isint waterproof though right?

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

sure it is.....

[TraxxasBrothers]

@rctoys123 depends,

[gsbeinars]

what where u putting the pb on

[Astronout07]

This is a BIG difference between the pool!

[DMCRokka]

too damn dark! do it in daytime, so everyone can see the paint! lol

[MsHbX]

traxxas bandit is waterproof too ?

[USApunk07]

uh u said xl 5 but its brushless because the body is a brushless and the motor is blue

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

um....no its an XL5 with the brushed motor. You can probably read it on the box...

[ultimatedarkknight]

the xl-5 can be yello (non water proof) or blue (water proof). and all traxxas cars have atleast 4 diff bodies. also check if the motor is blue anodized. if it sais Titan 12t it's brushed

[Astronout07]

@USApunk07 its the newer version

[BigGreenBoyStudios]

@USApunk07 the brushless motor has 3 wires goin to the ESC and tht 1 only has 2

[stormchaser34869]

man, you guys should appreciate the RC cars for what they are and treasure them to have fun. don't do it like a business, leave that up to Traxxas. My Rustler VXL has been going perfect for about 2 years, and my waterproof rustler for about 1 year.

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

ummm, what business? and who said we dont enjoy them?

[traxxasrc17]

Probably the slash. More race classes than a bandit or rustler

[mcbacker]

So damn DARK!

[MrFowla34]

whats better bandit, rusty, or a slash?

[traxxasrc17]

Wish I had a few of those! Lol. Just a tip for u guys. Don't buy 1 of the losi micro desert trucks. Had 1 for about a month before the inner gearing went bad, esc and servo fried, and the rear axle fell apart. Waste of $90

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

I have a MINI Desert truck. Been brushless for over a year now. No problems.

[traxxasrc17]

Good vid rwd! What all Rc trucks do u have?I've got a traxxas spirit, stampede xl5 waterproof, and the 1/10 slash. Got the spirit brand new at a hobby shop. Shrinkwrapped, too!

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

-A few xl5 rustlers,

-one xl5 1/10th slash

-one slash with 3cell lipo, mamba max and a novak 4.5hv

-A Brushless 3cell lipo vendetta TC

-Novus cp

-xl5 stampede

-3.3 revo

-Tamiya M03 Mini Cooper AWD carbon chassis conversion

-XL5 bandit that is now brushless

-Venom Motorcycle, Also brushless with a novak mongoose system

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

Oh forgot about the two Axial Crawlers. One is the comp crawler and the other is a scaler of a jeep wranger

[nishbrown]

Enjoyed the 6 min. assembly. Too early for nachos.

[Rxdrifting]

its waterproof but not the receiver box, tape it over with electric tape then liquid tape then its fully waterproof but dont go full throttle with vxl

[Suidakkra]

They are being rough to prove a point. The point being that TRAXXAS is the best RC out of the box!! But people are so stupid they cant even agree from two videos!!!! Great vids by the way rw

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

Great comment, and THANKS!

[watsdissniffinere]

Yeah i get there point... i love rc's

but arent these guys a little over the top?

money to just throw at rc cars whenver they want... theyre like over sized children.

ohh btw i know you cant/shouldnt (come to think of it any rc :P) do this with a nitro but i still take nitro over electric in every feild except crawling.

[ant97man]

now are they truly water proof? if the are please tell me, i just thought i read in the manual of my rustler vxl that is is not completely water proof- is that true? Like i understand u can run it through puddles and stuff but what about a pool?

[Rxdrifting]

its fully just do not do full throttle fully underwater with vxl it will make it like brushed and ruin the brushless just follow my comment before.

[ant97man]

OK THANKS ALOT! I will make sure i dont do that!

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

WTF? make it like brushed and ruin the brushed, What brushess? Hello BRUSHLESS

[bakabaka7089]

they troughing it around cause there mad this is there second time doing this kind of vid

[56fletcher]

dont brake it at the very first couple of seconds lolz is that a vxl brushless?

[442paul]

look at title ...

[davidljcollins]

how much is the xl-5 slash in australia?

[s1072482]

look at ultimate action toys it is like $250 AUD it is ultimatetoys(dot)com(dot)au

[GBpimp23432]

you guys like throwing things around as if you cant be bothered lol

[lizardmannnn]

you should buy a 4wd car like the traxxas E-revo that car is a beast

[thatpeskysurfer]

I has the VXL

its smexy

[themann626]

but i has no moneiz. =(

[RcUniverseGuy]

the battery and connectors deffinatly arent waterproof

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

why? over a year on my slash and same connecter and battery

[MoRRisoNRisiN]

yea i didnt say it wouldnt get the job done it just isnt water proof water resistent maybe

[rwdisgreaterthanfwd]

what isnt water proof about it? if the water does not damage it then what is the problem?

[FKAguy]

[alec246]
