  • what do you suggest to the Slash go faster without bursheless

  • The gearing used is for speed runs, and the torque is pretty low compared to brushless

  • I see you only let us see it going down hill.Bout to post mines

  • It goes 1-2 mph faster downhill, so that explains it.

  • wow, thats unbelievably fast for stock, be careful tho cos the motors burn up

  • You would think so, but I've ran at least 100 cycles with the 8 cell on the Titan and it's still going strong, had to toss it out for a Velineon before it even gave out.

see all

  • @CANTUSEACAMERA idk u may be right. i may be cluless

  • @xXShadowRejectsXx the xl-5 can handle it butn when you look up specs for the titan it has a voltage limit of 8.4v. but I run an 8 cell anyway, motors are cheap and not one has burned up on me yet.

  • @tucunare65456 go brushless

  • @xXShadowRejectsXx a 2 cell lipo is true because its only 7.4 volts but traxxas doesnt recomend running 8 cells in the xlf

  • @cattrucking are you sure?! my XL5 manual book said the newer xl5 rustlers are limited to 8 cells NIMH and 2s LIPo

  • u know its only made for 7 cell rite

  • @xXShadowRejectsXx xl5 is limited to 7 cell nimh/nicad

  • ABOUT 40?? i wouldnt go that far! my vxl stock did that! haha but hey its fast! nice video!! and yea the rustler vxl and xl5 have same speed variations. i clocked mine at 40.01 mph VXL and stock it went that fast. but now my top is about 50+ with a 2s, i can go 3s thho, but the xl5s are slower due to 12 turn and not 10 turn velineon motor and the vxl esc is limited to 3s, not the xl5's 2s. but nice video! FAST!!

  • Sounds like old school Opeth. If not, the band is definitely striving to copy Opeth's sound.

  • do you must buy the accu different
