what gearing is that?

[therealrock69]

Stock gearing and yes, it does go faster than 40 MPH.

mine hasnt overheated yet either, dont the vxl motors have cooling fans in em?

[therealrock69]

I really don't think so! The esc has an optional fan you can purchase, but no internal fan on the motor. The brushed version of the stampede, XL-5, comes with internal fans built into the motor.

the thing sounds like a damn jet engine, thats just awesome, mine sounds like that too, i just love the sound of vxl trucks

[therealrock69]

Yes, it does. I had a friend clock it at 49 MPH the other day. I'm sure I could break 50 if I had enough pavement.

with a 3s lipo, it take alot of space to get upto top speed on a vxl. if you pull the trigger too fast, youll just get the front tires off the ground. even if you are already going 40mph.

For short runs heat isn't a problem for me. And for speed, I use a little 3 oz garmin Foretrex GPS. Easy and accurate. Only 89 bucks.

thats gona be crazy! Just watch your temps though.

I ran my Brushless Stampede the other day. It has a 83 Spur and a 25 Pinion and I use the New Traxxas 7-Cell 3300mah and I hit 55MPH. I'm gonna try a 28 and a 31 Pinion real soon and see how it goes then.

[RCdude33]

this guy hit 65 with 25/86 gearing which is amazing! I bet you can hit way fast than 70 mph if you gear it 31/83, do another vid with that gearing

[jimmymoss7644]

i broke the wheelie bar off because the pavement is really sticky for those big tires! hate when it flips end over end
