Hello to all. This channel is dedicated to RC. The goal is to provide videos that can be helpful to those thinking about getting into the hobby or are new to the hobby. Videos will be uploaded with teardowns of RTR models, builds, recommendations, setups, and other RC related information.
After January 1, 2023, I will upload videos about once a month usually on a Sunday.
From time to time I may upload videos Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to keep current, or more than one video at a time due to a race weekend or content request. This will be in an effort to release content in a timely fashion. But I shall try to release one at a time once per month (unless it is a race weekend).

Traxxas BL 2s is not faster than a Titan 12T...initially... But it is still far better
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Cars with a BL-2s tend to be geared higher out of the box making it seem it is a "faster" motor. But when a Titan 12T is geared as high as the BL-2s, it more than keeps up on a drag race. Here I give details about the two motors and I explain which is my choice and why.

RC VTA 2023 November 5 At Norcal Hobbies thoughts on Trinity Slot Machine Fantom Helix Muchmore V3
it seems like there may be a servo issue that the handling is so bad .... i dont even know if it would be fun to even use that one at all other thatn speed runs.
It is much better with the Supra tires. It is not much fun with the stock tires.
Nice blue ford body. Classic Bigfoot
IT is. I hope they come out with this for the TRX4mt
@@telecomandorc i’m thinking Furitek
How is the fantom icon V2? Or is better Hw G4? Thank
I have to check my numbers. It had more rpm but the G4 had more torque if I recall. But the Helix has more torque. I recall the V2 being great for buggy and the Helix for SCT.
It would be interesting to see these types of cataloged fixed timing stats for 21.5T motors. Obviously without the adjustments of timing degrees. More so just to see the difference between such a restricted class.
Good suggestion.
Hi I have a 4600 kv castle with a copper head. Will I be able to hit hi Mph with this setup?
You should be able to but the motor will probably heat up. I am assuming it is the Castle 1406. If so, this motor is much shorter at about 50mm vs the 1412 at 62.5mm of length. You might have to gear down a little due to the lower torque. But it should hit that speed but not for long due to heat.
In black of course😎
For sure. 😎
Does this type of car fit racing on track? Isn't it way too heavy? It is a tank
The 4-Tec 2.0 does but it is a bit too heavy to be competitive in most race classes. It is even to heavy for VTA.
@@telecomandorc True. I guess AUW is 1.7kg
@@howintesting940 But some tracks do have 4-Tec classes. The best one is the VTA 4-Tec.
Yes. Thanks!
@@howintesting940 My pleasure.
It's a huge pain in the butt putting the diff back in the housing, took me like 5 min.. was very annoying.
I just added portal axles to my trx4m and it was reversed but you’re so helpful and I fixed it with that. Thanks so much
I am glad. Cheers.
Can't hear it. Great video
It may have come on "mute". It is working fine in the play list.
Unfortunately, I made the commitment to a set of factory five 3.0's when they went on that sale last year. Will these supra wheels fit those that you area aware of? Any ideas you have for a solution on those cars to get some better performance would be appreciated. I've tried several things and just not happy...
That was a really good sale though. It is just about what you want to do with it. I would start with this: ruclips.net/video/prOtYO1p-nI/видео.html I would also lock the front diff. You can also consider: ruclips.net/video/phNn35u3sLI/видео.html
it'll take 3s trust me. with wide tires onroad
😃 You just gave me an idea.
On 3s 5200mah 50 c 75 spur 25 pinion I made 11.34 volts 53.53 amps and 617.7Watts of power
New sub just for the entertaining animated intro. I also have a 2024 kit on the way, looking for insights. Thanks!
😁 Thank you. Gear diff is easier to tune.
Thank you. This is the simplest and most effective explanation I found to get started with a reference point on the servo.
My pleasure.
Put a smaller pinion gear on it
Always a good option. 🤝
Just watched part one and two. I recently upgraded my infraction 3s with metal geared diffs front and back (pinion and spur), and the diffs are much tighter than the factory ones. I haven’t had the chance to give the car a rip, but I was wondering how this will affect the car. Seems like tighter diffs are exactly what I want and need. Cause I just want to drift and power slide, no precision driving at all. 😊 Thanks so much for this video, it really deserves much more views and likes!!
Reminds me of the Arrma Limitless. That thing drifts all day. Fun stuff.
Too much steering car slides. 1. Thicker diff oil or solid shaft front. 2. Lower diff fluid rear. 3. Harder shore front tire. 4. Harder front sway bar 5. Harder front spring. There’s so much you can do to fix that back end.
I have a follow up to this. Springs did all the difference. Stiffer in the front mainly. Extracrispy ran his after tuning it and it podiumed with the top cars.
If I'm not mistaken, the only thing needed to convert one of these into a Slash, is a Slash body, front and rear bumpers, and a different clipless body mount set that matches the Slash body. Then, depending on running conditions you may want to remove the internal shock limiters and change springs/oil/piston rates. I'm tempted to buy and convert one myself honestly. Would be great fun for my backyard track.
You have my vote. Then you can go back and forth between the two and you get the better tires.
So you have been running the Helix for a while now in VTA, how do you it?
I am not sure what the question is referring to, but depending on the weather: 83T spur with pinions ranging from 47-52T.
@@telecomandorc Sorry, i was sleeping while typing that. In one of your other videos you mentioned that you were going to run the Helix in VTA. I was wondering how that worked for you? I have an MC5 and i'm not thrilled with it.
@@warren6814 It is good, but it needs to rev. Make sure to gear it a bit lower. Although, compared to the MC5 you might be around the same gearing but the Fantom has more RPM. But Fantom is the way to go. But do not get too cought up on motors. Unfortunatly, VTA is the class most people cheat in if tech inspections are not strict. So you might be going up against Outlaw motors. I told the owner of a track once and ran an Outlaw myself to see if I could match the top guys on the straights and... surprise surprise... I did match them. But the Fantom is the best in my books.
Ooh my hat nunca seria igual . Ooh mi sombrero.. .. Perdio algo , verdad ? Saludos / Cheers & TY for your nitty gritty & comprehensive reviews.

Dont have a traxxas but the hat blowing off in the wind is 100% relatable. haha
Specially when riding. Not sure how cowboys do it.
I did my diff lock free just put the pinion gears I the diff in different orientation 👌
Thank you 👍
🤝 My pleasure
How can I get faster acceleration and could you get more speed out of it?
With the stock system? You cannot get both. You either gear down (larger spur or smaller pinion) for more accelerations, but it will peak fast and have low top end. Or you can gear high (smaller spur or larger pinion) but it would accelerate slower but eventually have more top end. If you have a chance, consider: ruclips.net/video/8nTBMHc2eIk/видео.html Do you have a Titan 12T or a BL-2s?
@@telecomandorcI have nitro brother, 3.3 single speed
@@josephybarra3555 Gearing still applies. But a leaner mixture will yield more power and more speed but higher temps. Do not exceed 275F. Another options is the O.S. replacement for the TRX3.3. Unless you know someone who will tune your 3.3 by working on the ports in the sleeve.
@@telecomandorc awesome thank you for the help brother 🙏🏽
@@josephybarra3555 My pleasure. Side note: I geared my Nitro Slash. Amain has the gears.
Right to the point, subbed.
Greatly appreciated.
Im switching from a 17.5 to a 21.5 Anyone know what gearing to start with? I currently have 72/30 Car is 2wd associated buggy
Anyone, chime in. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Some thoughts: You have a 72T spur. Have you considered running the 69T. Try the 69T spur and a 35T pinion. Lock out the slipper if you are running a slipper. Slippers will slow you down a tenth or more per lap.
@telecomandorc I don't currently have a 69. I thought about trying that but they don't have one at LHS I'd have to order one, I may do that in the future. For now I just have a 72, so not sure what to try for a pinion with 21.5 I also only have the slipper but I'm racing on High grip clay, I thought the direct drive was more for carpet?
@@MX-CO The slipper is more to save the idler gear. If you take a jump the go to throttle before the rear tires land, you can break the idler without a slipper. Carpet is higher grip than clay in my opinion since we run pins on the tires. You can always torque it down more. See what the other guys are running.
@@telecomandorc OK gotcha, I was thinking it was more for traction, and I thought the direct drive on dirt would be more likely to lose traction.
I tried both the 28 and the 30 today, both stayed cool enough, little faster with 30, I could probably go bigger though
Any suggestions on what gearing to use on a 2wd team associated buggy with a 21 5 motor? Im switching from 17.5 to 21.5 and im not sure what gearing i should use
Are you doing the switch because the class is 21.5T. If not, stick with the 17.5T. You that is a 21.5T class, that is awesome. Makes for a bit closer racing. I am not sure. It depends on temperature. What Pinion are you running with the 17.5T? You can probably go up 30%. Say you run a 17T, you can start with a 24T. Or if you run a 25T try a 30T. Then take the temperature after five laps. The adjust or run it longer until you can run 5 minutes between 150-160F. If you go over 160F gear down if you are at 130F gear up.
@telecomandorc I'm switching to a 21.5 class just because I'm new and 17.5 is very fast, and I crash a lot. I'm just trying to get some experience in 21.5, and then I'll likely move back up to 17.5., both classes are very competitive in my area. (Whip it RC Raceway in Reno Nevada)
I bought a 17.5 surpass V6 prior to getting a 21.5 and the 17.5 rips, it's very fast. I'm hoping the 21. 5 will be fast for a 21.5 as well. I haven't tried it yet
@@MX-CO If you already bought the 21.5T, go for it. If not, just drom the timing on the 17.5T to 35 degrees. The 21.5T Fantom does about 2900Kv at 48-50 degrees. The 17.5T will have about the same Kv at about 35-37degrees. Try turning the timing down on your 17.5T fist. Or see if your Tx will allow you to set Ch2 to 80%.
I'm entering a 21.5 class, so I think I have to run a 21.5 to race that class, I have both motors now. But at least they are cheaper than most. I got the 17.5 and The 21.5 both for about the price of one high end phantom or another high end certified motor. And the 17 5 rips, I haven't yet tried the 21.5
The fastest car in the 21.5 class at our local track is running a fantom, that car is visably faster than the rest and looks faster than some cars in the 17.5 class. Some think he's cheating somehow, i cant say for sure one way or the other.
I thought I had replied to this post, or maybe someone else asked the same questions. It is always possible someone is cheating, but Fantom motors are awesome. I ran a 25.5T in F1 and that motor just blow past others. The 21.5T motor I ran was also similar but not as much as the 25.5T. I would have to see it. I way this because I ran the Fantoms for a while. But some guys still blew some of us away. So I ran an outlaw motor and slowed down a bit in the infield and tried to time the straight to enter at a similar time, and bingo. I shared my "experiments" with the owner and my suspicions were confirmed. The owner cracked down on a few and they were upset. Especially one who saw my motor. 😆 Maybe I will make a video someday talking about shenanigans.
I heard somewhere that surpass makes the motors for several popular companies, if that's true i would like to know which ones, i think one was reedy
I have heard the same. And it is possible. But the rotor specs on the Surpass I bought was just better. Then again, that does not mean much as other companies could be requesting different rotor specs for different goals.
Curious how this motor compares to the Surpass Rocket RC V6? I think youve tested both and ran both. What are your thoughts between those 2 motors?
I would take the Rocket. Great price and keeps pace. The rotor is strong in the Rocket.
Is this a universal upgrade for all traxxas models? Thinking about installing them on a 2wd rustler. Sorry i'm late to the party.😅
Party doesn't end until the last person leaves, so your are just in time. You will need the TRA5853X. the shafts of the two models are different diameter.
@@telecomandorc I probably wouldn't have noticed that myself, thx👍
Thanks for the video! My son is using is 4 Tec for TC races and with the wheels the club provides, plus the modified suspension from the previous owner, we are needing to remove these "disc brake hubs" and add a set of extended wheels hexes to help the rear tires have more clearance from the suspension. Do you have a video showing how to install the new wheel hex?
It would be in this video. The disc is part of the hex. All you need to remove is the red caliper. Once you remove it, the disc slips out.
@@telecomandorc thank you.

Thank you, my friend. 🤝
Which 21.5 motor would you buy?
I would get the Fantom RS over and over again. I may make a video in the future.
So its better than the Surpass V6?@telecomandorc
@@MX-CO I think it is. The Fantom is better. but someone with more skill and a V6 will beat a Fantom. But a skilled driver with a Fantom will take the field.
There was a guy at our local club race tonight in the 21.5 2wd intermediate class running a helix rs, he said it was an alpha I don't see that listed anywhere, but anyway this guy's car was so so fast, it was faster than most of the 17.5 classes. He was clearing a big quad that I couldn't clear with a 17.5 . Some think he is cheating some how. He always has the fastest car in whatever classes he is in. Seems a little fishy.. Would you think he is cheating somehow, or is there a logical reason to win easily by 49 plus seconds? Is there a reason any 21.5 should be that much faster than the rest? I think there are others in his race with fantom motors as well, and he laps them with the same motor supposedly
It could be both. Now, I am a fan of Fantom RS motors. My 25.5 was a rocket. My 21.5 was awesome. I could pull on other cars and other drivers though I had something going on. They were just awesome. Now, for VTA I did take an outlaw motor and run it. I would take my time to get to the straight and then try to match people on the straight. This is how I found many people were cheating. I did tell the owner what I was doing. The thing is the Fantom RS is truly and "alpha". So it is hard to tell. I am not sure how large your track is. 49 sec is between 2 and 3 laps here. That is a lot. The guy could be running the outlaw version. Or the guy is a pro driver and has his car dialed.
@@telecomandorcHis car is clearly faster but he isn't a pro driver, there are much better drivers at the track. But his car is very clearly faster on the straights, and clears jumps that no one else in the class can.
@@MX-CO It might be the outlaw model. The Fantom Helix RS and Outlaw versions look very similar. Just peak to see if it is an Outlaw.
Great video as always. Do you recommend this Surpass V6 over the HW G4R, Fantom Helix or Trinity slot machine? Someone recommended this motor over those and im curious what your thoughts are? After watchinf your video it seems the fantom is the king on paper. Wonder what would run best on indoor carper. I guess only one way to find out lol
For 21.5T I would get whatever cost less. This motor is really underrated. When it comes to the HW G4, Fantom RS, and Surpass Rocket V6 it will be all about driver and setup. I would get the best deal out there. I have only used then on asphalt, so let me know what you think about them on carpet.
@@telecomandorc I'm actually running 17.5 sorry forgot to mention that. If it makes a difference
Contol arms are diffrent and axles are shorter on the no prep, trying to convert a no prep to sct while keeping the camaro body to make a short course camaro.
You would need custom offset wheels. But I doubt it will work. The only thing I can think of is mounting the body up high. You can always keep the buggy arms and axles and put SCT wheels while lifting the body.
I’m going to build the electric unassembled slash kit with my boys to bash around with. It’ll be their car so I thought I’d get myself my first nitro. Can’t decide if I get the rustler,or get the nitro slash. I don’t really want to have the same car; the slash in electric and nitro, that’s why I’m looking at the rustler. But a lot of people have said that the slash is better than the rustler. Which nitro would you recommend I get knowing that I’ll have and built the electric slash to use with my boys. Thanks!
If the Slash build kit is the old version: ruclips.net/video/9lihqpwAwUg/видео.html That is video 1 of the series I have. Now to your question. It depends on the surface you will drive it one. Think of the Rustler as a short Slash. The Rustler has a 2.5 engine which is alright. The Slash has the better 3.3. I would not trade the 3.3 for the 2.5. The advantage the Rustler has is the body. It helps keep the inside less dirty if you run on dusty surfaces. That's about it. The Slash has a better front bumper just in case. The Rustler does not flip as easily. I would not Slash. The Revo 3.3 is fun too and has better clearance over grass. If you are running on grass, any Slash 2WD is a bad idea. Between the nitro Rustler and Slash, I would go Slash. Plus if you ever get board with the Nitro Slash you can always turn it into a "muscle car" like I did. Here is the basic build: ruclips.net/video/1zRk-gT6_2U/видео.html
@@telecomandorc thanks for the response. I’ve been watching your build series on the slash, thanks for those videos. The one I just ordered has the new brushless motor and lipo batteries. We would be running it on street, dirt (softball fields, dirt RC track) and lots of grass. I do like the design of the rustler; how it has the tires on the outside, and its CG is a bit lower which helps it not get airborne as frequently or often during the speed runs. I do know it has the smaller 2.5 engine, but reviews I’ve watched have said it’s sufficient for the size of the truck, since it is a good amount smaller than the slash. Makes sense why they put the 3.3 in the slash.
@@ericmanning8010 That makes sense. A few notes. The HCG is far better on grass as it does not bog down as much due to less surface area scrubbing. The nitro engine will die fast on softball fields if you do not change out the air cleaner after every tank. That fine dust will scratch up the bore. That is a plus of the Rustler body. I really like the new motor (BL-2s) compared to the Titan. The run times are longer and it is a bit faster. Enjoy what you decide to go with. They are all fun one way or another.
@@telecomandorc I appreciate all the good info and advice. Sounds like I better buy me some extra air filters and have them at the ready!
Thanks so much for your really great video - ohh dear... now I have to attempt❗
Enjoy your build. It is a pleasure to complete a project and more fun to race it. Cheers.
Good info. I am glad you went over "blinky". I am building a 4wd buggy and I need electronics. I have the 10bl 120 that I was using for my drift car but i might put it in the buggy for now with a 13.5t. I'll then upgrade/trade out for the Just Stock ESC. Any recommendations for a motor. I was thinking of running the Bandit or the Just stock motor. Any advice would help. Thank you.
They are good motors, but is this a fixed timing class or open 13.5T? If it is open 13.5T and you can run any timing, I would look into a Hobbywing G4 or a Fantom RS. Both of there come out of the box with great rotors. Here is the link to the HW 13.5T: ruclips.net/video/X2ebQrK6zUM/видео.html If you go into my channel and type 13.5T I think I have done maybe 9 13.5T videos. Feel free to check them out.
Does this have a steering speed setting on it??
It has an expo setting to adjust the responsiveness.
@@telecomandorcthat’s what you were talking about at 19 minutes right? I noticed the problem being twitchy in the corners I just got this remote to solve this exact issue as I’m wobbling at top speed mid turn
@@Stoned_Sparky Oh, that sounds more like a bad servo or Rx. I have only had this happen with a bad servo or the TSM (Traxxas) or stabilizers enabled in different models. I have not had this happen with my Futaba but I never run any gyro or stabilizers. If you have a gyro, turn it off and see what it does.
@@telecomandorc it’s a r203gf receiver I didn’t think it had a gyro and the servo is a box shock sr10 servo maybe it could be weak? I had a guy at my track say it’s the steering speed it’s too fast we race pavement oval asphalt if that helps
@@telecomandorc we are making turns at like 30mph banked asphalt oval maybe the servo can’t handle that speed?
I just went all out and did metal exhaust and blue dot slicks on my nitro slash. Getting a bel air body ready and gonna drimmel the back bumper a little bit to allow easy body fitment but still keep the switch safe. Fingers crossed no going back now lol gonna be hard to find any competition tho 😂
I like the setup. That should be a clean look with the Mustang body.
Thank you
My pleasure.
PERFECT PASS WORK AND CHEAPER.....
Take pictures at every step
Thank for the info. Very helpful.
My pleasure. 🤝
