Thanks! I bought it on sale for $500, $160 for the Spektrum 8S ESC motor, and about $65 in various spur/pinion gears. It's kind of a "budget" speed build, lol.

@@karlbarbour1023 I'm betting the SCX6 would because of weight.

@Shadowdenn I have a new set ready to go, had to finish these off, lol.

Thank you!

Thank you!

@@simplymentalOG 🤣

It is. Easy to drive, great for beginners.

Works on a Samsung S24 Ultra 🤷‍♂️

@ Dang, I got a iPhone 15 so that’s probably why it didn’t work cs it also has iOS on the paper

How do you like it?

@@superrocketRC yes its so fun

@@trelonlindsey I'm glad you're enjoying it.

@@superrocketRC thanks

@@1981jemario 💪

@@Smooth_Buddy_711 Yes, it still slides back pretty easily.

@Jasonkartracing that is impressive. I also find it interesting that mixing up stock electronics is an effective strategy, the thought never crossed my mind.

@@superrocketRCI was told the Traxxas VXL 3s esc is around 200a and doesn’t have a motor limit whether that’s true I don’t know but it does perform better than the Spektrum 100a esc. Another crazy thing is I’ve had Slashes on 3s and have had no problems running them on 3s for 30 minutes but my drag car on 2s 250c lipo after about 4 runs back to back the VXL esc gets so hot it goes into limp mode cause of the high discharge rate of the battery and the Spektrum 100a doesn’t do that.

😎

I removed the little plastic pieces on both sides of the battery tray.

@@superrocketRC so it’s just held on by straps? I’m currently trying to fit these into a limitless and I am a hair bit short on room

@@DavefromCA2023 Yes, but the CNHL battery in this video is a 6000mah and is long and wide. The 5000mah fits in there no issues and needed no modifications. Also, the 120C CNHL racing series hard case batteries are not very big and easily fit in my vendetta and infraction.

@@superrocketRC I actually have both the 5000 and 6000. The 6000 are going back because no way I am making those fit, having some issues with the 5000 but can make them work

Lol. Check and make sure the propellers are pushed all the way out to the stops, then make sure all 4 propellers spin freely. If you still have an issue, it could be your joystick is not centering correctly, which you may be able to work it into place, but maybe not. Hope you get it sorted out.

I do, indoors.

@stephanieg2920 at that price, they are worth it.

@@robertsimpkins6571 😃

Yes!

Best I've gotten has been about 100ft

Thanks.

Something is wrong. I'll make 2 or so passes on video, then 5 or 6 more off camera with not drop in speed. I've run both battery packs for at least 15 minutes multiple times.

@silvabackwarrior check out my latest video, lol. ruclips.net/video/vBU2S2aAXjE/видео.htmlsi=YOpcZ7Ki6ynXll4n

@Shadowdenn Yes sir!

@@cmcrios After you turn everything on, move the left joystick up, then down. The rotors should start turning.

@@cmcrios Yes

@@superrocketRC when I press the button on the drone nothing happens just the remote turns on

@cmcrios Move the left joystick up, then down after everything is on, the rotors should start to turn.

@cyclecats I wasn't even able to run a 27t pinion on the stock ESC. I just posted a video breaking 100. I went with the silver hoons, same size as stock, working pretty well so far.

@@punky0364 Yes! Thank you!

@@bolincharles1102 Thank you!

I have not.

BTW, it seems slower than my car. I for sure mine will blow by 100+mph if I can keep it down.

@davidlee_thomas7247 Do you have a splitter or anything on it to help with downforce? I also screwed down the rear spring adjusters to keep the rear of the car up. It helps, but it will still blow over if it hits a bump or sudden elevation change.

@davidlee_thomas7247 I'm pretty sure it was at or near 100 when it blew over on that run, I had never seen it noticeably faster than the 88 it did on the previous run, its to bad the GPS fell off and didn't record.

I do have splitters install. The thing is just too fast. I do have the same issue like yours when watching you video. Those two wires have to be reversed. I contacted Spectrum, so far they sent me all new parts, like a new ESC 150a, Receiver and radio. Still same issue, sent it all back to Spectrum but calibrated, they just sent new all new parts again. BTW, I 3D printed fender covers and the before and after is night and day. The car is much cleaner. I still have a set let me know if you need it.

@@davidlee_thomas7247 I've been wondering if covering the finders helps or not. I'll keep that in mind.

@@richardbrown6762 I haven't had anything pop up that needed to be addressed yet. What is happening with yours?

@@superrocketRC lots of dirt gets inside the chassis and motor

@@richardbrown6762 Ahh, yes. That is true.

@@superrocketRC not good for the motor because it has small openings that dirt and debris can get in I took some contact cleaner and a lot of dirt and carbon washed out I'm going to do that often 😯😊👍

@@richardbrown6762 Right on, I'm going to watch out for that.

@@tedshickell7315 I'm not 100% sure, maybe heat related? It seems to be hit or miss if I can run full throttle for longer than 4 seconds.

Also if you loosen the slipper a little bit it will help in the launch

@@connorclark8541 Thanks for the tips!

@Shadowdenn Yes sir!

@@sethmorgan1547 Hope that the "return home" button works.

Having no experience with drift RCs, let alone anything outside of this Traxxas, I can't speak for how good or bad it is compared to other brands plus I'm so bad at it right now to even tell a difference. I will try some others for sure.

@@superrocketRC there’s a few videos and advice people already have done to improve it’s driving, it’s got potential but traxxas definitely did not think of it

​@@ErikBalintMediathe steering angle is the biggest thing that's gonna hinder this, next to the electronics. Lol.

@@cd-pu5uv iv seen a few post how people have gotten near 90deg lock and it drives a lot better

@@ErikBalintMedia better angle, better gyro, faster servo and a motor with more torque and speed and it'll do much better. It like they didn't do any research on what it takes to have a good drift car. Lol.

@@catman25 I can't say that the spin out assist works, but the handbrake does....👍

@Shadowdenn working on that, lol.

@@CoderGirl321 Yes!

@@brandonmcmullen402 Thank you!

@jamesgeorge2852 I don't think the price is that bad for an RTR. MST RTRs are $399, and the 4tec comes with a Traxxas link and a second set of tires. Now I have no experience with drift cars at all, so I can't speak to the performance of a different chassis, but I do want to experience them so I can have the first hand experience.

@@superrocketRC should grab a RTR MST when budget allows just one look at the bodies available would sway you also every machine is tested on Thier track before its boxed and shipped here in Canada they go for 559.99 for the brushless and 449.99 for the brushed also most of the drift cars you see will be running up to 80 degrees of steering at full lock and a dedicated gyro as well

@@jamesgeorge2852 I'm definitely going to check one out. Thanks for the recommendation.

This should be a super bargain when the license agreement runs out and they need to unload them. Assuming you can wait that long..

@@wildgoose6596 I can wait that long to buy my 2nd one, lol

@@punky0364 It is. It will be more fun when I get better at it...

@@mikebianco7854 I'll get one on there and see how it does.

We run anywhere from 30-33 pinion they really scream on the top end. But nice 👍🏽 video man 👍🏽

@@mikebianco7854 Thanks, I appreciate it!

@RecreationAutomotiveGarage Yeah, the cameraman has been fired 🤣

Me too!

Yeah, I think I've gotten too fast for that location, but it's hard finding places to run.

😁

I personally haven't driven one yet, but based on what I've seen, it's a very capable platform. I like how everything is linked up down the center of the chassis. It is the next drag rc I plan on getting, hopefully sooner rather than later. The drag stuff is fun, I just got to get better at it...

Yeah it was!

Thanks. I believe those tires you mentioned are just a bit smaller in overall diameter, close to the same size, but a little smaller. If the stock pinion is 12T, you can try a 13T, though I don't think there will be a noticeable difference on the stock pinion between the 2 tires.

@@superrocketRC Thanks:)) The tires i want to use is a little bit larger than the stock Kraton tires. About 3 cm wider and 1-2 cm "higher". So 14 or15 tooth maybe?

@tittentei7331 A taller tire will give it a "gear up" effect, increasing overall top speed. If you're primary going to bash it, I personally wouldn't go over 15t. Just monitor your temperatures when you make the swap, and that will indicate if you get to gear back down for bashing.

@@superrocketRC Thank you so much. now i understand the gearing system. Thanks again man! Got a new sub! I was already subbed to you. haha

@tittentei7331 I appreciate it! I'll try to answer any questions the best I can, I still have a lot to learn myself.
