I bent one of my shock rods already. Lol. And I put a 13 tooth pinion gear in it also. And the hoss wheelie bar just like you said. I realy like your videos. Good information
awww....the look of disappointment at 3:00...lol I am thinking of getting this truck. looks awesome. but will immediately be switching the radio and motor/ESC(hobby wing quick run 10BL120 G2 and 3660 3150 kv motor) to run 3s and prob pinion.
Brushless prices @ XL-5 speeds . Beefed up suspension for the forty extra bucks is nice. Sorry & I just don't get it. Give it a month & used BL2 systems will be cheaply avail on Eb.
It's not much...i remeber having this truck in nitro form WAYyyy back lol. good truck for someone like a kid on a budget. As I was way back. I can't remeber if I had the battery version...I wanna say I did before I moved on to the nitro maxx 2.5.
Great value now, and if you use the Traxxas trade in program for the motor/ESC for the VXL it changes everything. Most of the newer Traxxas models are coming with the Extreme HD kit.
@@redbanditracing I'm looking to get back into hobby. Overall... Should I go Traxxas Maxx V2 (or is it v3 now lol) or the arrma big rock? Cool channel btw...really like your honest everyday RC guy points of view!
Really cool little truck! Im excited to see what you build it up to.
I have this truck and it rocks! Looking forward to the motor swap video!
Nice little bash 👍🏻
Very cool truck 😎💯
I swapped Mines out for the Hobbywing 120 4s combo $86
Love your videos!
And LOL your reaction when you found out the speed LOL
I wast most certainly shocked, we knew it wasn’t going to be fast. But 25mph is pretty bad. VXL upgrade coming soon
@@redbanditracing 😆 🤣
Great video looking forward and see what you do with it.
Thanks 👍

That’s gonna be a nice setup, that’s awesome.
When are there going to be more full sledge vids
Very soon
The bl2s is good but I dont like the forward to reverse delay so I replaced it with a vxl system
Must be your battery. Others have hit 30 mph. I bought one a month ago, just haven't ran it yet.
Did the calibration change the top speed at all
Yes, but by just a few MPH.
@@redbanditracing Do you by chance know what gears are needed to reach 50 mph?
BLT!!! BLT!! 🤣
Whats TSM? Haven't heard that term yet
Traxxas Stability Management, helps to keep your car going straight on throttle where there is no traction
@@redbanditracingis it available on the VLX only.
What esc are you going to use with your 540 vxl?
We will be using the 3500 instead with the VXL 3S ESC.
@redbanditracing nice I'll be doing the same
@@redbanditracing why this over the 540?
Brushless prices @ XL-5 speeds . Beefed up suspension for the forty extra bucks is nice. Sorry & I just don't get it. Give it a month & used BL2 systems will be cheaply avail on Eb.
I can’t say it’s brushless prices for XL-5 speeds because this is a BL-2s 3300kv motor. This is a great value for everything you’re getting.
. it's ready for VXL 3s in the near future .
Its nut bad it just needs a bit if work
25? Slow? Try to run after it to see if you can catch it. I bet you are slower than that. Lol
That would have been funny, running past the BL-2S. Wouldn’t look good on Traxxas.
