@@robertstoner728nah man. Nitro is the way. So much fun to run. I came from running xmaxx,kraton 6s. Outcast 8s. Wr8 flux. Super Baja Rey and I just got my First gas Rc n love it. I find running my electrics so boring now.
@@ericstepney2411 Pretty sure traxxas is done with making any new nitros but they will still support the platforms they have but nothing new from what my hobby shop has told me
Great video, Mark! Thanks for showing it at the track. I bought the BL-2S and upgraded it to these VXL electronics as soon as it was released and it's a super fun car.
Got this set up last Saturday. 1st time out the plastic drive train bearing melted with the 3s Lipo battery (about 50 degrees outside. Don't trust the auto shutdown). Would recommend upgrading to the aluminum bearing and adding cooling fan and heat sink fan. Got those upgrades today and have not had any issues since. This thing is fast and has agile handling but I would do the upgrades before even doing a test run.
You know before I didn’t really care about unboxing or reviewing, but lately I’ve just been a little curious about what a future purchase I would one day make, work and function. But honestly speaking your probably one person to recommend going to for any RC review. 👍👍💯💯💯
The vxl doesn’t have any motor thermal protection. The only traxxas models that do have motor thermal protection are the ones with standard telemetry motor temp sensors. I believe that’s limited to the x trucks, xo-1, and ultimates.
I feel your pain Mark! Been raining like that here in Waco too and I just cant get any videos done. Thanks for the great content brother Texan! I was JUST about to buy the BL2 one but I will wait for that one now!
I’m thinking about picking one of these up tomorrow but I’m also thinking about the BL-2S variation to save some money. I already have a mix of vehicles that are XL-5 and VXL systems and I also have a spare VXL system that I could throw in it if I bought the BL-2S one, but on the other hand I’d like to try the new BL-2S system. Sorry if that sounds confusing, lol. 😂
Not a huge deal, but when you buy a Traxxas start-up tool kit you get one of those double sided wrenches with the 4 and 8 mil on it. It's a pretty cool little kit. There's an Eco Power kit that's exactly the same if you don't want it to say Traxxas all over it. Not hating on Traxxas. I'd love to have a car like that.
SWEEEEET !!! LOVE THE TIRES…. CHASSIS NEEDS A QUIK BLACK DYE JOBBY DONE TO IT.. UPGRADE THE SHOCKS PUT THE SPEED GEAR IN IT. AN YOUR SET…. 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Even with the BL-2S version, I still opted for the Titan 12t version JUST BECAUSE of the Body. I'm about to pull the trigger on a second body, just so I have one in display condition. I do love the Rally. I ordered a HW combo at the same time and only put 1 pack through the Titan before switching to the 10bl120/3700kv combo. It's a blast. I also changed it over to the Metal Center diff instead of the slipper clutch. I do agree that there is way too much body rub on the ground. Still not quite sure of the most elegant want to overcome this without either ruining a body, or making the body height look goofy.
Pretty! ...but when it lands from the jumps, it seems like a building falls!😖 I didn't even see the box of Ken's legendary Fiesta 1/16 among your cars...I still have the box, suspension arms, rims with DC logo and BODYWORK IN ITS PACKAGING SEALED (🤩🥰🏁) ...plus the car I still play with 😀👍💪🏁
I have the origanal ralley "Wide Version" and I found the front end being so low, it was kinda frustrating. I switched it to the truck body and bumpers.
Hello, Nice video! Can u suggest me some street tires for this model, I just got it and I'm mainly going to run it on pavement, so any suggestions wound be appreciated.
Hey Mark, do you have any suggestions for an aluminum shock tower for the Traxxas Bandit? I got one for mine but its for a rustler and it doesnt go with mine. If you could let me know that would be awesome. Thanks :)
Can you trim the body and put it on a track again? Try to make it drive nicely. Maybe put better tires on it and see what performance you can get out of it. Looks promising
This is a rally car. This thing is made for sliding around in loose dirt. I think you would enjoy it much more taking it to a baseball diamond or similar type of area. Something smooth but loose.
Poke 4 equally spaced holes through the center line of the rubber tires then hold it in the air and Rev it up all the water will come out. Prepare to get wet 😂
The one thing Traxxas needs to get rid of because there prices are all so high is the plastic driveshafts. They need to put metal driveshafts in all there vxl models
Wish it handled like a real rally car, with tons of oversteer swinging it around turns and hitting the jumps with tons of suspension travel. When i first saw it, i just had Colin McRea in my head. But what i saw a 4wd slash with a rally body. It’s probably a good r/c and my expectations were unrealistic. Maybe a 4-Tec would make a better rally platform.
I wish Traxxas would put releases out like this but in a nitro model! Give us nitro guys something to get excited about! A 5.0 nitro, something!
Nitro is almost obsolete
@@robertstoner728 True, but just saying that's all, lol!

Nitro is totally out of business.

What pinion and spur gears did you use? I want to do the same since I already have a spare 3s vxl system

Cool Rally. Good to see Traxxas improvement to the Rally
I have watched a couple ton f your videos and this track layout is one of my favorites. Just looks fun
The rally is one of the best out of the box cars for carpet! Great car in my opinion!
You know before I didn’t really care about unboxing or reviewing, but lately I’ve just been a little curious about what a future purchase I would one day make, work and function. But honestly speaking your probably one person to recommend going to for any RC review. 👍👍💯💯💯
Mark i love the editing you've been doing lately. The extra work is noticed and makes the videos just that much better
They need a track just for these cars. We have a rally track where im at. The hpi knock off car and these traxxas cars do well on those.
I love the rally. It actually makes a awesome natural dirt oval car.
The vxl doesn’t have any motor thermal protection. The only traxxas models that do have motor thermal protection are the ones with standard telemetry motor temp sensors. I believe that’s limited to the x trucks, xo-1, and ultimates.
Awesome car, I have the original with the skulls, and I did the VXL upgrade and it is fast, My rally is one of my favorite cars 💯
You should take the hpi wr8 to the race track
Great car 👍
Not knocking the rig, but it sounds like a dropped toolbox when it lands. Looks cool and fast and fun on a smoother surface.

I'm getting this and a slash or 2. The slash I want to race with my sons at local tracks. Your awesome once again

This is a great review. I had the originally rally and I found different ires, like most cars, made it easier to control and drive.
Really dig this one! Yeah it checks the boxes for me but we’ll…. Yeah I’m a fan boy too.
I wish the green one would come with green hop ups and the green wheels
I’m excited to see some content on this. Really curious to see how it does in a parking lot kinda street bash environment.
Nothing like the sound of Nitro on the track!
Love my Rally, has a VXL system in it now.
Really hope they do this to the 2wd rustler vxl but that rally car lookin good so maybe I’ll get both

Loved hearing the nitro on track
Love the rallies my whole stable is rallies all over 70 mph
It's a blast of a car I'm about to buy another slider to build another! 😬
Drifting in the rain fun just get a good coat

Just get a clear body and spray it.
Raining all week here in Texas 😊
Its finally over! Lol
Excellent content bro number 1 fan!!!💯
Lets do a spec rally series!
👍

So stoked! Been waiting for this
Looks insane I like the details
You have the best job in the world, great video as always
Gonna get this green one.
Nice car. It sounded like someone was slamming a trash can lid everytime it landed.
Enjoy your videos. Wish we had a track in the Grapevine/Southlake area.
When are you trying out the new belted Traxxas tires for sledge and maxx
awesome i am going to get one next friday great video
Wow you've seen both❤❤❤
BL2s is a good thing but Vs VXL what do you recommend!?
I'm really interested in this
Thank you
Nice car cool set up
love the video bro. but i STILL think the old rally from when the velenion first came out was the best
Hopefully proline,concepts etc comes out with different/clear Bodies for this! I'm not into Traxxas flashy paint jobs lol! Thing looks awesome!
That big shell of a body is so loud on the landings!
Ya definitely Kool brushless.
I have the origanal ralley "Wide Version" and I found the front end being so low, it was kinda frustrating. I switched it to the truck body and bumpers.
Getting back into the hobby, just picked one up these up and was wondering, is the red plug on the side for a fan or something?
Great video Mark! And this almost exactly what I want. I would prefer an Ultimate edition ... but I may not be able to resists this.
Needs the sway bars!
cool at skate park
Enjoy the weekend brother can't for next video
Newbie in the hobby world here! What scale are these?
i just got the BL2s rally last weekend, I'm kind of butthurt this didn't release sooner because I definitely would have got this instead.
There's a Travis Pastrana version of that! Might b snap-on not sure!
What track is this ?? Heading to LA next week . hope its close to Hollywood area. Thanks!
Aye fellas. Is there anyway of putting a Slash body on this rally? With some modifications?
I like this green body over the old one.
Bring to STXRC when you come down!

I wish traxxas would bring a max version of this
You rock Mark
The Vxl rally runs like the bx2s if you run a 3s on practice mode.
Great video!!!
Witch one should i by? This one or the Kyosho wrx8 is there any better rally car?
This is a rally car. This thing is made for sliding around in loose dirt. I think you would enjoy it much more taking it to a baseball diamond or similar type of area. Something smooth but loose.
Traxxas needs to upgrade those shocks.
Woot!
I literally just bought the BL2S 😢
i dont know if i should get this or the traxxas raptor r?? wat you guys think ?
It did good on the track, but would have been sweet in the rain. Wuss 😆
Lucky you get them for free 🚗
I like it!
Also do a comparison to wr8.
Hey mark……. Use your powers AN influence Traxxas to come out with A 1/5 UDR
All my traxxas 4 way wrenches have traxxas on them and there from 2020
Just made my pick harder hpi wr8 the Cen and now this grrrrr 😮😅😊
Poke 4 equally spaced holes through the center line of the rubber tires then hold it in the air and Rev it up all the water will come out. Prepare to get wet 😂
I need a roller or kit of this!
The one thing Traxxas needs to get rid of because there prices are all so high is the plastic driveshafts. They need to put metal driveshafts in all there vxl models
Gotta have the Basher body and the Shelf body Bro 😂🤙
Believe it or not the 2056 servo has a higher torque rating than the 2075 servo
Thermal protection is not existent in the vxl motor esc. Only once you add sensores.
Is no longer available already. Can only find the new BL version not the vxl.
👍👍
What shock oil should I use on the hpi savage xs flux 1/12
I like your channel bro
But you have access to a indoor track 😮for the price point I'd hope for better
Yeah I got VXL metal axles
Idk why traxxas doesn’t do a new body. Everybody is over the fiesta. Give us a damn evo or some other car. Licensed body.
Put a cooling fan on the esc and motor
Finally
VXL allday its bulletproof!
Xmaxx Ultimate Clone, Drag Slash and Monster Slash 2wd for me 💪💪💪 #TraxxasFanboy so what lol😂

Do You Guys Vent Your Tires To Let Any Water That Got In Out??
Looks like it really donkey kicks. Did that get any better?
