Edit! Traxxas has just released the 2wd VXL version with the Heavy Duty upgrades. My comparison videos are obsolete at this point! The more proper comparison would be: Fury 223S vs Slash VXL
also awesome informative reviewalso dude a benefeit of the hcg is that there is a space in the back you can put the esc in that little box which helps with the weight being on the back so on sakteparks when you aldn on the fron tires the enrgy can get transfered to the back better disspation of energy in a physcis persepective what do you thnk
@@sanjayshaun8450 Eh, doesn't affect much at all. It's already got the motor and diff in the back which is most of the weight of the whole truck already. Even with he LCG chassis it's about a 30% front, 70% rear weight distribution. Especially with the lipo installed, which is biased towards the rear. The ESC doesn't weigh much at all, so it doesn't matter where it's placed. Maybe on the 4x4 you'd want it towards the rear, but there's so much weight in the rear of the 2wd as is, it doesn't matter. And in terms of material, the LCG is actually a slightly stronger plastic. Less brittle and lighter weight.
an aweosme video owould be if possible taking all 3 of your trucks to the skapeparks doing the exact same jumps with them talkiong 20 30 feet in the air sand seeing which one alsts the longest appreciate a video like that
@@K5_RC dude an iphone is fine the quality on the 15s and 16s is simlar to the 50 100t housand dollar acameras they had in the 90s if not the phone camera is better btw if not better than camera s back then the camera you are filming on right now is good
@@sanjayshaun8450 I have not! I've heard about it, but don't really care enough to give it a try. If something breaks, I don't have a problem fixing it!
@@sanjayshaun8450 yeah I don't mind my phone camera, I'm just trying to find an easier way to record without needing to only use one hand for driving. I've got a new mount I can clamp to my controllers, gonna try it out soon!
I just got a fury, and slapped a old vxl-3s system in it. I love the design, but arrma really needs to release some parts for them. Particularly we need some options for the spur gears. Granted I'm using the stock pinion that came with the truck, but it's slow as hell compared to all the slashes I've owned on 2s. Almost seems like it was faster brushed. Otherwise it's a cool truck. Servo died after one drive though 🥲
@@minibike2099 yeah it seems slower than my Castle Slash, as you could see in this video lol. But I also am using the stock pinion gear, so it probably wants some more gearing! I agree Arrma needs to release some upgrade parts. I have had 0 issues with the Fury, even the servo is still perfect. I love this thing.
@K5_RC yea i like it a lot, my first arrma and it definitely seems beefy. But the servo is a ticking time bomb from what Ive read. Literally ran one 2s lipo thru it, just lightly bashing it around the yard to break it in. Servo was fine, Then swapped to the old Traxxas vxl3 setup I had, with a new flysky gt5 and the servo shorted when I was calibrating the remote and esc. So I threw a Traxxas one I had in there 🤣😂 truck is a rolling blasphemy now, arrma gods are gonna hate me. When I get a bigger pinion I'm gonna try the same hobbywing esc you have but with a 3660 3700kv and see how she rips.
traxxas has so much to offe thanks to a very old platform and lots of third party component. It have also been raced so much than the public and affectionated customer will always have a sweet spot for it. Arrma fury has middle rear motor mount, LCG chassis and out of the box brushless ready transmission (the base version) overall super durable and can still be improved. I would go for the slash if u are an experienced driver and u want also to race, so u buy basically a used chassi roller version for nothing and u put a nice hobbywing and a decent servo, the fury i would get it blx (with gyro, metal servo btw) for random bashing and some nice fun for young and newbie too, thus going in it with the idea of just keep cleaning it and playing but not investing any money.
@@enricomiceli5517 I 100% agree. The Slash is more of a project than anything. Endless aftermarket makes it so easy to make a custom build. The Fury is definitely better out of the box by a long shot, especially the brushless one being less expensive than the brushed Slash and still faster, tougher, and better handling. Just doesn't have the customization the Slash offers
@@sanjayshaun8450 I did. It's full RPM except the bumpers and rear bulkhead. As stated in the video. 0:32 And yeah, I plan on taking both trucks to the skate park at some point, but life is super busy right now. Brand new, the Fury is tougher than a brand new Slash, I've broken the Slash a few times before I upgraded. But with the upgrades, I think the Slash will be stronger.
@@K5_RC what upgrades would u remomed for the 2wd slash also yous should put 60 weight oil in the back helps alot also putting shock spacers a lot of them in the back and 2 in the right one and 1 in the left front one physics wise its a better idea duraility wise also rpm fron arms in the slash do you think that would make it more durable at the skateparl the slash
also dude you have to get this car get an xmaxx you can find a used one for 500$ spray mucc of 94 on all the plastics nothing will break ever. Its the most fun rc ever that l have l have 7 rc's including this slash 2wd but that is the most fun, period.
@@sanjayshaun8450 I'm not a fan of Monster Trucks since I don't really ramp jump very often, and skate park trips are rare. I know all about the Xmaxx and yeah, it's really tough. I'd take an XRT instead though.
@@K5_RC true you could get a xrt which l got ended up selling it when you get trucks that size you want them to be big a have ground clearnace with the xrt not much ground clearance
@@sanjayshaun8450 the LCG is made of a better material, the HCG is not tougher, they're about the same. But mostly for the handling. I planned on doing parking lot racing with it, so LCG was ideal.
@@sanjayshaun8450 runtime is very similar, both trucks seem to last forever on a 5200mAh battery. Both systems are very similar in smoothness. But I think the Castle system is faster. But it costs twice as much as the Hobbywing.
@@K5_RC well you can gear both trucks up to a same top speed. soo.. oh do you eman you can gear up to a higher speed but castle has more low end torque than the hobbywing also which gets longer run times cheers
@@sanjayshaun8450 My Castle combo is paired with a 58t spur and 13t pinion My Hobbywing combo is paired with a 61t spur and 14t pinion. But I'm not sure the final drive ratio for each vehicle, being the idle gears or diff ring gears, so I'm not sure how to fairly compare the ratios. All I know is that they both go over 50 mph, which is all I want.
ok dude how about this an n full rpm upgraded lash vs a fury vs the mojave 4s which would you say would last the lognest on a concrete skaetpark 20 30 feet on the air onto the conrete and wihch would survive for all types of jumps meaning not only the tires but the fronts side basically giving a 7 year an rc car and telling them to try and break it lol which one would you say wouldnt break or break last
@@sanjayshaun8450 Honestly I don't think I could break any of the 3 of them. The Mojave 4S was my go-to skate park truck and all I ever broke on it was an arm. The Fury is almost indestructible. And the Slash, with how many upgrades I have, I don't think would break. But yes, a durability test is in the future for this channel.
also on a skatpark what do u usuallu break ive broken a a non traxxas arm but then l upgraded to rpm also what do you think of traxxas hd palstic vs rpm which would u say is mroe durable
@@sanjayshaun8450 like I stated in the video, I got my Slash right before the Heavy Duty Slash came out, so mine still had the super fragile plastics. I don't have experience with the HD parts other than the driveshafts, which are fine. I've stripped the stock plastic spur gear on the Slash, broke a front caster block, broke a front bulkhead. And I've never even bashed it very hard. In general, though, I usually break arms at the skate park with most trucks. From what I've heard, though, the Heavy Duty parts are really similar in durability to the RPM ones, so my current upgrades probably match the durability of the new Heavy Duty Slash.
@sanjayshaun8450 both really.. 0.48p gears are really touchy. One tiny change in mesh and they strip because the gears are so tiny. Bigger gears like mod 0.8 or mod 1 don't strip as easily because even when mesh gets slightly moved, they are still meshed good enough most of the time. Plus, Traxxas makes pretty bad gears, even their metal ones.
@@K5_RC yep true but more unessary strian on the motor what l have done it=s keep the stock 86t spur or 90 anythign lowee strips and put the biggest pinion possible couldve tried that but hey everyone ahs their own opiinions
@@sanjayshaun8450 I let my 4 year old nephew beat the junk out of my brushless Fury, it never broke. So I'd go with the Fury for sure. The Slash with the Heavy Duty kit might be ok, but it still would need the upgraded gears since the stock ones are so bad.
