I’ll get a vendetta one day based on your videos but I can’t do it right now, I’m building two drag race cars that are sucking up all my money. Gotta love the hobby
I'm glad you picked up the color you did,now maybe you'll be able to see that yellow from a pretty good distance, you know us old guys,..our eyes aren't what they used to be....great video 😃😃✌🏾✌🏾😎😎,
I agree 100% with you on color, my heart wanted the blue Vendetta but my head said green. My head won & i got green, at least my weary old eyes have more chance seeing the car better lol.
@@earlmoorhead5555 omg yes. Def a metal spur gear would be so nice! I've seen some people doing the mod1 spur conversion, but it just seems too much work for not a whole lot of difference. So idk, still researching some more.
Your video really explains and shows what to do very well. Did what you show and even being a newbie had no problems at all. Can you explain why you only adjusted the rear shocks and not the front? And is this done to raise the chassis or to give it a firmer ride, or both?
Raise the back to keep the rc from backflips at 100mph also stiffer rear suspension as the wing will push it down causing it to flip if it’s to soft so I max out the rear and leave the front soft to push into the assfault 👍👍💯
@@earlmoorhead5555 now I understand Earl. Appreciate your help and quick response. Really enjoying your channel and videos. Retired and just getting into the hobby. Some 50 plus years ago did the slot cars and this is proving to be just as fun. Thanks again 😊
I like that neon green/yellow body for the vendetta, I wouldn't have been able to see the dark body down range. Thanks for tips on the wing hopefully it won't rip off at higher speeds.👍👍
I watched your speed run testing video after this upgrade and you had some oil coming from rear diff housing. Did it end up being the diff or was it the problem you found in the wobbling tires video you made about the vibration of the tires?
I picked up one up the other day same colour as yours definitely looks better in person, that's an easy mod👍 I wouldn't mind trying those powerhobby wheels but unfortunately can't get them here at the moment due to USPS not shipping to Australia already had one batch of saga gears returned to him an my original order sitting in Jakarta for the past couple of months now unfortunately. So I'm curious to see how these tyres go, great video 😎
A 6s battery on that motor (98,000rpm on a full battery) is almost twice the motors max rpm of 50,000. How many speed runs before that motor burns out?
i just got my go pro 7 Black Today so Now i can start to unbox some kits as i have a Vandetta in green and also a Felony in black i have been wanting to rip for ages but also wanted to video tape it all so now i can just waiting for the weather to be nice to get out there and run me some RC i think i will too be raising the lid on the Vandetta as i don't wanna be rubbing the body on the tire at high speeds as could potentially cause a crash and break apart the tires , i would like to be able to get a bit of fun usage out of it before i start throwing in cash as i know i will need to at some point but prevention of where and when is possible is best so huge thanks for this video as i think this is the second or third watch getting more itchy to start this speed run thing that im really looking forward to with some higher end cars as of far i have just been using the WLtoys and HSP still getting up to 50 MPH(hsp) and for me thats fast, atm so any insight and handy tips ill take onboard for sure thanks Earl M for these awesome Video's its really appreciated 🙂
I have 2 vendettas, I plan on trying to upgrade one of them. I might just get the 120 amp esc because I don’t plan on trying to run it on anything higher than 4s
I ordered the vendetta last night. Because of your videos. I think my wife is gonna send you hatemail lol. I can't wait to see what you do with this car now that you have one of your own ;) P.S. I ordered the green because my eyes could not see the car in your vid and I'm hoping I can see the bright green ;)
So help me understand, maybe I missed something...How is 1 part changing out a pinion AND an ESC? That ESC is a big cost upgrade, little different than throwing a 5 dollar pinion at it and going 100+mph no? I like what you did here otherwise, some good tips in the video. Working on a 75mph infraction mega right now. Sticking with nothing but cheap stuff off AliExpress.
Pinion comes with the rc only have to buy one part and the esc is a take off unit as most have them from the infractions or any of arrma 6s line Or Jenny rc the cost is not bad to go 100mph for so little money 💰
I just put speed pinion on mine. Can’t get clip on because the screws hit the back of the pinion . No idea how you got yours to work . Mine will not bottom out without hitting motor screws.
It’s a used take off part plus Jenny rc for the whole motor and esc combo is $130.00 or just buy the esc from them on eBay for $100.00 if you didn’t remove one from your other arrma 6s line like I did on my felony and infractions or 6s Kraton I had many laying around and everything on the rc is box stock including the speed gears included in the box with the speed wing ?
@@earlmoorhead5555 ohh trust me I'm not hating on you. Very informative video. I have the 3s vendetta Only bought it cause it was on sale for $319 at my local hobby shop in Massachusetts. I build a 2wd street slash that does 70mph. So this video sparked my interest on making the vendetta faster.
Yes most motors don’t car about power just need to keep an eye on temps it’s not like an esc that’s says 6s rated most motor are build to handle more power 👍👍
I show the batteries used in the series on my playlist as I’m not sure where you are in the series but the complete build and running in every stage so ppl can easily copy it is in my playlist 👌
@@anthonyjaques5844 yes like I’ve shown watch temps it’s not meant for bashing but speed runs if your doing back to back runs you need to watch the motor temps and outside temps don’t be running on extreme hot days and expect things to last a electric motor only cares about rpm and temps to live 💯
@@earlmoorhead5555 ooohhh ok. I’m running the vorteks 20t option speed pinion, spektrum 150 esc and 6s in my vorteks with an outcast wing on the front to keep it down. I had wheelie issues because it’s not the most aerodynamic body. That wing acting as a splitter keeps me plants but I can’t get pass 82 mph. Think if I get the hot racing motor mount and throw in that 26t I should get closer to that 100mph mark?
@@mikelester5524 motor don’t care about the battery just rpm and heat kills motors so watch temps and motor will last no back n forth passes with a hot motor
I was at Ace yesterday & noticed they have spray cans of undercoating and spray-on bed liner. Was wondering if these might be good for reinforcing/stabilizing those weak areas of the body?
Thanks for the tips, I got mine out for its first rip today. I Still need to pull the antenna out to increase the range a bit but I got 84mph on 4s and a 120A Esc.
The screw head still doesn’t fit in the small space but as an air frame power plant mechanic we are taught never to have a nut on top incase it falls off the screw will hold it in place 🤷🏻♂️

Only the the unshielded part of the wire is for reception. Lengthening the shielded part of the antenna does nothing really.
