Jetlag2222 SUMMIT Twin VXL conversion Part 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- I have gotten hundreds of requests to explain how to set up a dual VXL brushless system like I have on my SUMMIT. So here is the how-to video. You will need to have some knowledge of how to work on RC models in order to do this. And as I said in the video, this is at your own risk. You will void your warranty. So only try this if you are willing to accept the responsibility yourself for anything that goes wrong. Enjoy.
Holy cow... I've been subbed to this channel for a year in a half! This video made me sub! Doesn't feel like that long ago
@jetlag2222 you have the best music on your videos!
Should have put the ESC controller up top.....
I'll just buy one and do it myself......love your videos man
Yes there are hundreds of different ESC/motor combos that could be used. I have heard good things about the hobbywing SC8 combo so it sounds like you made a good choice too. :)
Thank you! I am editing the second half right now. It should be up online in a couple hrs
rofl. yes I would think it would look familiar to you since you've had your twin VXL SUMMIT up and running as long as I have, or maybe longer I can't remember. lol. It does make a nice power system. Thanks for the comps buddy!
Good call. I was talking about the price for brand new at the LHS. you can definitely find them on Ebay or 2nd hand for cheaper. Also those ESCs can run many motors aprox that size, so it wouldn't even have to be velineon motors if you like another brand.
thx so much for the disconnect battery tip
Hmm, that looks familiar. Lol. Great setup for the Summit. I love mine. Great vid dude.
Finally viewable on iPad!!!!!
Great video man.
Really great job man!
If you want a top speed run type machine, go get the Mamba monster power system. It's easier to install and faster. It's just not waterproof. which is what this was about. :)
very good video explained very well
LOve the video. I would just like to ad that one can also program those esc seperate one forward one reverse. But I guess if switching the wires is faster and easier it must not matter. Cool project, great disclaimer. traxxas should pay you
Because we are wiring the electronics in a non-standard fashion. especially if you smoke an ESC or motor doing this wrong, they will NOT replace it.
yes it probably would be now. it wasn't available when I made this video. the single motor/ESC Mamba would be much less complicated to set up as there are a lot of wires in this twin install that can short out or get broken. But my SUMMIT currently still runs this exact setup that I did for this video.
The EMAXX twin VXL would be the same except for 1 thing... Both motors on the EMAXX mount on the same side of the motor mount, so you don't have to reverse the wires on one motor to make it run backwards. They both run the same direction. Other than that, everything I said here will apply just fine to an EMAXX twin VXL upgrade too. :))
Awesome, that thing is going to be fast as sh**
Great explanation!!
lol. Yes I know. I have had people asking me to do this how-to video for over 2 years and I have resisted up till now for exactly that reason... it's a bit complicated and many will probably screw it up and smoke something and then say I told them wrong. So that's why the big disclaimer at the beginning... I can't stop them from blaming me for their mistakes, but I did warn them. lmao.
Nice vid once again! Very professional. Part 2 yet today?
Hahaha thats wild ive been using the button to turn off my esc on my slash for years now and thought unplugging the batteries wsa bad for it 😂 guess i better stop now before i push my luck
Thanks!
Plasti-Dip is apparently really good for waterproofing as well.
lol i just could imagine you doing a djmedic-overkill project with just vxl's on it. Like a waterproof beast mega-crawler
man jet haha how u been man i havent seen one of your vids for months haha this is a good one keep'em commin!!!
if u connect the yelow to the blue or white you will short your esc, only blue and white are reversable
Thanks buddy!
Thanks dude! :)
Very helpful thanks
rofl. I think I had too much mountain dew right before I started recording this video. :)
yeah back when i made my conversion i was looking at another motor option, at the time turnigy was making beast 2600kv 540 motors for like $20 each. The only drawback was that since it was such a beast & low-cost motor it was always out of stock, like the Tacons on hobbypartz.
It would be a LOT of modification.. for starters, there is no place for the second motor, and they don't sell a 2 motor motor mount for the slash so you would have to make that yourself. also there is no place for a second battery, so you would either have to run on a single batt or tape them together. But sure, almost anything is possible in RC. Go show us how! :))
Hobbywing SC8 Combo is going for $180. Waterproof and 1/8 Brushless system.
I'm happy. got it from FalconSekido.
I don't even own a rustler any more and haven't in some time! but keep on that band wagon man
This would not work well as a single VXL 3500 setup. The 3500 is not strong enough to pull around this big heavy SUMMIT frame. You would have to gear it so low that it wouldn't be any fun in order to keep it from overheating.
You're welcome! :)
I've been pretty busy at work lately. sometimes real life requires me to stop being a big kid for a while. I hate that. lol.
Thx dude!
Wtf? Pressing the button can destroy the ESC? I read the tag, but didn't know the consequences. Just got a Slash 4x4 platinum yesterday. Thanks for the heads up.
I think I might drop in a Hobbywing ESC soon, I've been spoiled with all of its programmable settings on my other RC's.
I also noticed some lag in the vxl system. When I pull the throttle the car doesn't respond until maybe half a second later. My end points and throttle trim are set up, it's not in training mode. I don't know, it's like turbo lag lol.
Either poor signal or dead batteries. Change the batteries. Mine had like 3 seconds of delay. The batteries in the controller were leaking. Good luck! TheAwesonymous
JakeWardell 19 Thanks, I will try charging both transmitter and car lipo battery.
TheAwesonymous the car battery isn't your concern. Mainly the controller.
Water will still short out your vxl esc and your lipo , the bullet plugs and your deans are exposed. The balance port on your lipo same thing . Yes water slash is ok but these cars and trucks ar not submarines. But dont take my word it try it . dunk a lipo in water see what happens.
Luis Quijada better yet did your hear that a microwave will charge your phone try that too
You're welcome. :)
This video is about a year old, but today would a Mamba Monster Waterproof system be better. What do you think?
its pretty dope
hi .... i like ur convertion..... i can make the samething but with 2 titan 775 and EVX-2 ESC???and how im plug the wire because the titan have 4 wire and the esc too ..... thx a lot for ur andwser ......
There isn't a certain number of times you can get away with it. you should NEVER turn it off with the button. period. You have been warned.
Thanks so much.
10:23...I see what you did there lol
yes please :)
Is there a Part 2 to this?
just asking so i can watch out...approx. how many times did u turn it off by clicking the button? i really need ur reply jet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so i can watch out
50th LIKE!!!
no idea. try it. :))
hey lag, I completed this project a while back using your video as a guide. turned out great. my question now is is this: I'm running a vxl6s in my stampede on 4 s but instead of using two 2s batteries , if like to implement my 4s 50c single hard pack. when I attempt to plug into either lead off esc , nothing happens. I had the Idea of using a harness with two female and 1 male in a series type harness but I'm hesitant to plug it in for fear of costly epic fail. what says you? I won't hold it against u. I need those other batteries freed up thatscwhybi purchased that 4s to begin with. thanks in advance
What I've found with my E-Maxx when turning on/off the ESC: flashing green light = BAD. if this happens, unplug the batteries immediately unless you want smoking batteries lol.
well i have done it a few times...if i start disconnecting it wud not short? or is the damage done?
You get a lot of comments so I appologise if anyone has already asked, but do you know how the Summit would run with a single VXL set up as I have tried this with some success on a 1/6 scale E-Maxx and am considering an E-Revo or Summit for my next project?
Have you ever seen a mamba monster system? Guys add them to their SUMMIT all the time. That's even more power than this system. Personally I don't enjoy twisting my axles off and breaking my T-locks that much. lol.
actually it would be cheaper to get a mamba monster lol. about $20 cheaper, plus you could run on 6s
Quien lot Ddiria
off topic question here, kinda.. is the E revo (#5603) brushed waterproof out of the box?
That is completely incorrect. The 3 wires going to the brushless motor are completely interchangable. any 2 of them reversed will just reverse the motor. Please do not give out technical information on my videos unless you actually know the correct answers.
cool .-)
Any idea if that would work for a Tamiya TXT-1?
yw
Will you be willing to try a castle creations sidewinder system with dual 3800kv motor
whats the bet people will get the wrong motor mount
Exactly why I stay away from traxxas parts. My Mamba doesn't burn up when I turn it off.
you might want to check the date on the video... 2012... 6 yrs ago. mamba did not have a waterproof esc at that time otherwise I would have used it with a single larger motor.
Hey man I'm getting my first summit Friday, Do I need to get anything special to make it brushless or will the diffs and and shafts and transmission hold up?
HEY GUYS PLEAAASSEEE HELP ME I HAVE THE MONEY FINNAALLYYY!!!((((((SHOULD I DO THIS???? ORR SHOULD I TAKE THE(PERFECTLY BROKEN IN(VXL SYSTEM OUT OF MY EREVO AND PUT IT IN THE SUMMIT??(I ONLY RUN 4S ON THE VXL SYSTEM!) WHAT ALL DO I NEED????,THANKS SO MUCH
Why would that void the warranty?
your asking alot there Jet asking the general public to be responsible for there own actions, its not the way the world is these days. Will this work with the brushed e-maxx also? thanks
Where's Part 2?!
0:30 anybody saw Dusty in there.
Just how many vxl combos do you have?
...and i have a question. Can i put Velineon with the motor in team durango dex 410?
What tires do you have on your Summit?
hey jetlag do you have any extra transmitters and recievers?
like some shitty ones or some decent ones? can i buy some off of you
?
Can it run on 1 vxl motor and esc
good thing know on A.F.C den't know that
When I made my emaxx twin vxl i hit up ebay so i only put out $200 in total for 2 systems
Is there a special gear cover for it??
will I be able to fit 2 60mm brushless motors ??
You can....now.. look at the date when he made this.
THE 1ST THING HE SAYS(IS EXACTLY WHY I DONTNDO THIS STUFF!!!!WHY I JUST BUY(WHAT I WANT LOLL) GOTTA BRAND NEW SUMMIT,,,,(ANSNI HAVE A SUPER CUSTOM NEWEST 6S EREVO (THAT WILL BUST AN 8S XMAXX)(HMU IF YOU WANT TO RACE!!!!ILL PUT A CUP 100$ BUCKS ON IT ;)
what batteries are you running I can't find any 3s that fit
oh crap ive turned my esc off with out disconnecting the battery..so thats why it has alreready smoked
Who is the top speed?
I did this to my emaxx and it kept overheating do you know why? Please help me
what gearing did you use?
lol. a few. :)
hey bud, traxxas wont replace jack, no matter what you have or havent done.
Brandon Million not true! I had an esc catch on fire while running my stampede vxl and when I mailed it to the company they replaced it. Took a few weeks but they did replace.
3rd like!
If you're making a Traxxas Summit become brushless, then you should of just gotten an E-Maxx in the 1st place instead.
I would if there was not switch just unpuge the esc bc then u r serten it's off
hey if you got extras you should give me a extra velinion esc and motor :D
Braiding the cables does nothing, the interference is so small no one would notice it.
Put a mamba monster in it
Dual motors halves the run time
:O Wtf double vxl O.o
prolinemashers 3.8
lol. That sounds like a guy with a little experience. :))
