Nice buy and nice run. What camera are you using

[@lesdmess845]

Thanks!
I used my Samsung Ultra phone and I use the Gopro 7 for the in car video with GPS speed readings.

Hi, I'm new to this hobby, I'm torn between the bl-2s or the vxl, which do you think is better? Can they be modified so that both run faster?

[@lesdmess845]

Absolutely! Both are likely the most upgradeable RC systems you can buy. The only limitation is your time and money. The VXL adds many upgrades over the BL-2S so if the price difference isn't much, I would suggest getting that.

Great buy for sure

[@lesdmess845]

I just saw another Ultimate posted for sale too . . . 😉

[@shortcoursercracing4284]

geez idk what’s worse to buy a bl2s and upgrade it or get a ultimate and put the bl2s HD kit in both seem way to expensive

[@lesdmess845]

The BL-2S extreme heavy duty drive would've been great if it fit the older Slash but it does not. The BL-2S ESC & motor is perfect replacement for the older brushed system.

250 is nice for the ultimate
