Hay Mark, to get an accurate speed using radar, have the car travel as straight as possible towards the radar gun and don't be too far off to the side. Also, don't "pan" the radar gun as the car is passing. That's hollywood stuff. The car and radar should be parallel as much as possible, and equally high off the ground. Any angle introduces cosine error and will artificially lower the speed displayed when compared to actual.
Get u a rc GPS off Amazon they r cheap and way more accurate. With GPS you can also set to record top speed and make multiple runs before checking speed.
Hey man! I’ve watched this video at least 20x’s. Thank you!!! I decided to do the same to my GV…traxxas Velineon brushless, 25t pinion, granite 4x4 servo and a 6500, 80c 2s lipo. I reamed the motor compartment to accommodate the Velineon motor…and I panned out the chassis by cutting out the top to expand battery selection. SCARY fast…on just 2s!! I love this thing!! Seems very balanced and smooth for a entry level MT. Thanks again for the inspiration buddy! Happy Easter to you and yours. Be well. ✌️
My 5700 Castle brushless setup has lasted a while bashing on my Granite Voltage, were taking it racing this weekend indoors so well see how it does there too. Were only on 2S though.
WOW. Great thing was FLYING! That looks like a serious motor! I have only had the XMAXX come with a velinion motor, and it broke on the first run, sooooooooo. Not too experienced with it. Love the pants! 😂
Sounds about right, i did 54mph on a full charge 3s which i had to mount my battery outside on top where you mounted the esc, had to use rubber band to tie my vxl3s esc on top of the battery. I recommend buying extra Differential Outdrive for it, mine keeps on stripping because it's only plastic
#AR310432 is part #,a 7mm x18mm metal drive cup with grub screw,plastic one just pops off, install new metal cup and tighten grub screw on flat part of shaft.
I bet you it actually faster than 50 mph because I have a Bushnell radar gun like that and there's a lot of forms about that the radar gun and it is off it's slower than what it shows, if you google the radar gun about accuracy you will see. Great video brother!
I plan on doing this upgrade myself. But man i think im gonna add some weights to the front. Putting a xl5 with a titan 12 turn is awe inspiring though.
You should get a gps speedometer from banggood it would probably be a littlw more accurate, or personally i just tape my phone to my car with a spedometer app lol
That thing is definitely one another level with the 3s vxl in it ! I wanted to say Thanks for all the Hard Work and Endless Hours that you, Melissa and the boys have given to give Great content considering what type of year 2020 was and i can’t wait to see what you have guys have planned for 2021. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year !! 🙏👊👍
Mark it doesn't look like you moved conversion pin from NiMh to LiPo that tells the stock system to switch over to the new power type. I suspect that has something to do with the non-change in speed across the batteries.
Dude I totally messed my voltage up going brushless.😕. don't have any help with conversion.had to replace it with another one.also got my gorgon up with two s lipo batteries.love it! Vegas Paul out.
Make a granite great give it Traxxas electronics, bro for the money you can't go wrong...very cool test...throw some others upgrades on it and will be a sweet truck..
You should try something like this to an ecx amp, the ecx amp cars are super durable and i got mine up to 65mph on 3s and bash the hell out of it. I'm surprised with the speed of that granite 2wd!
It's not the larger the 3S battery it's the "C" rating of the 3S battery. You will get A LOT more speed out of say, a 75 C discharge rated 3S, than a 35 C discharge rated battery. You just have to make sure your ESC can handle the amps.
Got then senton, well 2 I converted one to brushless they're insane fast. I still need to convert my other but let's say I had to buy a new set of tires for the 3s one broke the input shaft so watch them they sell metal upgrades 17 and 13t which I would suggest if you plan to bash lol I love your vids man! I got all arrma cause that's what the shop pushed on me I'm not disappointed at all would love to try some traxxas sometime maybe my next buy!
I had two for my kids. I'm surprised the plastic diff cups held! The biggest problem with that truck. Now we have outcast 4s upgrades!!!, Granite v3 brushless dromada 1/18 mt and two losi baja rey 1/10.
I did that a few years ago and the trans kept blowing out and them plastic cups so i made metal ones then the shaft coming out for the cups kept breaking but it was real fun. Lol
I am not an expert or anything, but to my knowledge, a bigger battery normally will not change the top speed of the RC car at all. In fact, normally it might slow it down because of the added weight, but I don't think that is the case here because that 3s battery was probably having to go over its maximum discharge rating. I don't think you're supposed to run a battery as small as that 3s while using that brushless system because, although it Is rated to 25C, that means it can discharge at 25 times the battery’s capacity. For example, a 5000 mAh 50C battery will have the same discharge rating as a 2500 mAh 100C. So, those speed-runs may have damaged it because that 3s may not have had a high enough discharge rate. I may be wrong though, everything I said here though this is just what I have heard.
Nice content. I was thinking of getting a 3s but wasn’t sure which one? I was thinking a granite or big rock.. Anyone have a suggestion on what to get or opinions on those 2 rcs?
Nevermind I pushed play again and you said you made it haha where did you get the black Traxxas part tho from an old battery? I’ve tried looking for them and no luck
That neighborhood tho...jeez louise. 💯

Sketchy is when all the best stuff happens! That's moving pretty good for a 2wd monster truck.
It’s cool that now your doing some experimental things that is cool and I think gives other rc owners more options.

That's why I love this hobby...soon as I buy I wanna do power ups!
40mph on 2s going slightly downhill sounds about right for the velineon setup. I got 43mph on 2s with a 4000kv motor and 25tooth pinion.
My 8 year old loves that car. I bought her one last year for xmas
This might be my first Arrma

You always amazing me with the stuff you do wish one day I will too
Wow crazy fast with the brushless setup.
I am excited to see what new cars will come out in 2021... Thank you for helping us through the year!
I love your content mark I watch them when ever I’m not driving my rc truck or riding bikes
Does anyone make a wheelie bar for this truck... or found one that works? Great video guys!
Just ordered a set of snow skis for my voltage. Can't wait to play...

Way fun! Thanks for showing us what can be done with this cheap car! Hope it doesn't kill it!

That's the original 2pole vxl3s combo. The new 4pole esc has caps showing and the motor wires aren't silicone and don't say Traxxas on them .
Does arrma have a wheel bar for that truck or is there any website that have wheel bars for the truck
Happy new year Mark! Keep up the good work and all the best for 2021! Stay healthy and safe.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing . Just placed my order for this setup.
$59 for that truck is the best deal of 2020!
Not as good as last years black friday deal an xl yeti rtr for $249 and free shipping also from tower.I was fortunate enough to snag both.
It's like you put an LS motor into a Mustang.
If you want cheap and fast try some of the Chinese combos gool etc
How is it holding up with the stock gearing, that thing is fast 💨
Make a granite great give it Traxxas electronics, bro for the money you can't go wrong...very cool test...throw some others upgrades on it and will be a sweet truck..

Did you end up stripping the drive cups or anything?
I messed up. I saw $60 price tag and didn’t buy. Kewl video!
That was a bit of fun.
I got the mail thank you so much
Great build.
Yes I enjoy it!👍 I love stuff like this. Great Job👍
Got 45mph with mine using a 2s with 25t pinion, before losing control and hitting a car 🤣... snapped both arms and steering linkage
Really suprised the drive cup lasted as ling as they did.mine went out after about yen cycles got steel now
Fun video! Technically aren't you speeding in your neighborhood? 🤣
Happy New Year’s buddy 👍
Arrma granite.. great for 7yr olds!!
Great for snapping a 7yr old in half at full throttle on 3s
Does anyone know of a wheelie bar for this vehicle? Did the same thing on mine (does a estimated 60mph) and it's hard to keep down😂
From 6:13 you can see several hot air balloons spying on him! OMG WTF LOL
Thinking of getting back in the hobby. Do I go Hoss or Rustler VXL? Keep bringing these great vids!
Love the videos you make
Awesome video! Thanks ! What’s the KV of your brushless motor? Did any gears strip on 3s?!
I just got an Arrma Typhon 3s, waiting for the battery to arrive
Looks like it needs a wheelie bar now!
I want to do this now to my Voltage
my guess was 45mph...job well done!

he added a different pinion gear 25t lol
so yeah it changes the top speed drastically

Built Arrma tough with Traxxas stuff, lol
Wow I’m running 5200 mah 3s brushless do hopefully mines runs the same or faster
did this mod stay good or did it break the whole car on 3s?
I made mine a hole new make over and im trying to find out how i can make a cheap wheelie bars like long screws
Mark. Which servo you used?
did that 1400mah battery survive without puffing?
Yessss
Where is that nitro rustler I think it was at.
Almost at 48k subs
Hey mark I wanna switch my 2wd slash 48 pitch gears to 32 pitch what do u recommend it's brushed
Awesome sauce!
What brand is that radar gun and how much do they go for?
Big power Difference Between 2S and 3S I was surprised at the difference For the lack of difference Lipo And The Nickel
They're not far off on voltage.
Nice video👍👍😎😎
Happy New year erom the netherlands
I love it.
4:12 Uh oh, don't give Traxxas any ideas... lol
why is that arrma so fast tf
Kinda want to get one of my own now😂
Hey bro where did you get that Traxxas battery connector adapter did you make it?
Nevermind I pushed play again and you said you made it haha where did you get the black Traxxas part tho from an old battery? I’ve tried looking for them and no luck
Darn I'm hella late today. Apologies, but I was babysitting my nephew.
Thinking of buying one of theses dose anyone know if any brushless motor will fit strate in thanks
I was 3 minutes late :( so close but so far...
Nice🔥👍
Kicking myself for not buying myself one when I bought one for my nephew smh lol
What 3s battery fits in there?
Is it on takealot
Integy makes a metal trans kit but its 99
6:42 theres a hot air balloon!
👍👍👍
Arma granite great for everybody...
My friend has an grantie 2wd and i have been convincing him to convert it to brushless but he says that it may blow his diff. How possible is that?
It happened to my friend
@@christiansrcs7789 is it hard to repair because i think you need to basically take the hole thing appart?
@@franekzh diffs seem like they are pretty medium to replace as long a you know how to take everything else apart
Looks about right for a Traxxas crap servo haha
Do early people get responded to
Maybe ;)
Nice
