How to Go Faster | Traxxas Speed Upgrades

Step up the speed and performance of your Slash, Stampede, Rustler, Bandit, or other Traxxas model with a few simple upgrades. Changing the power system, gearing, and battery type can allow for dramatic increases in top speed and run time.

Still needs steel pinion, and I also think traxxas does a great job helping new drivers, also removing the speed control, those plugs help a lot, my esc on my t5m and b5m are soldered right on to the motors, great job traxxas👍

Love how you used a 2pole at the start, and installing a 4pole

When I tested the 1410 1Y 3'800-kv motor against the 2-pole vxl motor the 3'800-kv was 3mph faster running the same gearing. Running 300rpm more per kv is going to give you that extra bit of speed! And then then you should factor in the longer can on the 1Y motor, I'm pretty sure if you tested both motors. The 1410 1Y is going to have a little bit more torque than the vxl motor. Then again the 1Y motor is not a RTR production motor! And yeah its a little frustrating not being able to tune the Velineon esc!! And the Velineon vxl system does feel like it's a little over priced!!! When you compare it to the Castle Creations SCT SV-3 ESC 1410 1Y 3'800-kv system. Putting the 1Y motor with the Velineon esc turns it into a radical

dang traxxas is amazing i wish i could have a all wheel drive car though mine is a bandit with a brushless motor and speed control

[Charles-nusi]

Already did this to my bandit. Do not do it to the bandit. It’s a ton of fun, but it literally destroys itself, unless you have a stronger body, tires, and suspension, it’ll kill it. Make sure you get a wheelie bar for the bandit as well

[Absolutecorn]

Ah yes, the velineon is the godfather for brushless. All hail Velineon!

[goalie]

Being new to the roc hobby these videos are absolutely great!!

[BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT]

Out of the 17 Velineon vxl systems I've owned, I have only had one die! Because it didn't enter thermal shutdown!!!
Knowing that the Velineon vxl system can push the Rusty up past 80+MPH is totally awesome for a rtr power system!!! ;)

You might as well just buy it pre brushless it seems cheaper and then get the gears

[imnottellinudontwannaknow]

Thanks for the video! This will be useful for when I make my ford raptor act like a real raptor 😏

[brandonfolk]

Wana know how I went faster? Threw out the vxl junk out and got a castle sidewinder motor and esc combo.. now she runs

[apocalypse]

Hello Traxxas Support. The input shaft on my Rustler has snapped in half (idk how). Please make a video on replacing the input shaft in a Rustler.

[amilcarrodasreyes]

I did this and it makes it really fast

[adamltz]

can i have a velineon 3500 motor on my e revo 1/16?

[SwervingLemon]

My buddy just bought a brand new brushless slash model and the motor is making grinding noises after only two days. He's not been abusive yet it died way before my old brushed slash.
I assume this isn't typical?
Anyway, HobbyTown told him he's SOL.
Is this the sort of worry I should have if I upgrade my Slash?

[jinkubs]

I have a bandit with a Velineon kit and I use a 5000mah lipo without doing any mods to the battery area

[onca]

Kinda wish I knew about ARRMA before I bought a traxxas, traxxas does make good you need to waste 2 times more of what your rc cost on upgrades to make it decent

[australianrcstadiumtrucks]

I run the castle creations sidewinder sct, with the 1410 series 3800kv moter from castle. I generally run this setup with a 2 - 3 cell LIPO battery
