How fast do you think the Arrma Big Rock can go with just a pinion change on 2s?
It went 34-36 mph with a decent LIPO when stock. I swapped out the stock 15t pinion for a 26t pinion for the start of my speedrun series on the Big Rock. I can't do 3s on the stock tires as they are not happy past 45 mph.
I hope to run it tomorrow!
I was editing a picture of the Bandit with a AI photo editor - first time using this. Which one looks the coolest?
I tried a 4s 110+ speed run this past weekend but I was having traction issues and I couldn't get a clean run. I wanted to let my subs know I gave it an effort but I think I am going to need to try a rear wing for more rear traction before I try it again.
I think I will try to beak 100 mph in the Velineon and XTeam 3660 motor next and that will give me more time to dial the car in with a rear wing.... and then I will revisit trying to hit 110@maximilianopinohincapie4089
Here is a video I made just for my subs if you are interested in showing my attempts!
While I am going to do a Big Rock video and a Ultima Pro video in the near future, what would you rather see me do with the Bandit next video.
I am not playing around anymore!!!
SMC makes the fastest 3s LIPO I own 6500 mAh 150c) and a huge thankyou for them sending out what almost certainly will be the fastest 2s I own!
It is their 2s 8000 mAh 250c drag and speedrun pack!
How much above 80 mph can it go? Stay tuned and find out!
If you want the fastest LIPOs out there while still not breaking the bank, you cannot go wrong with SMC!
So I am considering getting another RC car for the channel in a couple of months.
I want to get something that doesn't break that bank, is 4WD, is durable, can fit larger 2s and 3s LIPOs (something with a battery tray at least as big as the Bandit), and that has potential to be really freaking fast. While not a must, something that is kind of unique would be a bonus.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Announcing my newest channel partnership - I’m excited I’ll now be working with Hobby King!
My first test will 2 of their Turnigy LIPOs! One 2s and one 3s 6,000 mAh LIPO!
Video coming in a couple of days!!!
As you know, my budget friendly 120A ZTW Beast V2 ESC has been working flawlessly in my HBX 2997A and in my Traxxas Bandit - I have been testing it HARD!
Great news - I am extremely excited as ZTW informed me they are going to be sending me a new ESC for my channel!!! It is the ZTW Beast Pro G2 - a 2s-6s 150A ESC with telemetry!!! www.ztwoem.com/product/15-beast-pro-sl-200a/
This should bring my LIPO testing and speed runs to an entirely new level and I should be able to make tons of awesome content with the data I get using this ESC. I cannot wait guys!
The Bandit has gone as fast a 98.7 mph on 3s but it is a challenge as I need more transmitter range and well, it is a Bandit. This issue is only going to be more of a challenge the faster the car goes. That being said, I am going for a 4s run soon!
How fast do you think the Bandit will be on its next outing running 4s? I have two 4s Liperior LIPOs I was sent for testing/running and I cannot wait to try them out.
