Unfortunately, not for this one. It doesn’t really need it, but it would be nice to have the option.

Yup, haven’t had any issues yet. Got them in April and they still charge and discharge nicely. They are budget cells, so they probably won’t last quite as long as something from GensAce, but they’re good for the money.

Correct, it’s Traxxas’ version of the Arrma Granite.

What part of this video was “copying Kev”? He doesn’t even have an Infraction 3S for one.

Watch on mute then

Make your own video then. Spectator.

The motor stays well within the safe zone for temperature. With the Tekin fan I installed in this video, the ESC also stays within the safe zone. You should be able to discharge a full pack without needing to stop to let the electronics cool down. Of course, that depends on many different factors, such as driving style, the surface you’re driving on, and the outdoor temperature.

They do. None of the motors in the combo can, but it can run their 4268 (1/8 scale) motors so long as they are 2600kv or less. You can also get a motor from an Arrma Outcast/Kraton 4S or the Traxxas 540XL. Both those motors are 4S-capable, long-can 2400kv motors that should be within the ESC’s capabilities

If you’re talking about the motor whining, then there’s not any way to stop it. That’s what electric motors do when there’s not much throttle applied.

I haven’t quit. I’ve just been away from home for the past week and haven’t been able to finish and upload videos. I’ll get back to uploading soon

It should automatically connect. The instructions say to turn the drone on first, so if you’re turning the controller on first, that could be your problem.

You definitely should. It’s an awesome system for the price, although if you don’t want to replace the stock pinion, make sure the motor you get is one of the 3655 motors instead of the 3660. The 3655 has the same size shaft as the Velineon 3500 but the 3660 has a 5mm shaft (2mm wider than stock)

⁠@@FalconfireRC can you add a link of what 5mm shaft is needed. Thanks

@@TheDOOKIEonYOU The shaft isn’t what I’m talking about. It’s already a part of the motor. But, depending on what motor you get, you may have to get a different pinion. Which motor are you looking at getting?

@@FalconfireRC what pinion and spur gear did you use

Here’s the process to get it in the air: 1. After removing it from the case and extending the arms, you have to press and hold the power button until all the lights on the battery turn on. It will beep after you remove your finger from the power button. 2. Turn on the controller. 3. Connect your phone to the drone’s WiFi and open the app. In the upper left corner, it should tell you the status. It might want you to calibrate the gyro or compass, or might need to find a GPS connection. There are instructions for how to calibrate it in the manual. (If you don’t have the app, check if the lights are blinking. If they are, run through the calibrations. The blinking means it isn’t ready to fly). 4. When it says “ready to fly” or the lights go solid, pull the triggers down and inwards. That will start the propellers. Then, all you have to do is push the left trigger up to lift off. If it still doesn’t work, reply to this comment again and I’ll try to help you through it.

Can you be helpful please?

@Ihaveaskillll I am trying to be helpful

Special?

They’re not permanent. We actually built this one to be portable. I have a larger one that’s very big but is equipped with wheels and was built to fit in the back of my car for easy transportation. The ramp in the video was designed to fit inside the larger one so that we can transport them both easily

I’ve done nothing but treat this battery well since I got it. Trust me, it’s not something I did. I had another one (the same model) which was practically brand new (less than a month old) when it started to do it. It’s not me, it’s the flawed design.

​@@FalconfireRC the messed up wraping on the battery tells me you didn't treated this battery well.

The wrapping is perfectly fine. The “damage” you see there is the very outer covering, which got scraped up by rocks being thrown into the chassis and getting stuck underneath it. It’s nothing more than surface scuffing. This battery has never been ejected from the car, has never come dislodged from the battery tray, has always been secured tightly when in the truck, and has been storage charged when sitting for more than a few days. I did not mistreat the battery. I would not be claiming it was a problem with the battery if I had done anything that could cause this sort of problem.

@@FalconfireRC There's a lot more there than "Some light scuffing". You've also split the heatshrink on the connector end in addition to that. If you smash up the battery on the end that the tabs are, yeah it's going to stop connecting. And this is suppose to be the one that Traxxas has already replaced? That aside, why wouldn't you flip the truck over and dump the sea of gravel out of your battery tray?

First of all, there is no heat shrink on the connector. Not sure what you’re talking about there. Second, the front of the battery is not smashed up. I’ve always run it with foam blocks guarding it on all sides to prevent that sort of thing from happening. Third, we have Traxxas 2S batteries that have had their front ends smashed in and they work perfectly fine, so if that’s the problem, why don’t they stop charging??? Fourth, I do get rid of the small rocks-after the battery is dead, although I fail to see what that has to do with the battery’s ability to charge.

Move the joysticks down and inwards. That should start the propellers. If it doesn’t, connect it to the app and it should tell you what the status is, and why it won’t take off. Sometimes it requires you to calibrate the compass & gyro, or connect to satellites before it’ll take off.

There’ll be a new video on this truck coming soon, so keep an eye out for that

In this video, the BL-2S truck has 21/90 and the VXL truck has 19/90. Now both trucks have 21/90 gearing. We plan to re-make this video soon for a more even/accurate comparison.

The BL-2S truck has TSM. The VXL truck doesn’t. We plan on redoing this comparison once my brother gets TSM for the VXL truck, and I get new rear tires for the BL-2S truck

We’re aware of that. However, these bodies are already wrecked from my brother and I when we first got them and there’s no saving them.

Do you have a job? It only took me a few months after getting a job to save up for my Traxxas Hoss.

What?

@@FalconfireRC a new steering servo

I didn’t seem your other comment before I said that.

And its fits perfect

Btw keep making video's they are good

Absolutely. My brother is planning to get it for his VXL Bigfoot and then we’re going to remake this video with both truck on level ground in terms of control. The BL-2S truck would be just as uncontrollable if not for TSM

I have a bigfoot I ordered the vxl the magnum transmission and the tsm module with remote for it yesterday hoping I can keep it in one piece

You won’t regret getting the TSM. It’s great. I was honestly surprised at how well it works.

@@FalconfireRC thanks that’s exactly what I needed to hear

The truck is 2 1/2 years old and the shocks have never been serviced so that makes sense.

I’ve never done that, but I’ve heard of it happening which is why I decided to buy the aluminum one. It’ll also help dissipate heat a little better, which will help the fluid last longer

​@@FalconfireRC 6780 or 6780a idk

Because I got him the clipless conversion kit for Christmas, but his Slash’s original body was too destroyed for it, so he got this one, which was cheaper for him anyway.

The only differences are the body and the tires. The body on the Bigfoot is licensed and also weaker because of its boxy design (it tends to crack around the cab and corners of the front and back). It is also double the cost of the Stampede’s body to replace ($80 vs $40). In my opinion, the Talon tires of the ordinary Stampede are better than the Bigfoot’s, at least on grass and loose surfaces because they hook up better and have foam inserts. Unless you really like the body design of the Bigfoot, I would get the Stampede. Hope this helps

thanks! i was confused on which to buy because i like the body of the big foot but i was wondering if it was worth the extra 30 bucks@@FalconfireRC

I will once the weather warms up. Right now, it’s too cold and there’s too much snow on the ground to do a proper review. I have done a review on the Bigfoot/Stampede 2WD on Demngoes RC, a channel I co-own with a few of my friends. Here’s the link to that review if you’re interested, though that video is a bit dated now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poLLiWqLaLuXa8Usi=_xA82C7tyyc4pDUn
