BRUSHLESS POWER!! “CHEAPEST” Traxxas Stampede 2wd

[@STORM_RCS_BG]

Finally I have been waiting for a long time my slash is going to go brushless soon

[@RCKnockout]

Nice!

[@scottfirman]

Banggood still sells a brushless setup for $43 that works awesome in the Bandit/ Stampede 2wd. You can also upgrade the transmission, but that runs $90 . I didn't care for the transmission and went back to the stock one. Brushless is the way to go with a 2wd.

[@RCKnockout]

Cool, thanks

[@1320cj]

I have this brushless system in my 2wd rustler. Runs out pretty good.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah It seems to be a good system

[@dackoson27]

Nice logo. Cant wait for a drive and a speed test on that stempede

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! Stay tuned for those videos!

Hello, I am very curious how he drives it! Can you possibly put subtitles in your videos? We love looking at you, but our English isn't that good. Greetings from Germany

[@RCKnockout]

Greetings…I would but I feel like that would be very distracting for most viewers if the channel

[@joeloalexis9030]

@Prizel Tate you can turn subtitles ‘on’ right on the screen

[@chadriddle3517]

Good video! I just got this system have not tried it yet but does look promising. Under the foam in the box it came in there is 3m double sided tape for the ESC in the on off switch and two zip ties.

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! It’s a good system….just watch your gearing…cause the high speed optional gearing seemed to strain this system quite a bit so I geared mine down to 14/83

[@prestonsrc]

I like the onyx combo. Have it in a ecx amp crush. Mine is the 3300kv. It's a wheelie machine on 3s

[@RCKnockout]

Nice man! How’s it holding up?

[@MechanicallyFun]

I used wall plugs and changed to longer screw to lift the esc tray higher so I can fit in 3s battery in there. I’m sure you will try 3s on that new brushless system👍 thanks for sharing

[@RCKnockout]

That’s a good idea….but the 3s still won’t fit under the strap though…..

[@MechanicallyFun]

@@RCKnockout I use Velcro battery strap

[@RCKnockout]

@@MechanicallyFun do they make one or did you have to cut into the chassis?

[@MechanicallyFun]

@@RCKnockout I just run Velcro strap around the battery and underneath the chassis. It does hold the battery in place

[@christiansrcs7789]

like the new logo 💯 epic upgrades hopefully it's super fast now

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks bud! Yeah it should be a ripper!

[@RcOffroad9513]

Only other cheap upgrade I would recommend is a 9Imod servo. I have 2 coreless and 1 brushless 45kg. Both are good and strong. The coreless is about $30-35 the brushless is $45ish. They are definitly durable as I have ran the cheaper coreless in my truggy for a few races testing it out. It didnt seem like enough power for the truggy, it pushed like a dump truck. However, I realized it was just the front diff had lost all its fluid. I filled it up and it turned hard again. Still yet to use the brushless, but I am already sure of there durability cause the coreless uses the same gears. Great cheap upgrade system, 4000kv should be pretty fast on 2s geared proper.

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks for the tip! Usually when I replace a servo I just buy a cheap metal geared one….I’ve got a few extra sitting around

[@kaden68]

love videos like this not many videos of the stampede around!

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! That’s true

[@THE-BZILLA]

Nice work can't wait to c how it rips. I bet its gonna wheelie all the time.

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! Yeah it’ll be a wheelie monster

[@arcaderacer586]

I added wheelie bars to both Mine and set them on the lowest setting so it just wheelies a little bit off the ground.

[@jeremybennett5547]

I though I was watching a Chris fix video when you hit your intro😂

[@RCKnockout]

It’s not the first time I heard that lol 😂

[@douglasperry1226]

It’s easier if you remove stabilizer braces to install servo saver. Just fyi I have the original Stampede two of them that I need to completely change to fm done with am! 🤘🏼✌🏼

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks for the tip! lol 😂

[@rc_sand_bashers]

I just bought that exact same combo but I’m not figuring out how to bind it but, so can you do a video showing how to make it run please?

[@RCKnockout]

You should be able to calibrate the transmitter and it should be good to go….no binding necessary….you might wanna go through the programming though….it shows how to do that in the instructions

[@brothertax]

Digging the new logo! Very cool.

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks brother!

[@valsdirtbikeadventures269]

Can you use a stock radio controller ( that you hold ) with this setup? Thanks..!

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah you can

[@jessyohlhauser1337]

I need help figuring out a charger for my RC car it's a t-60 plug-in I only get $30 to spend and I'm looking for a Amazon cheap RC charger

[@RCKnockout]

The ones I’ve used cost a bit more than that….usually $50-$80….I’m sure there is something out there in that price range that works well though

[@gavinwavy9132]

I still have my onyx 100 charger that I got when I was like 8 for my bandit lol

[@RCKnockout]

Nice! Good to hear it’s still working!

[@arcaderacer586]

There is another cheap upgrade that makes a huge difference and that is 15mm wheel hex adapters. It widens the stance just enough to help the flip overs. it really helps and its only a $10 upgrade and only takes about 15 minutes.

[@RCKnockout]

I’ve never heard of 15mm hex adapters…..I’ve heard of 14 and 17….what wheels do they go with?

[@arcaderacer586]

this should be good, I upgraded both my 2wd stampedes w cheap power systems, all cheap brushless motors seem ok,but the ultra cheap esc's are 50/50 at best. I wound up finding hobbywing esc's on aliexpress for around $30 50A &60A and they handle 3s batteries and work well. I assume this esc from Horizon Hobbies should also work well. it very well could be a hobbywing oem esc like the ones they make for redcat.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah hopefully it’ll hold up well! 🤞

[@nickmizell1141]

Hi, how’s the Onyx brushless combo system holding up on your stampede so far? Any problems or issues? Thanks

[@RCKnockout]

No it’s been holding up pretty good….it does seem to get a little hot on 3s and the battery doesn’t seem to last super long….but aside from that no issues

[@cheesecake9336]

About a put this same moter and esc in my stampede 4x4 😎

[@RCKnockout]

Nice! Should work well!

[@jessyohlhauser1337]

My RC shop salesman is Traxxas store airport hobby shop in Minot North Dakota would charge me $78 for a charger for a battery charger to sell venom battery is what I'm working with I am kind of new to that never worked with one at all so the first thing I think of is the swamped electronics to Traxxas only which that would be a lot more money which I do not having

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah the Venom stuff is pretty good…a lot of the batteries I have experienced seem to work as well as, if not better than the Traxxas batteries at a cheaper price too

[@SuperKozykozy]

Hi I am planning similar conversion with 4000kv. Would it have more speed and performance with stock gearing?

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah it’ll definitely give you better performance than the stock brushed system

[@moereefer]

Are kidding this was and kind-of the one of the top 5 electronics for R/C before Spectrum, and HW started to really take over. They where in everything R/C before. I would say it was around 2013- 2016 around

So, Nolan, are you feeling tempted by the new Traxxas XRT? 🙂

[@RCKnockout]

Nope….I don’t like rc cars with wings or spoilers ….that’s why I don’t like my EXB

[@BulldogB101]

Can you program the ESC??

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah! There’s a few things you can change in the Esc

[@cheesecake9336]
