CRASHED!! 4000KV 4s HOBBY WING INSANITY - Traxxas slash 4x4 VXL Gets Over Volted!

Guys, who wants to see 6s?

[@idankopilenko4934]

I think your doing somthing wrong my slash fully stick electronics is doing 46 kmh on 2s

[@BlAcKVeNuM911]

Get the vertical motor Mount and gear up... same combo 108on grp tires....

[@reallythough4591]

12s, to the moon Alice!

[@pug2451]

@@idankopilenko4934you geared up? Can the motor even handle it or do you burn them out often lol

[@Skilpadjie1]

As note. A cable tie over the Fan cuts the airflow by at least 10%. As thats the size of air intake your taking away, Also youve added plastics on the side of the ESC, This will jkeep heat inside on the ESC. Sides should be open.

[@low96hb]

Lower it and get belted tires if you haven't already. I'm at 68 MPH on the stock motor with the tallest gear I can fit in it. Nest step is this motor setup. I am running the Traxxas Xo-1 tires with the Traxxas 17mm adapters. It lays on the ground and hugs the road

[@RCcarpenter]

Pretty ballsy putting your phone on that thing! Put the phone on the front for more weight! Hahaha

[@MatthewSimm]

Hahaha, gotta do it for the vids 🤣

[@RCRoads]

Nice run Matthew. I'm glad your phone survived. At that speed your phone would be dust if you crashed. It's awesome you pushed it as far as you did.

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey thanks dude! Haha, yeah I have a gps now thankfully 😅

[@RCRoads]

I don't own a slash but perhaps some day I will. They are super cool rigs. @@MatthewSimm

[@joshpurser4810]

Nice speed runs with thw slash!!! The slash was my first brushless rc car back in 2012 I ended up selling it and not sticking with the hobby. I just got back in the hobby 9 months ago and now have the rustled 2wd it was brushed now running a 3650 3900kv racerstar and a 120amp surpass hobby esc and I have the jlb 21101 cheetah and just picked up the v3 arrma senton and loving the hobby!!! Thanks for sharing💯😊 I just subed to your channel today.

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey Josh! Thanks alot man 😁 Its good to see you're back in the hobby! I raced about 10 years ago, stop for a while and came back too! Couldn't be happier just bashing around! Also thanks for the sub dude! I hope to bring some more entertaining videos your way very soon! I have lots planned, I try my best to upload two times a week

[@HellzJester1]

Was in kev's comment section and found you good channel definitely subscribing

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey! Thank you! 😁

[@ModModRc]

I see youve put a few motors in you 9emu. I have a 9emu waiting to be shipped. I'll be running 100c 2s, i may buy a 3s too. What motor do you think? 3665, 3100kv or 3670 3050kv (rocket) or a surpass 3665 3500kv? Im thinking the surpass, its cheapest & has higher kv, idt i need 70mm can most seem to use3650s What pinion is included with the roller? A 3.1mm or 5mm shaft?

[@dustinplee5067]

I that about buying a 4000kv but can I use a 6s on that motor and what sped app are you using

[@MatthewSimm]

I cannot remember the app I used sorry dude it was just a random one from Google play. The motor in this video want do 6s, it's only rated for 3s, I was pushing it with 4s haha

[@ValFPV]

4s with 4000kv is already on the edge of burning it up, NO WAY 6s is gonna last!!

[@07aowen]

That’s going to be pretty fast once you keep the front end down on the road. Probably better put some foams on it 👍🏼 can’t wait to see what it can do

[@MatthewSimm]

Thanks dude! Ill be ordering some road tyres soon :)

[@peepeepoopoocheck9794]

doesnt the traxxas venelion 3s have more power My brushed motor just died and Im looking for a brushless system does the hobby wing have more power or the vxl 3s

[@MatthewSimm]

they have a similar amount of power 😁

[@alex3I4_]

my burned out on 3s battery it sucks i run a max10 on my rustler and doesn’t over heat on 3s that’s my next purchase for it stay away from the velineon

[@PFinkoloTL87]

Vxl-3s has more power. It's a 200 amp ESC. But limited to 3s max. Mine get's toasty tho. My Hobbywing max10 is a 120 amp ESC. Handles up to 4s. Using a WTF fan on it and it stays cool, like 50°C max on 3s. Good reliable and powerful ESC. I wouldn't buy it again tho. I deeply regret, but that's another story.

[@elextremo89]

Hey Matthew, do you maybe find the link to the motor used in the video? You said it is an unbranded hobbywing, but the one in the video is a branded one. Kind Regards

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey dude, that's because I cannot find the link, I believe they are called hobbyworkz

[@elextremo89]

Try a centre diff over the slipper clutch, helps put more power to the front wheels like a true AWD

Dang I couldnt even tell it was a fake slash haha!!!

Its very convincing haha, so far, the only difference i have noticed is the clutch pads, driveshafts are back to front (traxxas still fit) and that's about it

[@SinnisjInsulator]

Ooooo, you got a GoPro. Is that a hero 7? I have ine for my movies. Wow and look at those views. Great job.

[@MatthewSimm]

I want to get a slow mo camera haha, too expensive for my little channel though!

[@ManuelOrtizification]

Im running a hobbywing max10 SCT combo in my slash and it pulls 120 on 2s, 180+ on 4s, the issue you're having is lack of down force, and cheap electronics. Find an aerodynamic body, get the LCG chassis, better motor and ESC, and lower the front shocks much as you can. Basically replace the entire car. Ideally, you'd just grab an Ultimate slash 4x4, and go from there 😂

[@MatMabee]

I mean you're wrong, but okay. Some road tires and proper gearing would fix his problem as well. They're RC cars if you're spending top dollar for no reason you're doing it wrong.

[@ManuelOrtizification]

@@MatMabee better wheels doesnt stop air from picking up the front end 😂 I have a body specifically for speed runs, without it, the slash is airborne by the time it hits 100ks 😂

[@MatMabee]

@@ManuelOrtizification larger diameter tire with a harder compound will stop the wheelies. Sorry champ, wrong again.

Your phone is acting like a front wing.... it is providing LIFT. You need downforce, not lift. Like others have said, put your body on, and get rid of the front lifting wing (phone). Anyway, I enjoyed the vid. Thank you! I am sub'd now.... I came from the excitable monsieur Talbot. Good luck with your channel Matthew!! 👍

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey mate! Thank you for the advice 😁 I don't know if you watched all the way through, however, I did take the phone off and tested it again but to no avail, I'll be doing a follow up video, testing some diy methods to keep her planted firmly on the ground. Personally I have never tried speed runs, I've always raced, so I'm always up for good advice! Thanks again 😀

Well maybe not 70 for $100 as that's like the 124017 /16 or 144010 which are more than $100 but there are definitely some of those cheap Chinese banggood cars from various makes that go faster than that much more expensive Slash and that's using the very cheap lipos and USB charger they come with EDIT I've just looked it up and Traxxas say the brushed slash goes 30+ out the box so it must have been MPH when you got 33
