Ep. 284: ARRMA Limitless Walkthrough... (Finally)

[@RC-CARS-WORLD]

Awesome, those cars are realy fast..amazing :)

[@RCPhysics]

Yes they are! They are a great platform that seems to be pretty easy to get them to keep straight and remain stable at speed.

Pro tip : you can watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies recently.

[@trippkhalid1331]

@Javier Cristiano Yea, been watching on flixzone} for months myself =)

[@daltonadriel3597]

@Javier Cristiano Yup, I have been using Flixzone} for years myself =)

sickkkkkkkkk!!

[@RCPhysics]

Thanks!

I drilled a hole in my upper a arm for a traxxas hex to go through to access my droop screws

[@RCPhysics]

Which model did you do that for? Just curious.

[@onemansvideos2134]

@@RCPhysics my infraction/limitless ...I like using the traxxas hex for adjusting the droop cause they super long

[@RCPhysics]

Cool! Thanks for the info.

Xlx2 needs cap pac or no ?

[@RCPhysics]

That really depends on the health of your batteries, the quality of your wiring/connectors, and the overall current loads your system is pulling. The XLX2 has a large amount of on-board capacitance, but adding a good cap pack almost always improves ripple voltage, which makes your setup safer. If you are building an extreme setup, I'd plan on running a cap pack just to protect the ESC as much as possible. If you are on the fence about whether you want to run a cap pack, Here's a little experiment you can do to test your system. Ripple voltage is usually worst at ~50% throttle, so try performing some part throttle test passes with light gearing and inspect your logs to see how your ripple voltage looks. Then check your logs after each gearing (speed) increase to make sure your ripple voltage stays in a safe range.

Me too bro I'm have started with Traxxas in this hobby and came to the conclusion in my experience that the Slash 4x4 is most reliable. I have a Typhon V4 6S and it is tough. Better build quality in my opinion.

[@RCPhysics]

I still love my Traxxas cars, but arrma vehicles are built really really strong. They pretty much have to be because they waste so much. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. The fact that they weigh so much means you also need more powerful systems in order to run them. A slash with a 3S power system is a pretty capable rig but you need to be running 4S or 6s to get somewhere performance out of an ARRMA.
