I smoked my trans on my Brushless traxxas slash 2wd almost immediately, ended up using the whole trans out of my Stampede brushed, and she's taken a beating since then! I'm planning on outfitting it with an upgraded aluminum case full aftermarket trans and all the aluminum I can find and definitely that factory steering servo, the steering is sloppy as fk! And I already replaced mostly everything! But it's crazy fast! Super fun, she's the one that got me back into RCs. Also found out the hard way that they're not as "Waterproof" as they claimed! But when I first bought my Stampede, I called traxxas and they actually completely for free with no problem replaced the brushed motor, speed control and chassis, without question, I have to call them on the Brushless speed control, and cracked chassis, I bet they'll replace it? Not that I'm cheap, just broke and currently about to buy a house, not an RC house, 😅 An actual real one 😅 but anyhow, great video, very informative and I subbed you 👍 thanks brother 👍

I definitely suggest the 272R transmission from traxxas man it’s a direct full time and it’s freaking awesome! You can tune your differential without taking the whole casing apart. Yeah, those factories got to be one of the worst bro!

Maybe so if I just broke one bit I replaced it over a dozen times while adjusting the slipper, I went ahead and got the upgraded one out of the traxxas drag a slash and I was fine

I totally agree about getting better gears on the trans except for a steel spur gear. A plastic spur gear will save your motor from being damaged if there happens to be a rock getting stuck in the mesh. A $8 spur is a lot cheaper then a new motor

Hey man thanks for the comment! I run hot racing all the way around 90mm in the real 105mm in the front only reason they are different lengths is because my hobby shop gave me the wrong pair one day, but they still worked and since I haven’t broken another one, I haven’t changed them

In my opinion do what I did when I first got my slash and run it exactly how it comes out of the box until you find a weak part and something breaks, then replace that weak part with an upgrade for that part, if you upgrade it slowly when something breaks you will end up learning the car even better and you will always have money for something if it breaks, if you buy it and then spend all your extra money on wheels and tires per say then your out for the rest of the day when you break something and can’t get it fixed because you just bought that new body or something idk I hope that made sense, upgrade as you break and you will have a blast man! Don’t feel like you have to do everything right out of the gate

@@itzzgraham ok thank you for the advice because I was literally planning on buying a car and upgrading almost all the parts but now that you said upgrade as it breaks and makes more sense so I have extra money to spend on some other things that I might want money such as a new body tires, etc. and whenever something breaks I’ll always still have money to buy that broken part but when I buy that broken part upgraded it

Good job and all good upgrades! Regarding HR steel pinion & spur gears, since you're breaking teeth you might consider their 32p gears as they are much larger with more surface to spread all that power.

On 32p spur gear what are the pros and cons for that ratio?
@lesdmess845
@lesdmess845 Жыл бұрын
@@gamercat7004 The biggest pro is bigger teeth means more surface to spread the power. Also, adjusting the mesh is much easier. The con is you have to do a little math to get Traxxas published gear ratios such as found in the Slash VXL manual page 24. For instance to get 60+ mph on 3S Traxxas recommends a spur/pinion of 76/31=2.45 ratio. The closest to this ratio using Hot Racing is 50/20=2.5. This the ratio I am now running in my Monster Slash and I am getting very similar performance per Traxxas but using different esc and motor.

No it’s just an ESC fan, they do make motor fans but I haven’t had a problem, I always keep a temp gun in my bag and whenever it gets close to 200 degrees I just let it cool off a bit before doing some more running, these VXL motors are bullet proof

@@highclass7491 where do you live? Here in vegas we get pretty hot and it’s a must buy you can get away without a motor fan if your carful like me, if your bad days during the summer are above 110 then yes I do suggest it for the long run, but honestly man get a temp gun for 10 bucks off Amazon and just keep a watch out on your motor esc and servo temps, if they are under 180ish after a hard bash you should be golden man but just check every once in a while if you think your overdoing it motors and esc’s are expensive, temp guns aren’t 😎 get that fan if you think it’s needed after getting a temp gun man remember 180ish is the sweet spot, start getting any hotter and you can have some problems, that’s why I never push it over 200 degrees
