Traxxas Blast Brushless Swap-Initial Testing

Got a great deal on a Traxxas Blast boat hull, one which I have never owned before, and decided to do a brushless swap with a system I already had laying around to make a small, cheap and fun stunt boat.
Boat is all stock except for upgraded Tactic Radio, Nitro Vee turn fin (dremeled down to be shorter), and of course the brushless system, a 10th scale Tazer4000kv 4 pole motor with a 45amp ESC, capable of 2-3s. Planning to get an Octura Prop for it at some point but that will be about all. Should run low-mid 30s once its dialed in. Lil flip at the end.
5200mah 50c 3s Lipo
Dynamite GPS onboard (26mph this run)

What I have on my blast is pretty much custom besides the hull and seals but others I have spartan prop/shaft an onyx 3s motor and esc and a custom steering plate I will post a update if you guy are interested

[@motortoys9942]

Sure I'll check it out! What's ur Max speed so far?

[@nomusicrc]

This would give the Spartan a run for its money

[@motortoys9942]

Ehhhh not really gets real unstable at around 30mph. Now THIS, blows the Spartan out of the water 😅😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqOWn3uNgdSgm8U

What’s your heat numbers looking like with that 4500? I run a 3s brushed system with half the output at only 20c and melt motors left and right.

[@motortoys9942]

Well this hull isn't very stable most of the time it's 2s use u can't really run it hard enough to get hot lol

[@zacharyburkett7829]

How do you keep the plastic u joint on the rear from braking? I keep braking mine.

[@motortoys9942]

Lol I don't. It breaks. Got rid of this thing a long time ago 😂

[@zacharyburkett7829]

@@motortoys9942 I should too

What prop should I get I hate the plastic one so what prop and where can I get it ?

[@motortoys9942]

To be honest this isn't the boat to try to build bro. I got rid of this a long time ago.

[@tedschmitt178]

So you swapped in a brushless system but then you also say it’s not a boat to try to build?

[@lifebleeds86]

Sounds like you have too much weight in the front to me.

[@motortoys9942]

I agree it is a little front-heavy. I think it's because of the 3s lipo. Working with the trim to hopefully correct some of that 👍

[@lifebleeds86]

@@motortoys9942 yeah its been too long since I messed with them so I don't remember much of the stuff I did to get mine working better. I think I added weights to the rear end. And set the battery as far back as I coud. However I only had a 2S Lipo.

[@motortoys9942]

@@lifebleeds86 yessir. May do a lil weight, it already sits low so not sure on that one. Runs pretty good on 2s. Reality is, this boat is WAY overpowered and really is just a fun stunt boat. I am going to do a prop change on it which will wake it up a lil as well.

[@lifebleeds86]

I do remember adding too much weight to the boat made it sit really low and made the turning real sluggish though. That was back when I was using NiMH batteries though and they weigh a tonne comparred to a LiPo.

[@motortoys9942]

@@lifebleeds86 oh yes those weigh a ton. Most of it is testing and tune. Always fun to see differences. Thanks for checking out my channel if you like what you see drop a sub 👍
