Traxxas Rustler XL5 Cheap Brushless Upgrade, Go Faster Update

[@bigbeardsniper3058]

Slash and rustler will always be my two averet rc cars

[@kalaikauai808]

Awesome build that thing is fast! 🔥😯 just got my first rustler and I'm in love 😍

[@briankey9819]

Dude! That’s Awesome! I put one of the GoolRc combos in a Typhon Mega. I ended up turning it into a KRATON with Big Rock tires. It will run low 30’s on 2s and low 40’s on 3s.

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

I bet that looks amazing, I'm very pleased with the performance of this system. Thanks for watching and commenting hope you have a great day.

[@MrLewisb33]

That was a great run! I've gotten 43mph out of mine on 2s with a 50 spur and 19 pinion. Anxious to try 3s to see if I can squeeze out 60

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Let us know about your 3s run, curious to see the results...

[@Dorich55]

Great video! Thanks for doing those changes and posting it! Nicely done.

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Thanks and thanks for watching and commenting hope you have a great day.

[@philthyco1]

Rips hard on 3s! Good stuff guys!

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Thanks, I believe this is the same as a Goolrc Esc and motor combo. But yeah it definitely goes for sure.

[@TheblueTraxxasRustler]

Crazy speed difference since the 2s is the similar as mine which had sport gearing, anaconda tires, and stock 12t motor

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Your right the speed difference is amazing. Thanks for watching and commenting hope you have a great day.

[@IceRhino44]

You wouldn't happen to have an exact link to the motor and esc you used, great vid!

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Here you go... ebay.us/5Xph6p

[@chodkowski01]

2S is 7.4 volts. 3S is 11.1 volts. Try a 4S 14.8 volts to see the speed on a higher volt battery.

[@catcancrunch7260]

Great fun 👍 I've just upgraded my one to a 3000kv and got 30mph instead of 22mph but in the UK it was about 1/2 degree c so very cold for the lipo,s so maybe 2/3 mph faster in warmer weather, but it does accelerate really good, but I ain't done yet iam gonna buy a cheap 4000kv and really wake up the s.o.b lol see if its as great as my vxl rustler ??? Thanks for your upload bro 👍🙏🐱

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Thanks for watching....Goodluck.

[@Artistlife4ever]

Awesome video 🔥🔥🔥

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Thanks and thanks for watching and commenting hope you have a great day.

[@gillian9178]

Nice speeds, are you still using the stock bushings on the wheel axles or upgraded to bearings. Do you prefer the Rustler XL5 with brushless upgrade or the Bandit XL5 with brushless upgrade, which of the 2 cars would you choose between them.

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

It's completely stock except for the esc combo, personally I prefer the Rustler.

[@MrTesedgar]

I need a brush less motor with 2 wire like this what do u recommend. Thanks and nice video.

[@tacky187]

Just got this esc/motor combo from your link. Did you need a ESC programming card?

[@OxyWavez21]

Very nice video! I was just wondering if you had the link to the battery connectors?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Traxxss to deans...is that what you need? If so www.ebay.com/itm/3-Male-T-plug-Deans-to-Female-Traxxas-TRX-Connector-US-STOCK-/124262859199?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

[@OxyWavez21]

@Father Family Fun yes it is! Thank you

[@allsold]

is it 3900kV kit being installed?>

[@i_luv_cars-k9i]

what kind of motor is this exactly?

[@timstenberg5603]

Very good video! But i have a question can you put the orginal gear on the new motor?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Yes, but it will be hard to keep the front wheels on the ground. 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting hope you have a great day.

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Yes, it is the same.

[@christiansrcs7789]

Dang fast I got the russler brushed for my brother he never drives i mite make it brushless

[@208RC]

Can you show how you program it? I just got this setup and the blue light on work state just flashes and can’t do anything

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

To be honest, I never programmed mine just plug a run. Make sure you have the esc plugged into the right plug in the receiver.

[@richardbrown6762]

You're going to get your daughter addicted to rc cars then it's going to get more expensive than your addiction 😂😂😂

[@PeezyProductionBuilds]

Could you comment the link where I could find a charger for the power hobby battery the 11.1v I’m about to order the battery and don’t see a charger for it anywhere

[@arturos.l.2248]

Why would you leave it stock? You can run it in the grass

[@mitchelldexter1901]

I think I am gonna do this with my traxxas slash 2wd! should I keep the same gearing in it though? I will run it on 2s. (if you didn't know the slash has same gearing/electronics as rustler but with different design.)

[@sebsswaztekerz2209]

Do you have the exact link to the motor your using? thanks again

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Here you go... ebay.us/5Xph6p

[@sebsswaztekerz2209]

@@FatherandSonHavingFun thank you very much

[@williamcabello2142]

What system do you have in there

[@v2ckxz181]

Anyone here in the comments that has had experience with the motor & ESC combo? I'm looking for an upgrade for my 2WD Rustler and want to know if that should be a viable option.

[@arcaderacer586]

Have you had any issues with delayed starts,jerks and cogging? I cant seem To get the bugs worked out of mine. Its fast when it runs right. The esc seems To be the issue for me.

[@OOMrPiche]

Is it waterproof?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

No it is not...

[@jimstone5339]

What motor and ESC did you use

[@KJ5BYT]

Do you have a link on where to buy it

[@KJ5BYT]

Are you running stock radio and do you have brand and part number

[@michaelrocha7351]

Would this would on a traxxas stampede 2wd

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Yes

[@Brandon-yj4pw]

What controller do yoy need to connect it with i wanna get it plz

[@DirtyShoelace_x]

Any cheaper batteries i can use in this? Looking to buy the combo but battery is around $100 in Canada! :( any alternatives?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Gens and Zee batteries are cheaper here, you may need to research affordable alternatives in your region.....

[@DirtyShoelace_x]

@@FatherandSonHavingFun found some cheaper alternatives, but if I got the deans to traxxas connector, could I still use a 7 cell 3000mah traxxas battery with it?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Yeah I guess, just don't know what the benefit would be.....

[@arcaderacer586]

Got one coming for my 2wd stampede. I need to get some 2s lipos. Zeee batteries seem cheap,anyone had good luck with them?

[@joefoto]

I have 4 zeee batteries. They are great. High quality.

[@ianwebb6029]

Whats the link??

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

It is in the description below.

[@xMLG420b00ty]

How would I install this? Is it hard? Is it plug and play? Thanks!

[@xMLG420b00ty]

Any wiring necessary for this? Like having to recalibrate the ESC for throttle and turning?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

There are a lot of how to videos on esc motor installs. It is plug and play, just make note of where the esc plugs into the receiver.

[@qzf809]

Hi what gearing are you using?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

23/86

[@qzf809]

Doesn't it overheat when you Bash it on 2 or 3s? With such a high gearing?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

I normally just run it on 2s , not sure if it could handle 3s constantly. But no overheating issues at all. It's geared the same as a Slash vxl so it shouldn't overheat anyways.

[@shecter81]

So what ur saying is my wltoys 144001 is gonna haul ass 🤣🤣🤣🤘🏻
