TRAXXAS STAMPEDE 2wd - PROLINE BADLAND MX28’s // FIRST TEST !!

[@ScrewHeadJuNgle]

Got a jeep, got a dog, got a RC. You doing alright.🙂

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah I’d say so lol

[@christiansrcs7789]

EPIC!!! brushed motors get HOT with heavy wheels and huge gearing! can't wait to see what happens next i would recommend a arrma kraton 4s v1 motor it's 100$ a bit expensive but it's well worth it barley gets hot at all!!!! any esc will do! a hobby wing would be the best for the job! love the look of your truck!

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! I might try out a cheap power system first and see how that works out

[@christiansrcs7789]

@@RCKnockout yeah do that!!!!!!!

[@brothertax]

Those Badlands look so good on the Stampede. EDIT just watched the end holy smokes!

[@RCKnockout]

Agreed!

[@johngantner9314]

really enjoying these videos. Reminding me of getting back in the Hobby back in 2015. Interested to see what motor ya go with. Have fun!

[@RCKnockout]

Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@RCRoads]

The Stampede is Awesome. I cant believe how well it floated over such rough terrain. Great job... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! Yeah so far I’m impressed by it!

[@Lorenz_C]

These tires are definitely better than the stock talon tires, I think you should get a castle sidewinder 3 or 4 motor and esc combo

[@RCKnockout]

For sure! Probably gonna try a cheap system to begin with….see if that holds up

[@STORM_CUBER_BG]

I took my traxxas slash to the mountains and I bashed it really hard the only damage was a bent shock shaft

[@RCKnockout]

That’s not bad at all…..it’s definitely a durable truck

[@STORM_CUBER_BG]

@@RCKnockout yeah the vid is on my rc channel and I'm going to make my slash into a Baja slash my rc channel is called (Brody's RC World)

[@STORM_CUBER_BG]

And the was 2wd

[@RCKnockout]

@@STORM_CUBER_BG nice! If I find some time I’ll try to check it out 👍😉

[@bapasrcadventures3619]

Since the series is the cheap stampede, I think a cheap brushless system is in order. Like $40.00 off Amazon?

[@RCKnockout]

That might not be a bad idea…..maybe I will try out a cheap brushless system first

[@michaelwhitworth1427]

…awesome! what gear mods have been done ?

[@RCKnockout]

Just the high speed pinion installed

[@dstjamesrc6395]

Love the location and super impressed by the performance of the brushed 2wd Stampede, while it lasted 😅

[@RCKnockout]

Exactly…..while it lasted lol 😂

[@gainsrc]

When you upgrade the motor make sure you add weight to the front end. It will make the truck a lot more stable and over all more controllable. As far as the motor goes try one of the 5900kv brushless amazon deals. There like 50.00 and come with an esc. Make sure to go back to stock gears though.

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks for the tip! I don’t think I’ve ever run a motor with that high of KV…..I’d probably have to gear it even lower than the stock gearing

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Cool RC and run, bummer the motor burned up, time to upgrade

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah it was bound to happen though

[@arcaderacer586]

Love the tires. Im looking for a set very similar that are 12mm hex so they will just fit. Im combing through aliexpress for a set now.

[@RCKnockout]

Me too! Best of luck finding something similar

[@713Ace529]

Yeah bigger tires look great but is more stress to the motor. Even if you add a vxl you’ve limited with 2S. Bashing it hard with a 3S batt will make it hot and/ or start stripping plastic spur gear, breaking parts. Me personally, I would just enjoy it as it is maybe better bearing and steering links. Good learning video though.

[@RCKnockout]

Glad you liked it! The power is decent with the brushed system and the high speed gearing but burning up motors is gonna be a constant…..I definitely think going brushless will be a good move to make

[@ggcoolkid1135]

try to put a 3s or 4s in it

[@RCKnockout]

3s should be adequate

[@Mr_Macintosh420]

Not a hill climbing machine, proceeds to climb hills!! 😂

[@RCKnockout]

Not a good hill climbing machine….all the weights in the back lol

[@Mr_Macintosh420]

@@RCKnockout lol ya that makes it a bit harder! Was a good video bruh

[@RCKnockout]

@@Mr_Macintosh420 thanks bro!

[@sandycraven]

Would of never guessed that those larger than should be tires and high speed gear would burn up the brushed motor , LOL

[@RCKnockout]

I know, right? Lol 😂

[@twowheelingnut7898]

Big grippy tires + tall gear = blown motor - bummer man. It’s the reason I am still running the stock gears in my brushed rustler with Stampede 4x4 tires and stampede gearing. I run it 100% off road it gets hot enough as is. I like those tires though.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah the gearing combined with the tires was just too much for the motor

[@FLPatrick1095]

Drop the Arrma Spectrum 3s system off Jennysrc - $90 TOTAL for the motor and ESC.

[@RCKnockout]

I’ve had bad luck with Spektrum…..but maybe I’ll look into it

[@FLPatrick1095]

@@RCKnockout The BLX100 esc (big rock, granite, senton) might be your way to go than :)

[@FLPatrick1095]

oh and it bolts right into place where the stock esc is i'm very sure.

[@RCKnockout]

@@FLPatrick1095 that definitely sounds convenient….I might have to look into it

[@dackoson27]

We need a dog tour

[@RCKnockout]

I just have one dog….wouldn’t be much of a tour lol

[@DockterRC]

Surpass hobby ha s 5400kv system for $100 you will be doing 40 with the low speed gearing.

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks for the recommendation! Maybe I will try a cheap system in it first…..what connector does that have? Or does it have one at all?

[@DockterRC]

Deans, it says 2s or 3s capable, but the speed controller that it comes with I have run 8s thu it so far.

[@RCKnockout]

@@DockterRC yeah deans connectors I really don’t like

[@DockterRC]

That is why I'm trying a world record first using deans connectors on my 4s rustler 2wd to 140mph. It's so overpowered I don't think it will be a problem. Best of luck on your project.

[@RCKnockout]

@@DockterRC I’ve had back luck with deans melting…..they’re really not very good for much power or heat

[@pmatrisotto]

🤣🤣 smoked

[@RCKnockout]

Yep

[@mikejohnson-vl6nv]

Go with a good BRUSHED motor. The traxxes motors are junk. Everyone dose brushless.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah but the issue with brushed motors is they just don’t hold up long term…..that’s why going brushless makes the most sense

[@mikejohnson-vl6nv]

Yes and no. Brushed sealed can motors where u can't change the brushes burn up. You can't really tune them. However brushed motor with turnable end bell, replaceable brushes, replaceable armature are a different story. I have lots of vintage rc motors with 100s of battery's on them and there still good after 35 plus years.

[@mikejohnson-vl6nv]

Try a 36 degree stock brushed motor. It will be a turqe monter

[@RCKnockout]

@@mikejohnson-vl6nv that’s surprising….didn’t know that…..I just know from my experience with most rtr stock brushed motors….they don’t last long at all

[@RCKnockout]

@@mikejohnson-vl6nv thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to look into it
