Traxxas TRX-4 Velineon Brushless Motor Upgrade | VXL-3s ESC | TRX4 K5 Blazer

[@jayrhyme1979]

This may have been the best RC instructional video I’ve ever watched. Very thorough and gets right to the point. I was on the fence about updating my burned-out ESC to VXL, along with a motor upgrade, and this made it look very easy. Nicely done!

Glad it was helpful!

This is a fun upgrade to the TRX-4 Blazer, gives more power and torque! Let me know if you have any questions regarding this upgrade.

[@crazymark3556]

did you chage the steering servo. Or stay with the 2750x

[@RoseBaby]

Very cool upgrade!! Can’t wait to see what else you do to it. Great job!! 👍🏻

[@TheFixTech]

Thank you.

Do you have an OF?

This channel is cool as hell, I love rc and gaming

[@Shadows-RC]

For brushless power in a crawler, get a sensored system. Sensored motor and sensored ESC. I put a Castle MMX ESC and a Holmes Hobbies Puller Pro sensored motor in my TRX-4. Much more power capacity. Also, it performs way better at slow speed than a Traxxas velinion could ever dream of doing.

[@ezraredgwell]

The trx4 isn't meant to be a crawler though. It's a trail truck

[@avetispetrosyan7363]

Excellent instructions

[@rctarded3834]

I'm thinking about putting motor and esc out of a losi 22s f100 into my high trail f150 it's a 6500 k spectrum motor and esc. Idk what happened to the stock electronics after the first time I ran this expensive to me rc truck though a flooded cut down it stopped working.water was only over the hood But it hasn't worked since.do you think it would work,?

[@TheFixTech]

It should work but will you will have to use the Losi remote. That motor is built for speed with a low torque rating. It will get you going again. Check the battery on the traxxas as it may have shorted, the rest should be fine.

Hi, just done this, when i plugged it in, green light came straight on. now reverse is forward and forward is reverse? also what holes do i use for a 11 tooth?

[@ryand4786]

Cool , but how is the slow speed driving ?

[@TheFixTech]

Very accurate, you can set the braking level either through the remote or on the esc itself as it has a few custom configurations. I kept the 10t pinion gear from the long arm lift kit and it keeps the top speed down while providing excellent torque.

[@ryand4786]

@@TheFixTech I didn’t realize the velineon had that much tunabilty. Your rig looks like it just came out of the box, very nice 👍

[@325RC]

Lol no it doesn’t. They are horrible for slow speed and very little torque. 😂

[@rctarded3834]

How many kv is the motor you put in

[@TheFixTech]

3500kv

[@ballard6620]

Is this the 3500 ? Was looking at the same setup for my k10 high trail.

[@willnorth3199]

how fast does it now go?

[@joesant1943]

How so many people love Traxxas cheap plastic is the question i always ask myself.

[@curtis_savageyt6062]

i think its because they like how it flexs and bends but idk

[@valiant7357]

Just buy the hobbywing fusion pro. Much better system.

[@zanderflander7880]

Why do guys use power drills on these little tiny screws? Makes no sense 😂

Saves a lot of time
