Emphasis on "pretty much". I have done the full conversion of my Rustler XL-5 to a VXL and there are quite a few more differences than what this video shows. The VXL model includes thick 4mm turnbuckles for the camber links and toe links, a fiberglass tie bar for the front bulkhead, ball bearings in the hubs and steering bellcranks (vs the XL-5's bushings), a stronger servo, a TQi radio system (vs the XL-5's TQ system) and hex hardware (vs the XL-5's philips hardware). These aren't even all the differences but when you add up all the costs, plus the original cost of a Rustler XL-5, you end up spending more money than if you just buy the VXL to begin with.

Why are we recommended not to use upgraded gearing for off road use? Will it cause other damage, apart from overheating?
@markoftheus
@markoftheus 2 жыл бұрын
Overheating is pretty much the main issue. Although the speed controller does have thermal shut down protection, it does not protect the motor. Higher gearing is also more taxing on your battery, so keep an eye on your battery temp as well when gearing up.

Yes, the motor will fit but you also have to transfer the ESC. You might also have to change the gearing since the Rustler uses bigger tires.

My traxxas rustler was my first hobby grade rc and still is my favorite i run fhe same esc and moter but different battary and every time i take it out some shing breaks latest was i bent the shock and the drive shaft pops out every 10minutes If anyone can tell me why it keeps breaking please help me because i have only used it for 40hours and i have had the upgrades for a year now
@markoftheus
@markoftheus 3 жыл бұрын
I also had issues with my shock shafts bending and there's a fairly easy fix for it. Not a whole lot of people know this but, Traxxas sells hardened titanium nitride coated shafts as an upgrade for ultra shocks. I installed them in my Rustler ultra shocks and I never had a bent shock shaft ever again. Part numbers: 1664T for the front shock shafts and 2656T for the rear shock shafts Regarding driveshafts, make sure your slipper clutch and suspension are set up appropriately for where you drive. A slipper clutch that is set too stiff will not be able to properly absorb a sudden shock in the driveline and that can cause your driveshafts to pop. Also suspension with too much downtravel causes the driveshafts to sit at really steep angles, making the joints more prone to failure.

@thegamingcashew4304
@thegamingcashew4304 4 жыл бұрын
Derek Silva it takes more power to turn the wheels. Basically it has bad acceleration but good top speed. If your going off-road or bumpy, it will not have enough torque to get up hills, and if you floor it to get up hills, you will really damage the motor. Using the stock gearing gives it great acceleration and torque but bad top speed (around 30 mph)

Is an ez peak required to charge a 11 volt Lipo battery. If so, what other chargers can charge an 11 volt LiPo Battery.
@markoftheus
@markoftheus 3 жыл бұрын
It depends on the battery. If it's a Traxxas LiPo battery, then yes you do need traxxas LiPo chargers. However, if it's from a different brand, you can use any LiPo battery charger as long as it's capable of charging the number of cells your LiPo battery has. (2s LiPo=7.4 volts, 3s LiPo=11.1 volts).

Is it possible to upgrade a rustler XL-5 with a 28-Tooth and a 48P 83 tooth, with a velineon VXL-3M controller and a 380 motor. Il still use my NiMH battery+ charger. Is this possible??
@markoftheus
@markoftheus 3 жыл бұрын
I would not recommend that setup because the velineon 380 motor is much smaller than the the velineon 3500 (which is a 540 size) and does not produce the torque needed for the weight of a Rustler. The vileneon 380 system is better optimized for smaller vehicles like 1/16th and 1/18th scale.

Better off putting a Castle creation 💯%
@markoftheus
@markoftheus 4 ай бұрын
One thing to consider is that depending on what castle system you put in, you may notice your steering feels slower and weaker. What I found is that their lower end ESC's (i.e. sidewinder 3/4) only have a 5 volt output from their BEC compared to 6 volts of the Traxxas ESC's. Their higher end ESC's have better BEC's, some even adjustable. I'm not trying to knock castle, but it's just something to look out for

That combo may not fit because as you increase the size of the spur gear, the motor has to sit further back on its mounting plate and there's only so much room to slide it back without modifying the mounting plate or transmission case
