[@cm6gaming259]

I thought it was gonna blow up on that mailbox.... The slowmo made me think that you were prepping us for the crash. THANK YOU for not crashing.

[@GReviewz]

haha, yeah i almost ran right into the mailbox... it handles differently with the gopro ontop.

[@cgrf45]

Great video. Short and straight to the point. No bs. Great job dude.

[@tiffinhappy9744]

Great video. Straight to the point and not a bunch of babbling about nothing like a few people do. Got mine yesterday and got to three cell 5800 batteries. Plenty fast enough!

[@thecarter7025]

Man that HUD is soooo rad. Ty for posting. Prooooooooo

[@N3m3sls]

Great comparison and thank you so much for a short straight to the point video! You deserve to make money off of this upload! This is what youtube use to be like!

[@GReviewz]

Skrill, thank you so much for your comment. I appreciciate it!!

[@paperclihp3588]

Don’t know if you’ll see this but, thanks! I am ordering the slash vxl with a 3s Lipo tomorrow😁😁 I am so exited!

[@GReviewz]

Enjoy!!! You'll thank me later haha.

[@sts899]

lol luckyyyyy

[@kingkota2302]

Hell yeah

[@calebjarrard3517]

Your gonna have a blast with that! I got the rustler vxl last weekend with a 3s lipo and it's sketchy fast. I want someone to post a video with the 20 tooth pinion on 3s lipo. Might get a 70+ run

[@ThoricAuthority]

Are there any disadvantages running the 17T with the 3C Lipo??? Im really new to this and I just bought the Rustler 4x4 Ultimate. I dont want to fry any gears or anything so could I run that set up without having to worry about anything. I'll mainly be using it at the sand dunes in Oklahoma.

[@jeffrenman4146]

I really favored your video it was just really interesting the way you made this… Well yeah scary three cell 17 tooth pinion. I'm a scaredy-cat I'll probably stay forever on 2 cell batteries… I think for longevity it's probably safer. I still have the 17 tooth and reaching 40 mph yikes I think that's as fast as I'll ever want to go. What's your favorite battery do you stay three cell all the time?

[@GReviewz]

Yes 3 cell all of the time haha. It was fun making the video, but yeah, it goes really fast with the top end gearing and 3 cell lipo

[@Jord100002]

Hi, did you also install the Traxxas Stability Management system in this Rustler 4x4 that you upgraded with the Velineon motor and the 3s ESC module?

[@GReviewz]

No I did not. You dont need it honestly.

[@nelsonmarques1334]

Does it track better without the giant camera on the roof? Thinking in buying one for my kid.

[@GReviewz]

Buying the rustler? Or the gopro? Haha both are highly recommended. Yes, the truck does perform better without the big heavy gopro hero 7 black on the roof. Well worth it! I would say skip the brushed version. He will get bored of it quickly. Get the brushless, start with nimh battery, then upgrade to 2 cell then 3 cell lipos. Huge performance gains between the different batteries. Hope this helps!

[@yzrider00]

Beautiful comparison!

Glad you liked it!

Hi I was just wondering if you did any upgrades on the car

[@GReviewz]

Nope, just the brushless electronics, but have since upgraded the driveshafts

[@paulbloch945]

Good driving skills

[@GReviewz]

Nope, stock brushless electronics.

[@seanmoran1638]

Wait where u seeing in the RC‘s perspective as you were driving it?

[@GReviewz]

No, but technically you can as toy csn control your go pro with your phone. I was not though as there is a bit of delay and the truck is going to fast to risk watching the screen and not the truck in real life

[@martijnvanspaendonck7989]

I saw that you also had the Brushed XL-5 system installed. Do you by any chance tested what the speed of that setup was?

[@GReviewz]

I never specifically tested the brushed setup with the gopro.. but I would guesstimate about 25mph with the 2cell lipo and the 17t pinion

bonne vidéo 😂 quel pignon de différentiel avez vous? "good video, have you the original differential of the rustler brushed (pinion gear 12 and ring gear47) by what see th speed it looks like the diferentiel of brushless(pinion gear 13 and ring gear37)"

Hi there! I have the 17T pinion and the 54T spur gear :)

[@fireblade6495]

@@GReviewz ok so you didn’t change the differential? you just change the Driveshaft center

[@GReviewz]

Correct, I have never changed the differentials. I have not touched them yet

[@ryanfriesner7501]

What camera are you using to get the speed and gs

[@GReviewz]

Gopro hero 7 black. I have another video on how to put them in your videos. Eith the gopro "quik" app.

[@lukethedoggy]

What app did you use to show the speed

[@panthersfreak02]

I have a Rustler XL-5 2wd that I'm going brushless with but still going to use nimh batteries. Should I expect comparable speeds? I'm also going to get a 9.6v battery too

[@GReviewz]

I wouldnt spend the money to go brushless unless you use lipo batteries. Nimh dont have enough power.

[@panthersfreak02]

@@GReviewz thank you for the response. I'm probably going lipo in the future, I just have serious concerns about lipo batteries. I have heard quite a few horror stories about them catching on fire and things like that

[@GReviewz]

Yeah, I agree, but as long as you use a good charger, the traxxas esc's have fail safes built in so that they don't discharge them too much.

[@j.w.presents9552]

Great video man!

[@rcgaming726]

So is it stock.

[@GReviewz]

Stock vxl with included 17T pinion gear on 3s. Yes

[@JBK-w5u]

Was the 1st run straight out of the box. Battery’s everything stock?

[@GReviewz]

Blake, in the video i tell you specifically what setup I'm running in each run. I put in new driveshafts but that wont affect top speed.

Is it stock?

Yes it is stock.

[@trenthollifield6969]

Excellent video

[@GReviewz]

Trent, thank you very much! Do you have a rustler or a traxxas model? please consider subscribing to the channel.

[@rchobbyer]

I have the rustler 4x4 but converted to VXL-3S but is running only 30mph on 11/54 and 3S LiPo. Do you know why ? ESC is calibrated and mode 1 sport mode, thanks

[@GReviewz]

That pinion isnt big enough. Try a 17T pinion. That will get you up to about 60mph

[@izaihapopple1294]

I have a 2wd rustler I swapped it to brushless a d the fastest I got it to was 56 I don't try to make it go fast I had my messing around gears in but you had 17t in you could go do much faster

[@kevinsinclair8285]

3 cell lipo in a Rustler?

[@tylerdouglas4654]

Do you have stock pinion and spur gears in these runs or no

[@GReviewz]

At the end of the video it shows you what the speed was and what pinion gear I used.. the spur gear remained constant.

[@arsh.d.savage9766]

Were these 32p gears?

[@GReviewz]

Yes, you got it

[@arsh.d.savage9766]

@@GReviewz just ordered me a 34t pinion with a 54 spur on 3s git a prediction on the speed?

[@jadenmoffat5586]

For the 65mph you need the 20t gearing sold Separately

[@delayfundz]

What is that

[@ryankietzmann3299]

Is this tr he vxl or non vxl If it is the non vxl is it stock

[@GReviewz]

Brushless is vxl. So this is vxl

[@09superdude]

What kind of telemetry are you using?

[@GReviewz]

Jamarkis, thanks for watching, please consider subscribing! I am using the on board telemetry on my gopro hero 7. When you import the footage to GoPro "Quik" video editor it gives you the option to put in a speedometer and G-force meter. Do you have a rustler? Or just curious about the telemetry?

[@09superdude]

I own a rulster upgraded like yours but instead of the 3s system I put in a 6s system 😅 just need the highest pinion gear I can put in there for the 1/10th scale

[@GReviewz]

@@09superdude Jamarkis, i cannot imagine the power with 6s, honestly the 3s is nuts standing backflips and approx 60mph with the 17t pinion gear.

[@09superdude]

I just talked to some people on the Traxxas forms and they said 22 is the highest pinion gear I can put on a stock spur gear so I'm going to try that out and if my results are good I'll stick to it if it's not what I want I'll probably have to upgrade the spur gear and pinion gear all together right now I'm just trying to find a way to fit two batteries on that small tray lol

[@GReviewz]

that would have been my next question as to where you are putting the batteries. Also, for the money you are putting into the rustler, couldnt you have just bought an erevo brushless and kind of had the same results?

[@ioannisvellini5339]

stock how fast is?

[@GReviewz]

With the stock spur and pinion, on 3s it still goes around 45mph

[@d-nice2866]

Did it over heat on 17t?

[@GReviewz]

Nope, but then again I have thr little esc fan.

[@alexanderhernandez9093]

What spur gear did you have!?!?!?!?

Not really where is the lie it states on the box that 60mph with the optional pinion gear (17 tooth) 3s traxxas battery 5000mah+ he didn't used big enough battery also not traxxas high voltage battery. You odn't conut in the weight of the gps module plus the huge ass camera on top plus how it affects the airflow..... it's jsut physics which your teachers failed to teach you.

[@RicardoHernandez-fm7vf]

Where can i buy the batteries from?

Ricardo, you can purchase from your local hobby shop, traxxas.com, or amazon.

[@alexbulgarelli3299]

In questo video vengono usate batterie Li-Po a 3 celle su una macchina con motore a spazzola, non è consigliabile in quanto la macchina va con batterie al massimo a 2 celle e quelle originali al Ni-Mh sono da 8,4V....Non montate batterie a 3 celle (11.1V) su motori a spazzola TITAN.

[@thegamingcashew4304]

7:20 that was really close lol, that would have destroyed the whole right side of the car if you had hit it

[@GReviewz]

Haha, yes you are correct. The camera on top really affects the handling. Do you have an rc? Traxxas?

[@thegamingcashew4304]

@GReviewz I have a Traxxas rustler stock, I was just using it outside and the motor / gears exploded. Idk what happened. When I press the trigger the motor makes a loud humming noise, but the wheels don’t move. I’m guessing the plastic gear got shredded from too much use, or I kept flooring it so hard the gear gave way. Now the only to fix it is take apart the WHOLE rear motor area to find out what’s inside that broke. I hope it’s just a cheap gear and not the entire motor, I dont want to spend a lot of money on fixing it. Maybe by any chance you might know what’s broke 😅 When I try to turn the wheels manually the gear/motor make a loud grinding scraping sound.

[@GReviewz]

Gaming cashew it is most likely your spur gear. Thst is the plastic large gesr that your motor spins. The one on the motor is called the pinion gear and that is metal. You most likely grinded your spur gesr if you motor wasn't tightened down well enough. Part number is 3956 54tooth 32 pitch spur gear.

[@thegamingcashew4304]

GReviewz oh thank you do much! I opened the black covering and the black gear is shredded in on eaide, so the gear tooth’s got crushed or something, but I think I can fix it.

[@GReviewz]

Yup the black plastic gear would be the spur gear I mentioned.

[@shawarma3066]

This is the brushed model

..... please listen to what I'm saying in the video.. I installed the vxl kit after I purchased the brushed model.. plus.. the brushed only goes about 30mph... I clocked 57... definetly not brushed.
