I would run a geared up 3s2p configuration before a gearded down 4s1p. Any other Motor/ESC upgrade ideas with Traxxas, Castle or Losi? In addition, I'll purchase 2- 3S 1350mAh 25C for longer run times.Ħ. Since I have 1- 3S 1050mAh 30C, I'll purchase another to make a high discharge/low weight pair. You may need to shave 1-2mm from the top or bottom of the compartment to get it to fit.Ĥ. How about gaining only 32g with a 5C discharge increase over MaxAmps? Then it would be the Rhino 1350mAh 3S 25C for $17.55 each. You'll get less run time since the combination is only 2100mAh rather than 3100. It's short and lighter by 27g than the MaxAmps. If you wanted a higher discharge rate with less weight you could go with the Rhino 1050mAh 3S 30C. The only negative is that you gain 60g of weight over the MaxAmps solution. Costs $15.95 has dimensions of 89mm x 32mm x 20mm. So your 22mm height is only for 90mm of the length! The Hobb圜ity answer to the MaxAmps is the Rhino 1550mAh 3S 20C Lipo. The battery compartment is about 104mmL x 35mmW x 23mmH BUT there is a 7mm taper on both sides to 16mm. Even if you bought just the lipos separately their $65 each!ģ. One left side and one right side custom wired to fit the E-Revo VXL battery compartment." So you get 2- 1550mAh 3S 20C Lipos & charger & 30min runtime for $299!. This is for 1 pair of our 1550 11.1V lipo packs. The ultimate upgrade for your new 1/16 E-Revo VXL if you're looking to go 60+ mph. Is there a 4S solution from TRAXXAS, CASTLE OR LOSI for this vehicle? Two of those FlightMax 2200's running in series would rip. The Stock Traxxas 6cell NiMH battery gives good torque and acceleration BUT DOES NOT DO THROTTLE WHEELIES! I think you will need TWO NiMH in series or one or two 3S Lipos in parallel.ġ. I will be surprised if I get less than stellar performance.Ĥ. I don't know what 3S lipo will fit in that compartment. Additionally, I think the Traxxas VXL-3m & 380 Velineon BL Motor can only handle upto a 3S Lipo rather than 4S. To correct some things I said in the first post: The extra pinion Traxxas supplied for the 12cell NiMH/Lipo setup is probably SMALLER since it has fewer teeth (23T vs 28T)- Thanks redfisher1974. Thanks Cobra26 for the battery suggestion (Hobb圜ity FlightMax 2S 2200) with dimensions of 100mm X 34mm x 17mm. Good find.Ģ. I thank everyone for their interest and input. Suggestions or comment will be greatly appreciated Any steel, AL or titantium parts available for this thing? I will surely put a Futaba 3PM 2.4 receiver with transmitter on this thing. Is anyone using 2-servos instead of one! Stock one-servo seems fine. Has anyone converted to 2S or 4S Lipo? What size/brand Lipo fits? My 1/8th Revo went to 6S as soon as Castle MM/Steve Neu partnered. I need your help! What's out there for this thing. In MY OPINION surpasses Mini-LST2 or RC18. I can only get 100ft in either direction on my block. Watch the range on the AM Transmitter- this is not 2.4GHz. Since you have a stock AM transmitter, not much to adjust (just 50/50 vs 70/30 power distribution and throttle and brake trim). Very small turning radius and climbs anything 6cell NiMH is NOT enough for THROTTLE wheelies (you could probably cheat with reverse) Simple as charge battery, install in truck, install 8 AA's in transmitter (not included), turn on transmitter and press the ESC power button. A Serial battery connector was NOT included but is an available option. (they stress that using the stock pinion in a high power environment will burn-out the motor). Comes with an extra larger pinion FOR THE power of 2- 6cell NiMH or 2- 2S Lipos. The Blue Traxxas VXL BL Motor is mounted to an AL finned motor mount There are two opposing battery compartments and they supply ONE Traxxas Power Cell 1200Mah NiMH battery with Charger! Although there is a spot for 2 Steering servos, you ONLY get ONE. The receiver and ESC are on reversed sides Unfortunately you get a standard 27Mhz AM 2CH Transmitter. The vehicle is about 1/2 the size in all dimensions to its BIG BROTHER! Comes with decals and a few extra small body clips. Looks identical to the BIG BROTHER on the outside EXCEPT for the noticible red plastic NON-adjustable turnbuckles. Nearly a 1/3 the size box of a 1/8th E-Revo. If you have questions fire away!, if you have mods.Do tell! Received my backordered Towerhobbies 1/16th E-Revo VXL yesterday afternoon.
