TiM! Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Rustler VXL? http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...mp;ItemID=28631 Edited April 8, 2009 by TiM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indie Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 It's good but it's not right it's the Badit VXL that's the fastest Leccy outta the box Linky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwik-kid Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) depends how much you have, but the vxl systems arnt 70mph out of the box.... you need to get a 8000mah 11.1v battery or something to go those speeds, and besides, the bandit vxl is faster than the rusty by 5mph acording to traxxus. touring cars arnt designd for high speed, but a good combo would be xray t2 2009, novak brushless esc, 2.5t motor from speed passion (i think) and a flightpower EON 4550mah lipo. in my speed calculation (i have many, trust me) it was estimated at over 100mph... anyway, hope that helps edit, indie beat me to it Edited April 8, 2009 by kwik-kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revorocks Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Ohh come on, 2 mph off isn't bad The Traxxas speed calculations are generally the absolute max of what the model can do. Achieving that sort of speed isn't easy. Knowing Traxxas, It would of been stock, but with a perfectly flat road, just right temperatures, and an amazing battery, and even then it only just touches 70MPH. A stock Revo 3.3 will do 45mph+, in reality that's 46mph after a massive run up, running 33% fuel. Edited April 8, 2009 by revorocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neu 1521 would be more appropriate. Plus, a stock touring car chassis isn't long enough for warp speed style runs, you really need to make a longer one, and put new belts on it. A Traxxas one would be far easier if you want RTR. Kwik kid you should join www.rc-isc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwik kid you should join www.rc-isc.com long story short im already a speed racwer and iv already designd that car i mentioned, done about 3-4 spreadsheet calculators taking into acount friction, drag, thrust, top speed and gearing. it came out at 130mph with that combo on 2 cell, but it will realistcly only got 85% of that speed, so 100mph...i was going to build it but i couldnt get sponsorship and as im poor, had to be canceled, along with around 5 other ideas... anyway, isc is the american speed people, and we where under one name, but they broke up over rule agreements etc etc (yawn) basicly there are two of us now, the isc, and ROSSA. im rossa as im in england....

Wrcallar Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I really like that Bandit! Anything else in the same league thats a buggy? Are parts easy to come by? Would a ezrun system see that going faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrcallar Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I can't find the Bandits in stock anywhere...!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwik-kid Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 the bandit xl-5 will see an improvment from an ezrun, the vxl system there will be decreased performance the vxl is a great brushless system and theres no need to replace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrcallar Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 What ezrun system is equivelant to the vxl one? and the flux? Whats the best battery for the vxl for about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwik-kid Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 the only ezrun systems that will either come close or might even beat vxl is the 3t system on ebay, or 2t. but they are more around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrcallar Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 whoop u know of any brushless buggies other than the speed t that are RTR? I'm tempted to ezrun a slash lol but it would just be simpler to get a rustler (bandits r out of stock ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrcallar Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) Chargers: I have an Ansmann AC30 fast charger. In the picture it is charging a 1.3Ah 6 cell. I have a 3650 NI-MH Profitexx 6 cell stick, and also a Tamiya 1400, will it charge both in the 30 mins fast charge time? Or will i have to fast charge the 3650 twice? Basically do fast charger charge a constant rate or the highest rate it can to fill the batt over 30 mins? And will the 3650 6 cell run a rustler?

kwik-kid Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 there are the assosiated 1/10th buggys and i think losi do a few, check modelsport and scroll through the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 And will the 3650 6 cell run a rustler? Yes, but you will only get about 35mph out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
