Need for Speed
Is there anyway to make my rustler go any faster without any major upgrades?.........Thanks.

RE: Need for Speed
Tuned pipe, gearing, engine. Try the traxxas tuned pipe. That adds some pretty good power. Do you want faster top speed or faster low end?

RE: Need for Speed
is it electric or nitro? what motor? what fuel/battery? we need more info on what you have to help you.
if it doesnt already have ballbearings, that will help if you put them on. you may be able to use different gearing than whats on the vehicle. there may be ways to lower the weight. a downhill slope always works well:D |
RE: Need for Speed
It is an electric Rustler XL-5 w/ a Trinity 12T speedgems Extreme motor and I have two 6-cells and one 7-cell battery.

RE: Need for Speed
do you know how fast the sidewinder 5700kv goes with a 3s LiPo?
|
RE: Need for Speed
1st, how can you have a xl-5 rusty with a 12t motor? did you use a different esc? cause the xl5 esc can only handle down to 15turns.
2nd, the sidwinder with 3s would be very fast. but really, all the RTR brushless motors will blow your mind on 3s. even the hottest brushed motors dont compare. you can multiply the #KV by the # of volts.....5700kv X 11.1=63270. so, with no load on the motor it will spin at 63270 RPMs. |
