New guy to crawling here
 

Hi all, Kinda new to the crawling scene. I'm used to going fast. I'm not to sure about electronics. I have everything from my Traxxas Stampede VXL. I bought a Axial ARTR. Is the vxl to much for the Axial. I know I don't have 30 posts yet. But if anybody can help me out. Mabye sell the Stampede and buy diffrent electronics? What should I do? I couldn't find the classifides?

Ebay... or buy a star!!!

a good setup
 

if u want to bash it might b fun till u blow the tranny isnt the vxl a 70 mph brushless stampede id sell it and get the castle creation sidewinder esc 75$,castle creations bec20$, a 45t-65t motor 20$-55$, and a high torque servo 300 in/lbs of torque at least 130$ all prices are aproximate but u wont regret it also a three cell lipo n charger if u got the cash

My ad tryed putting his vxl system in his crawler and exploded his front diff and ripped off his front C simultaneously... so prolly not a good idea.:-P

Yeah I had the stampede up to 82 mph. flat ground and clocked by my police friend. very hard to control at that speed. so I take it as NOT the thing to do. ill look into the electronics you had mentioned. So.... anybody want to buy a stampede? lol. Thanks for all your help so far.

Welcome to the addictions bro! Hope you enjoy it and those are the elec's and servo that i would go with! Also post up sum picks of ur ARTR

x2 And READ the rules there are a few that are important. Most are basic respect but read and learn them. And search search and search again but not faster than every 30 seconds lol

Im running a hitec 645mg servo, hpi 45 turn motor, traxxas tq3 transmitter and receiver and the [imo] pos rtr esc. the esc will be upgraded when I can afford it.
Why not keep the stampede, as much as I enjoy my crawler every now and then I just want to go wild so out comes the revo and off to the bmx track I go.

what vxl motor is with that I might be willing to do some trading with ya

got a few fxr and some 35-55t motors

send me a PM

Thanks guys. I dont believe i can search that fast anyway.(typing sucks) Anyway i have the stampede up for sale on ebay. If it dosent sell i'd be willing to do some trading. I'd need a controler, reciever,esc,motor, just so i can make the axial run. I'm excited. i really didnt know there were this many peoples into this. Are lipo's the way to go? Are they expensive? thats kinda new technology for me. lol. I'm used to the old blackfoot days with the hex dog bones that stripped out. Am I dating myself? LOL. thanks again."thumbsup"

Oh yea by the way I can't post any pictures. A- not sure how. B- I believe I need 30 posts first. C- Yeah cant think of anything for this one.

You aren't dating yourself. There are alot of old farts here. Heck I was running RC10's when they first came out. Remember the Optima Mid? about 84 or 85 I think. Lipo's are the way to go. Runtimes of 45 min to an hour not uncommon, better than those 4 minute heats and mains I used to run in the old on/offroad days. Use photobucket for posting pics, then everyone can see them, logged on or not.

well i would put the novak 55t and the rooster esc if you want to have a good drag brake and alot of torque then you can gear it down to get it slower..

i'll trade you my stock ax-10 rtr electronics for the vxl system;-)
heck i'll even throw in a novak 55 and hitec 645 ultra torque

:shock: :shock: :shock: i want that servo

impretty sure you mean 300oz/ in

Lol those VXL's are pretty wicked, my bro has it in his Rustler.

yeah the first time i drove it i almost craped. I havent driven anything since the origional blackfoot. hit the throttle and it just stood up and left in a hurry. the tires fan out when cornering the wheel spin is so great. they look like pizza cutters. i know why they include the wheelie bar as manditory equipment. its sick. so I've heard not to good to instal in the Axial though. lol. that is unless i want parts everywhere. I might airbrush the body of the axial and put some vinyl graphics on it. I have all that stuff. Its my other hobby. I read here that brake fluid works for paint removal? any truth to that?:idea:

help
 

Whats the purpose of turning the tranny around? And how about the setscrews on the yokes. i cannot budge the ones on the yokes

make sure you have a good quality allen wrench(i use the losi ones) and you should be able to remove the screws...probably locktited from the factory"thumbsup"

are you from sprigfield va?
