FID VOLTZ 8s at BASHFEST 13

- Very few of these are around at the moment and its very early days tuning and setup wise for the truck and its new owners. This 1 is stock and running only 5000Mah lipos.
It blew a foam and tyre off the bead early on. I would imagine thick fluid in the front diff and centre ( if it hads 1?) would tame the front end ballooning. wether the 1 wheel lift is a trait of this truck is yet to be seen. I am hoping it is not.
check out the truck at;

enjoy ;)
GoOd LoRd!!! Put in thicker oil on the center diff!!! It looked like that thing only had 7k in it 😂.
That rig looks sweet and rips like hell great job 🤘
thanks mate
Did you go over all of the screws to make sure they were all tight? And why didn't you change out the blown tire for the one on the back?
Please bring us more Voltz videos ...your ratings are growing fast for this one.👍
i need access to a voltz for that!
@@RCmaxxUK ...follow that dude that had the voltz that you filmed...follow him night and day😄lol
some big time 1/5 going on over there. hope for this to continue for a while. beautiful machines for sure
Fantastic Racing, what's beasts they are, Love them 👍😁👍 Amazing video again brother 👍👍👍
cheers mate
Great footage 👍👍
thanks ;)
Nice rig I’m pretty impressed...
in the flesh its a beauty!
i think so the center diff is probably a bit to smooth :)
needs a fluid change all round minimum in the diffs...
@@RCmaxxUK 2 Millions cst oil is nice for this size
@@RCmaxxUK 500k center 300k front is good track setup...
Man I couldn't run like that with all the stopping power of that whistle
Yes mate it would drive me nuts.
Wow that tire blew within the first minute on the track...and I got one coming in from china oh well maybe I should glue the tires to the rims, what you guys think? And thanks for putting up the video you came through 👍
You should always glue the tires to the rim. Unless they're beadlock rims.
@@jmac3693 ...those are beadlock rims, they are not holding the tire down on the rim under high rpm. So I figure putting glue on the tire and then put the beadlock ring on, that should give it the ultimate hold😉
I also put gorilla super glue all around the lip of the tires and then put the beadlock ring back on. Now the tire will be glued to the beadlock ring and the beadlock is still screwed into the rim. This should prevent the foam slipping out of the tire when the tire expand at top speeds. I know I won't be able to use those rims again but by the time those tires ware down those rims will have been beaten up , and therefore it will be time for some new rims and tires.
Hi mate. I did exactly that with my losi 5t big bore 50cc. I glued the foam to the wheel. glued drywall tape to the inside of the tyre.... then the tyre to the foam, glued the inner tyre wall to the side of the foam, then the deadlock to the wheel/ tyre and used wood screws on the beadlocks. used gorilla glue on 1 which was a bit messy as i was unaware it expands and foamed out the sides as i used too much.... sticks like sh*t (screw fix) on the other 3. at bashfest on the oval i ran 3 sessions... snapping a drive shaft each time but the tyres and foams stayed on!!!! result!!!
@@RCmaxxUK ...thanks mate
It has quick acceleration maybe if he glue the tires on the foam will stay inside. What do y'all think?
yup... i have done exactly that on my 50cc losi 5t
@@RCmaxxUK ...by gluing the tires is it holding up at high speeds?
It also seems that some of the gaser's took off faster than the brushless voltz.
So far with my experience with the voltz it needs softer rear springs. The stiffness of those rear springs does not allow the rear suspension to give or flex enough. I'll check to see if fid racing makes a softer rear spring for it. Or maybe put a set of front springs in the rear and lower the collar down, because the front springs are perfect.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Ryder Silas Instablaster :)
@Jordy Harlem Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Jordy Harlem it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Ryder Silas You are welcome :D
So Mark the mate since you glued the tires on your Losi 50cc have you had any issues of them coming un done at full throttle speeds? Thanks
Hello
I have the same truck as yours and i have a problem with it...
Everytime i take it for a spin i blow out the tires after 20 seconds (two 16000mah 4s 25c batteries).
Do you have a suggestion for a better tire maybe?or a solution to make it last longer?
I cant find any other 230mm tires (smaller means less speed obviously)
Thabk you for your help my friend
Michy Assouline hi mate. This voltz is actually not mine. But I did have the petrol version and now having 50cc plus 1/5 scales I’m fairly into the whole tyre thing as it’s a big issue for you with the voltz and me with my 50 keeping tyres on and foams in the tyres! One suggestion is to put thick fluid in the Center differential to try to stop power going to the front tyres so hard. Maybe heavy fluid in the front diff too?... not sure. I’m talking 500k or so. Really thick!
2nd is tyre prep. You could try brp tyres and hubs of course but u will loose size and they are big ££££.
I have tried with success using wood screws instead of beadlock screws and glueing the tyre/ foam / bead with gorilla glue. It’s worked very very well so far. I did a video on this subject. I’ll link you it. 👍 good luck!
czcams.com/video/7Pu5X_-kdJg/video.html
500k-1mk center. 400k front diff oil.
Nice
cheers bro ;)
It drives like it's very heavy..... But looks 👍
Much better off buying the Vekta .5 LSE kit along with the brushless conversion kit. The Vekta is much wider and it will never roll over. Better build too
hmmm interesting opinion. thanks for the comment ;)
out of interest what cost are you thinking for that kit?...here in the UK at least ( i don't know the exact numbers without looking) but at the time of this vid i would not be surprised if the voltz rtr is not similar money to the Vek5 kit.... then you have the conversion kit, full electronics and all the costly upgrade parts the vk seems to need to run reliably ( this is what i hear ever since the VEk5 appeared as several of my friends have had and sold them...though some have also had and sold the dragon hammer inc me)
Would possibly work in the US with the cheaper Vek and higher £voltz??? dunno without US$ prices to go on....££ has to be taken into account. I've seen Vek5 roll big time too.... fid has better setup now to reduce rolling...personally i would not buy either loll hahahah ;)
@@RCmaxxUK I'm in Australia and yeah it costs quite a bit more for the Vekta kit and the conversion kit and electronics. I only had my Vekta for a few months and sold it. They're too heavy, just like the Voltz. The 5iveT, 5iveB and DBXLe are the best
gavsta72 I agree mate. They are too heavy for brushless really. Stresses the electronics a lot. I’m actually in the process ( well not started yet) of converting my losi 5b with the tlr kit to brushless. I think it’s an ideal platform for it. Only a simple max5 8s setup for starters. I do like it petrol but want to try it.
The vekta is not wider. The voltz has extenders mounted box stock. Both vekta and voltz is 600mm.
And ztw electics seems reliable on 8s. Have serious mileage on mine now. Never had heat issues.
Hello, I am deciding a set of 4 tires for my dbxl-e, the stock tires is greet, but wear quite fast. what do you think of the these taller v2 tires. Or should I just get the 5ive-b stock tires or even the 5ive-t 2.0 wheels+tires if that fit at all?
What is ur opinion? Thanks!
Nice pizza cutter from that front wheel
Please put a locker in the center diff! Making the rig look like it doesn’t belong there 😂
Hello, , what is the autonomy of the car in 8S please
That’s better she’s a beast mate how much r they mate if u don’t mind me asking🏎🏎
£1100 buddy
Whistle blowers 🤪
lucky he has a spear tyre
We need track like thst here in ny need thicker diff oil maybe or better tires for that track
they told that this car can run 12S - but these Tires won´t work on 8S - so what ?
its an 8s car mate due to esc failures on 12s... but yes i agree about the tyres
looked heavy
it is!
Axial Yeti XL ?
Axial?
Does anyone know if there are any retailers here in the U.S.?
Change diff oil
Could not her the eword, just the gas! No bueno! That thing needs a 50cc RC max!
50cc ALX... 46cc rcmax ;)
Fellow's I am very pissed off my voltz was to arrive this Thursday but happyellen from fid racing just told me it will be another 5 day delay do to a storm un-freakin'-believable I am really pissed off. I haven't even got the vehicle yet and already having trouble from it...DAG!
@Cyclonex1CA ca ...Yes I got it but had trouble on first run it's being repaired .
Should be interesting on 12s if the ZTW Version 2.0 (??) can cope, the track looks like it copes with the abuse laid down every meet. As always 👌
is there a version2 already?....
Breaking 5th scale tires will get pricey lol
sure does!
That beast should be 12s😂
To much diff action. Going heavier on fluid would help on the ballooning and handling of that monster.
3:30....pizza cutters
Make some jumps please!
Stopping everytime an opponent flipped over nah that's annoying🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️......... U out if u flip over. Everyone would lose 🤷🏾♂️😭😭😭. Nah last one on all four wheels win...
I can imagine how rabid the dragonhammer will be at 12s!))))
Ps. Why everywhere dragonhammer sell as 8s ???? He has a 12s regulator and an engine. Up to 34,000 turns.
Andrey Bo his esc is capable of 12s but his only running 8s lipos.
@@eacalways
I bought a separate engine and regulator. Connected to 12c. And the engine could not stand 12c. After 10 seconds, the rotor fell apart. Magnets flew off.
VERY poor engine making !!!!
Rust inside!
Kevlar winding was in one layer!
Ordered another engine Roket 70120. 680kv. With high-quality rotor. But he is heavier. It is possible to rearrange the rotor in the red FID motor.
Hire a video about it.
@@beastrcrc3318 hi Audrey I think I have just blown my fid motor in my voltz on 12s. Will the motor you describe be a direct replacement for mine?
@@cornishraptorlj4696 you have a broken motor ??? FID? When connected 12s ??
Yes. Any Roket 70120 engine will work !!! FID motor .... same inside.
But, if you put the Rocket motor on a dragonhammer voltz, then you need to make gaskets ... for the rear mounting of the motor !!!!
@@beastrcrc3318 I believe so Audrey, it made a funny noise and I thought it was the gearbox whining but then the motor sparket and smoked a little
Diffs out way to much center diff needs way thicker oil to much front end tire ballooning
looks like a truck that is going to be full of issues
Seams under zolted
Re name this to whistlefest 13😄lol
6 minutes on 5000mAh packs......
The 16,000mah give you 30 minutes of run time. They are for sale on aliexpress...just go their and type in Dragon hammer voltz and they will show up. I have the voltz coming and two 16,000mah battery packs . They should be here this Thursday according to the tracking number info.
omfg this is so fucking hard to watch I cant ;
Almost looked like they were out to get you ,,darn haters lol
Looks nice but petrol is better :):):) lol
If you like noise smoke poor performance and reliability issues.
Just get an old MG m8 ;)
Brad's Rcs electric is faster
Mr- T true but petrol is more exciting
Faster, is more exciting hehe
Let the RC wars commence! :p
Brad's Rcs losing races is exciting?
ec5 wtf
Stopped with a whistle every time a car turns over? That'd drive me nuts.
The cars all look way overpowered & unstable.
Also why an oval? A proper circuit would teach car control rather than point n squirt.
there is also a technical track. many like the oval racing. whistle stops to allow a the car to be recovered safely by a martial.
@@RCmaxxUK 5th scale hadn't come in when I was racing. I raced both 10th electric & 8th ic buggys at national level. Look quite good fun though. I'll have to come down for a look one day.
Its not the same
as?
Im missing the braaaaaat
ALL FID stuff fails, and the so called "hop ups" for other models all have to be modded to make them fit, very poor design.
It's a knockoff of a Kraken Vekta
These were out before the Vekta if anything Kraken copied the Dragon hammer.
The Hammer is NOTHING like the Vekta......and the Hammer was released first and shown in prototype form before the Vekta....so educate yourself clown.
My Kraken vekta can outperform all of you drivers
The Ghost Racing G5 is the Vekta clone. Not this one.
Michael Januszewski Good for you 😂
2000$ for a toy , lol and not very strong ,
First
congratulations
So basically, it’s a knock off. Kraken
