      That’s awesome, I’ll be tossing it in the first RC I over bought with my own money as a kid. I’ll be sure to make this a video.

    Enjoy the upgrade guys was honestly thinking of buying a slash with the hd parts and throwing in a vxl motor I have sitting make a fast project like this super cost effective too

      I’m glad Traxxas started including the HD kits, you’re right it’s much cheaper. I think since they added the NEW Stampede 4X4 VXL we’re gonna upgrade again from 3500 to the 540XL.

      After looking at the specs, it seems like it’s just a name change. It’s the HOSS labeled as a stampede 4x4 VXL. If you look at Traxxas’s site, the hoss has been removed. It’s definitely an amazing car though, definitely worth it.

      Both are great cars in their respective categories. If you are looking to race, go with the slash. If you’re a basher, you’ll have more fun either way the vortkes. Both are great cars though!

      Because it's so more expensive. For almost the same thing.
      I have no doubt the New 2S motor is 3S capable given its only 3300kv 3S should be well within its parameters.
      The only reason it's not is because Traxxas deliberately program the software in the ESC to only work in 2S as well as make up some BS proprietary plug in attempting to not just swap out the ESC and have a vehicle that's almost as capable as the VXL for a fraction of the price.

    I think what everyone wants to know is if the VXL ESC will work with the new 2S motor on 3S.
    I think this video is a wasted opportunity

    • @Demon_RCcrazy
      @Demon_RCcrazy Před 2 měsíci +3

      Dude that ESC won’t handle a 3s lipo it it burn up the ESC. Plus why would you use that little ESC on a 3500?

    • @druscanam
      @druscanam Před 2 měsíci +2

      @Demon_RCcrazy
      I'm pretty sure the ESC is 2S only, which means it won't even recognise a 3S.
      So if you connect a 3S only the servo will work but you will have no drive.
      The motor, however, should be able to easily take 3S, being only 3300kv.

    • @redbanditracing
      @redbanditracing  Před 2 měsíci +2

      You answered your own question on this video. You can’t use a 3s on this BL-2S ESC. It was not worth trying because I have plans on using the setup on another car….and this RC is 30 years old

    • @LilBITRC_Shady
      @LilBITRC_Shady Před 2 dny +1

      I don’t think everyone wants to know, you just wanted to ask a stupid a$$ question 😂😂😂. The BL2S has a bullet connection it won’t work.

    • @KingSlingRC
      @KingSlingRC Před 2 dny

      Did you read your owners manual? The bl2s system uses a bullet type connector, it wont work. There was no opportunity to loose. Great video
