I hit 72 on 2s a couple yrs ago with a losi 22Ssct, it was epic!! I did have bigger wheels/tires and different set of gears i cant remember what pinion and spur I was running. Its funny I was running those same 130c gens ace batteries, they're probably the best lipo battery that you can buy.
That is moving in 2s! Those Gens Ace LIPOs are good but I am really shocked how a “lower performance “ and cheaper Liperior (it is not one of their high end packs) is just as fast!
Thank you! I was tempted to try the 2nd gen but didn’t like how they force you to use 4mm bullets. Also, it is 4s capable and I think if I run 4s I may destroy my Bandit when it goes into orbit.😂it is really tempting and one day I may try one but for now I am sticking with G1. It would be a really fun comparison though…. Maybe this fall I will get one. I wish they would send me one as I know I can get a lot of interest in their products but a lot of these big companies can’t see the forest through the trees….
Thanks man, things have got a lot better in the last day or so! That DR10 is not joke but there are some really fast 2s cars out there. If I am not mistaken, I have seen one do over 100 mph 😂
@@BriansRCStuff oh yeah I've seen outlaw drag cars break 100 on 2s, it's mind blowing. I wonder what the 2s speed record is, or if it's a stat anyone keeps up with. That could be an interesting form of speed challenge, 2s only.
That motor should only be seeing about 39k rpm. That thing is going to be nuts on 3s. Great runs. I've had that esc. Never had any issues. Even with back to back speed runs with 3s and 7700kv. If I ever get any free time I'll have some bandit speed runs coming. I went down to 2900kv so I can run 4s. And I have a perfect pass going in.
I hit 81.7 on 2s the other day (newer video) and 98.7 on 3s. With the current set up, it should just crack, 100 miles an hour on 3S… And I have some 4S batteries to test in it but I’m kind of scared honestly .😂
Running big power is tricky, cap packs help with voltage ripple. The small diameter wires going from the esc to the motor are going limit amperage. Even though batteries are more than enough, the esc will only put out what the wires will handle. Good luck
Thanks man, I replaced the stock 14 gauge motor wires with 12 gauge on the XTeam motor I am running. I am not sure how much that helps vs stock (the stock wires were too short) but I but it doesn't hurt!
Actually, the esc will give what the motor asks, ik the wires are too thin for the current passing through them they will heat up... and yes the higher resistance of thinner wires will reduce the current
“Shook my confidence a little.” Bro you put a 44 tooth pinion and a 54 tooth spur gear into this thing. What did you think was gonna happen? (I’m a beginner in rc so I don’t know if having a 44 tooth pinion is ok. I know a enough about gears to know that that big of a pinion will eat anything and everything up.
@@BriansRCStuff After toying with cheaper stuff once I got a Rustler XL-5 - I own other (also nitro) cars, faster / "tougher", but I sort of fell in love with the model so you wouldn't recognize it as such anymore. I have big tires on it and lights but also proper electronics and SMC batteries, my goal is not so much to reach immense speeds but to have a really pretty car that balances between just driving around reasonably versatile whilst also being flipping fast. I still take this car out the most and by far buy the most parts for it. It just feels right. Love your videos, you'd probably laugh at how huge and heavy my build is but there's my challenge; like an old muscle car with big wheels ;)
@@BriansRCStuff I think that can be arranged later today :) I live in NL and not too far from home there's a really *good* (ran by true enthusiasts) RC store close by, so every month or so I pay (pun intended) them a visit. The other day I was in the market for a good long running high discharge battery and they basically said "look, honestly, they are expensive we know, but these SMC batteries really deliver on their promise". That day I bought a (I had the battery expansion installed) 8000mAh 120c 3S (Graphene Extreme V2) battery and when I plugged it in and ran I knew they weren't lying ;) Over time I got me another one of those and I also have that green 5200 mAh 'high cycly life' 150c 3S btw., which packs even more punch if you can believe it. And here I thought I'd keep it short :-)
So nice to see her back RIPPIN, 77 defiantly respectable for first run brother.. Like the smile on your face bud.. GO get that 100mph👍💯💢😎
Thanks man!

He’s back!!! I’m sorry to hear about your kiddo I hope she’s ok brother 👍
Thanks man! She started to do a lot better through the day thankfully…. She was a mess before… a relief for sure.
Great to see it back in action!!! Looking forward to 3s!!
Great runs i want to try out the new g2 Looking forward to the 3s runs And i wish your daughter a speedy recovery 🙏
Thank you!

@BriansRCStuff yeah they don't like the smaller channels but hey that's there problem
Good thing the car didn't catch fire. Other than that is was quick for 2s on that new esc. Hope your daughter recovers quickly.
Thanks, she started to do a lot better throughout Yesterday
Can't wait for the 3s run! Hang in there life is always throwing curve balls unfortunately..
Thanks man!
I hope you and you're family are all ok buddy. Every time I think my DR10 is fast on 2s, you go and bring me back to earth hahahaha.

@@Rek_Rc seems much more attractive than going stupid fast and breaking stuff…. 100 mph or a bit more is a lot more manageable!

Awesome! I would love to see yours run! Great info for me on how your ESC has held up too!
How did you calculate motor rpm, just curious.😎
With the right battery you’ll definitely hit 100 plus with that setup.
I hope…. But I am not real confident. I have some of the best moderately priced batteries in the market. I will give it my best try though!
77 on 2s dammmmmm can’t imagine it in 3 even 4 those can do 4s Fr

@@BriansRCStuff yeah first day I drove my 4tec on 2s I almost crashed a parked car lol then with a 3s pull the trigger to hard and it flys lol 😂

@@g09skinnyboy yeah, a 37t pinion and 44t spur. It’s fine but only for one run at a time and then you have to let things cool down.
I've got my share of cars, but the Rustler (in your case Bandit) always grabs my attention, on and on and on...
I wanted to dislike it but it does so much really well… durable, fast, cheap parts. Hard to complain about it.

Whoops, I meant 'cycle' of course.
Good run. How'd it run on 3s ?
So far it has been great (other than the cooling fan crapping out after a few minutes of running 3s). I have a bunch of videos running it.
What gps is that
Melina Mini GPS. About $30.
