Upgrading the Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL (Proline Badlands MX28 on new RAID Wheels)

Ойын-сауық

Picked up a set of the new Badlands with the new Raid wheels. These wheels come with interchangeable hubs allowing to change the offset with out having to buy no wheels.

    Best tires made, I've had them on my 2WD for 2 years now and I'd never go back to the stock tires. I have a heat sink on my motor with a fan and never have heat problems. Took some time figuring out the right ratio but once I got it I haven't changed a thing. Great looking ride man.

    What gear ratio did you end up with? I'm thinking about doing this with mine. I like running a 3S but my motor likes to overheat. Looking into a Mamba X setup and 2200mkv motor.

    Just bought a stampede vxl tsl and these mx28 wheels. Is it difficult to replace the "pinion"? Aren't the different offsets so that the wheels line up like they do with the factory wheels? What are you putting thicker oil in? I just drive mine in training mode and it's plenty fast for me. Just bought it to chase geese and needed these tires to get more traction in grass.

    Have you ever tried the actual mini E-Revo (since you mentioned that's what you wanted from this truck)? That tiny thing can easily double-backflip of a tiny jump with Badlands, or triple+ backflip at full send, but sometimes it's just a bit too small so I've been thinking about converting my Slash Ultimate into kind of a mid-point between E-Revo 2.0 and the 1/16 and I don't know if it makes sense to do.

    Got these tires, but they wobble like hell in the front, and in the rear they stand so narrow and have so much toe-in that they scrape the body. Guess you have wider arms on your Rustler, but then it would be a shame that I didn't hear about any of that in the video. The wheels themselves are great. It's not their fault they're not fitting.

Blew out shock caps and broke steering components and over heated. This was all under the same driving conditions I was driving on before installing the tires. I ended up getting big bore shocks and tekno drive shafts and still bent a drive shaft and broke a cup. Iv since sold the tires on Craigslist and had zero issues on my stock tires but I miss the grip of the bigger tires.

I managed to get it to 93mph but built a low CG slash and converted my original one back to dirt. BUT I kept it as 6s with mod1 gears. I broke all my axles so put steel one in the rear. Then I put 2.8 Trenchers on and kept breaking front driveshafts almost immediately. Mind you I am beating it silly by jumping it...lol. I will have the vid up in a few days. I finally pulled my Arrma Typhon out to jump it off the same ramp and let me tell you that thing jumps far and flys so straight. I will be starting to drive my Arrma's more now. The Traxxas need too much to make them tough to really bash that might as well get a 6s Arrma from the beginning. I still have a Slash 4x4 dedicated and modded to do speed runs. So far it's up to 105mph but I'm really enjoying the bashing now but it gets very expensive as I am breaking parts every time I go out...lol.

    They will most definitely be harder on everything they are bigger and very heavy compared to stock. The car feels very different but it's fun. The weight and traction make it awesome for offroad and it wants to wheelie and flip a lot. I doubt stock axles will last a more than a couple of packs on 3s.

    Sorry but going from the cold weather Traxxas a-arms to RPM is a downgrade to saggy less functional parts. You can run any wheel on any RC as long as you can regear back to stock final drive ratio. Altho you will have trouble with the weight of those tires on the Velineon system. You will be forced to use a much slower gearing to use them without excess heat.
