with a 7-cell nimh pack, 19t pinion, 86t spur, how fast will my traxxas bandit go
883262
i say you will get to hit about maybe 35-40 max but more like 30 with that battery and gearing. if you get a smaller spur and a larger pinion with a lipo with a good c rating, then you could get to 60-70

45/50ish, u need a 3s lipo,gear change and tires to do 70+. ur battery is weak point. go lipo.

This should work great in a slash. I run one of these combos in my traxxas rally. 11.1v or 3S is so fast.

Yeah it will. I have mine in a traxxas slash lcg it's crazy fast. With the extra weight u have. You should go with a higher lipo. I use a 3 cell.

Put in two LiPo batteries in parallel and lower the gear ratio and you'll have all the speed and more power than you need. Go to your local RC dealer for the best advice. I would definitely invest in a Traxxas 6 amp battery charger.

the best the schematics say you can run is a 21 tooth pinion gear and a 64 tooth spur gear. it goes up to 24mph. I suggest getting a 13 turn motor to go faster. taht can make it got 35-40mph

With a 7.4 nimh you get around 40- 2s lipo you get around 55, with a 3s lipo your touching 70, but only if your car is under 5 pounds

Oh yea it will! Your rustler will just plain get it with this set up! I would just run a 2s lipo though, until you want to make people cry :) I would also recommend the castle link so you can program it with your computer. You will need to set it to the nihm setting and then change it back to lipo so you will be able to run it until you get your lipos.

It won't go 60mph on the standard motor and a 2s lipo. The best you'll get on the standard motor with a 2s is about 35 and a 3s will get you around 45. Both are very fast though. Go to the traxxas website and they will give you the breakdown of the batteries and what speeds you can obtain with each.

It really all depends on the gearing you put in. I got in a sc10 with a 7.4 lipo with 87 tooth spur and 22 pinion and it goes about 35-40.

I only ran this once with the stock motor and speed control to test it out because I bought it to run brushless with the all steel gears that it has. It's not very fast out of the box, probably like 15 mph . I never tried it with a Lipo, I removed the factory motor and esc and put in a 3800kv brushless

I am 58 and this was my first RC Car. The standard battery will be fine to learn the controls, however do your research and upgrade your battery once you feel confident. It took me about a week chasing the cats around the living room each evening doing figure 8...LOL I picked up 2 LIPO batteries 25C 7.4V 2S 2-Cell 2200mAh Lipo Batt:TRA 1/16 Modland a Traxxas 2933 EZ-Peak Plus 6 Amp LiPo and NiMH ChargerTraxxas 2933 EZ-Peak Plus 6 Amp LiPo and NiMH ChargerBEFORE YOU BUY...do you homework on LIPO Batteries.The LIPO's will give you the "kick ass" speed and power you will want and appreciate. I live on a golf course and in between golfers I sometimes race it out on the fairway and open it up..."wow". It goes fast. As far as 4 Wheel Drive...YES, YES & YES!Enjoy!

No you can't. The traxxas slash is ment to be ran with a single battery. If your looking to increase run time buy a battery with a higher mah rating

Mamba max pro sct edition with the 2400kv motor is another option since you can run 3S batteries.You can try other gears like higher pinion..My 2WD is 19T and I went high as 26T.The spur is 83T.Get a temp gun and watch for temp of the motor.You can go 5700kv because 5700kv per volt is 1000 rpm.57,000 rpms..more top end or more torque at 2400kv.Change gears first to learn.

I have mine in a 2wd sc10 and I have a 87 tooth spur and a 18 tooth pinon and it is almost to much. But I use it for racing so I'm not going for the max out of my motor.

Top speed will depend on the spur gear but this motor is slow but heavy on torque look for something else.

Its plenty fast its the torque you want. Thats why you want the lipos they hold even charge providing burst for jumps and passing.

The Bandit is designed to fit all 6 cell 7.2v stick and all 7 cell 8.4v hump packs. It will not fit the 8.4v "long" packs only "hump". The Bandit can also fit most LiPo packs but in my experience the 7 cell nimh are just as fast. I bought a racer's edge 7 cell 8.4v 3300mah hump pack and used it in my Bandit.
