Getting Ready for the Speed Test
We are gearing up for a super speed Saturday test, and let me tell you, the excitement is building up among enthusiasts. The stage is set for the 6s Mojave to go head-to-head with the Traxxas Maxx Slash with a modified setup.
Accessing the Motor
It’s surprisingly easy to make modifications on the Traxxas Maxx Slash. Just a couple of screws need to be removed, one here and one there, and voila! The entire motor assembly can be easily accessed by simply popping it out.
Reaching the Center Differential
For those curious about the inner workings of the vehicle, accessing the Center diff is a slightly more involved process. The enclosing cover needs to be opened up by removing four screws, allowing for the removal of the differential. The pinion gear cover also needs to be detached to access the Center diff fully.
Gearing Up for Speed
For the speed test at hand, a plastic gear has been substituted for the original metal gear. While the original gear was a 50-tooth, the new 46-tooth gear is expected to enhance the performance for the upcoming test run. Traxxas suggests that this setup may potentially push the vehicle to speeds exceeding 70 miles per hour, an exhilarating prospect for enthusiasts.
Preparing for the Test
Not so the smallest I can get is a 46 and I’m just going to run the stock 25 in there. I want to see if we can get um 60, at least about 63 to 65. I’m not sure if we will, if we won’t but I’m also going to run it without the body too, because with this body on this thing is just going to parachute. It’s going to fall, I’m going to slide across the concrete and tear this thing completely up. So I’m going to go ahead, I’m going to get all this put up in here, I’m just going to do a run with this. I’m not going to leave because this is not going to last long. This plastic gear and, well get this out and well get this tested.
Gear Setup
Actually y real quick before I run this I was actually able to find a 27, so we’re going to go ahead and we’re going to run a 27/46. So we’re two teeth shy of what Traxxas claims will be the 70 plus miles per hour, so we’re going to run a 46 and a 27 instead of a 44 and a 27.
Speed Test Run
Give me, just it’s going to take me, I don’t know about 20 minutes to get all this back together and get in the car and go to a spot, maybe 30 minutes to an hour and then get this running so I’ll, see you guys in just a second.
Setting Up the Traxxas Maxx Slash for Testing
Let’s go ahead and get this bad boy tested, with the 27t pinion and 46t spur gear setup. We are here to see what kind of speeds we can achieve with this configuration.
Testing Speed Limits
We are aiming to reach speeds close to 70 mph, even though we are off by two teeth on the spur gear. We need to ensure that the GPS is accurately tracking our speed as we put the Traxxas Maxx Slash to the test.
Running Without the Body
We decide to run the speed test with the body off, knowing that it won’t be able to withstand the high speeds we are aiming for. With the plastic spur gear in place and the somewhat loud gear mesh, we proceed to test the limits of this RC vehicle.
Impressive Performance
Heading down the track, we reach speeds of around 120 mph. Despite the challenges, the Traxxas Maxx Slash manages to hold up well, even without the body on. The performance is surprisingly good, surpassing our expectations as we push the limits with TSM off.
Impressive Performance
I do got that plastic spur gear in here. Lets see what we got yall drum roll 66. All right were going to try this one more time and go on back down. It actually held it. I was Im actually impressed no sway bars on here. Cuz they dont give you sway, bars, um and of course, I dont think these are can use droop screws on it, but anyway
TSM Functionality
Lets uh make sure this TSM make sure I started this back up. Sometimes I do forget I be like. Oh man, we got a good pass. Yep were starting all right lets. Take this on back down, TSM is turned down and off thats actually good, so it can do 70 M hour guys uh lets see if we can get higher than the 66.
Optimal Performance
Though Applause I thought I turned that TSM down. Let me dial it down some more cuz. It does not need it. There we go nice clean pass and its smooth all right. Take this back down one more time. That is good guys. It actually held it. No ballooning of the tires, no willing. None of that and its smooth all right lets see what we got lets see if we beat that 66 mph.
Speed and Excitement
If we get close to it, then we know with the 46, is definitely going to do it. Get close to 70. 60 67 yall know I just kind of want to try it again, but its probably not going to were probably not going to get nowhere near 70, but we are close were going to try this one more time its got.
Super Speed Saturday – Traxxas Maxx Slash Speed Test with 27t Pinion & 46t Spur
A load ran through this battery. So I doubt it may go slower. I doubt it’ll go any faster, actually pretty impressive that’s.
Smooth Performance
What I have to say how smooth it is with the body off that is good. I ain’t going to lie that’s actually good cuz. It just sounds so smooth too bad.
Gearing Improvement
They don’t include these gears when they sell you the car, all right bow bow hit the body. I doubt we beat that but um let’s see real quick, read this see what we got 68.
Speed Gain Experiment
We gained another mile, hate to say it since we’re gaining speed, we’re going to try this one more time. I got to make sure this TSM is turned all the way down all right.
Final Pass and Analysis
Last pass real Music quick, bring this on. Here we are losing bringing this own back down last pass y’all yeah! I think we lost a little bit o don’t run into that. Come on back down, let’s see what we got real quick. I doubt it but 67, okay, all right, y’all, 68 M hour.
Future Modifications
So we can do 7 if we have that extra two uh teeth on that spur gear down to a 44 instead of 46. So pretty impressive, you guys see how this handles so anyway, put your comments down below get the like subscribe stay tuned for the next video. As always, I appreciate you guys watching all right if y’all stay till now. This is not going to be pretty.
Aiming for Speed
Ah, its actually handling it look at Music that oh nope, I seen that Willian. We are not going to do that. We are not doing that out here, get right about there and then yeah its trying to so.
Adjustments Needed
You definitely would have to lower this down. Some do some adjustments if youre trying to run it with this body on here Im trying to do a wheie thats Full Throttle one more pass. I probably should have turned the GPS on right.
Success Amidst Challenges
Actually it handled it right there, its going a little bit slower than it was, but actually that handled that I probably should have turned the GPS on and were going to try one quick pass. This is some bonus footage make sure um.
Pushing the Limits
This is catching starting. This back over with, for you n, says: oh you didnt start it back over all. It is its stop. This zero so hopefully were good. I want to see what kind of speeds we can get with this body on here.
Final Results
All right lets come on down without flipping we gradually build up to it were Applause, good that held it that actually held it Music yall that is full throttle, so definitely run this when theres no wind. All right lets see what kind of speeds we got real quick too, I dont think I have my temp gun with me. Um nope dang it its in my other casing, but anyway lets see what kind of speeds we got real quick thats with the body on it: 64.
Testing the Traxxas Maxx Slash Speed
Today was the perfect day for some high-speed testing with the Traxxas Maxx Slash. We decided to push the limits with a 27t pinion and 46t spur gear combination to see just how fast this beast could go.
Impressive Speed Results
After some test runs, we were able to reach an impressive speed of 64 miles per hour. It was exhilarating to see the Maxx Slash fly down the track at such a high velocity. The control and power of this RC truck were truly remarkable.
Potential for Even More Speed
As we watched the Maxx Slash zoom past us, we couldn’t help but wonder how fast it could go with a few more tweaks. With some adjustments, it’s possible that this monster truck could reach speeds of 70 miles per hour or more. The belted tires helped to prevent ballooning, allowing for smoother and faster runs.
Overall Performance
Despite not hitting that magical 70-mile-per-hour mark, the performance of the Traxxas Maxx Slash with the 27t pinion and 46t spur gear setup was still impressive. The lack of a temp gun prevented us from checking the temperature, but based on its performance, we can say that it held up well under the high-speed runs.
