Finally!! A comparison between the 12T and the new BL-2S system. Half the videos I see are people ranting about how the BL-2S system isn’t as good as the VXL system and I don’t get why they think that’s a correct comparison. This the Titans replacement! This is the new era stepping in. Before you know it, the titan will be gonzo

Another great video Mark👍 Just the fact of how well this power systems handles going up 4 teeth without even a seat is impressive. That plus the HD parts is a win.

If traxxas could drop a crawler brushless system. Something with FOC it would be awesome.

I’d rather traxxas under gear than over gear that’s for sure. Also glad my comment didn’t go unheard about the ring and pinion ratio

When the Stampede version comes out, you should do a comparison video with it and the Team Associated MT10. Would love to see how they stack up to each other!

You'd hit those temps just letting it sit in the parking lot here in Texas, haha! I haven't gone out since we hit the 90+ (not feels like). Another great vid Mark, thank you!

I'm looking forward to the new BL-2S Stampede when it's released. It's the one out of the three new cars that is most likely I'll buy.

Thanks mark

I love what traxxas did, it's a shame though that no one recieved the stampede for review since I love the design on that car😂

That's a good upgrade I was surprised it was so close on the other comparison you did

Thank you!

The fact that it still comes with a long ass antenna and a hole in the body just shows how stuck in the past they are. Antennas don’t need to be exposed anymore.

Dang you came to Idaho! I'm in Jerome. 😊

Really nice set up

Love seeing these trucks pushed to their limits. 16t pinion definitely seems aggressive for that motor. 200F seems a bit on the hot side for me, even 180 is kinda toasty. I usually see most people recommend staying around 160 for good performance and lifespan. I've run motors upwards of 200 and some of them can take it pretty well, but it's definitely pushing them. Given the temps and slow acceleration, I think I'd probably run a 15t personally, maybe even a 14t. I bet that would give you the perfect balance of top speed, good launches, and keep the motor temps well under control. I'd also be willing to bet that the stock ESC is just kinda lazy. Velineons are usually set up to have really low punch and it's not adjustable, so I find the initial throttle response is just kinda spongy feeling to me. Doesn't have the instant torque and power all at once when you jam on the throttle, and if you only give it a little bit of throttle it just feels like you're not getting much power. Pair that motor up with a Hobbywing EZrun, and turn up the punch a couple levels, and I bet that thing would spin 4 tires on command for 100ft no problem. Just doesn't have that kinda kick with the stock ESC. Of course, 3s could also really take that thing up a notch and I think the motor would be just fine on 3s with the stock gearing, especially being a 3300kv.

I’m running the same steering wheel setup in bronze on my Sanwa MT44 but I added their larger diameter foam so nice 😊👍🏽

Has anyone heard when youll be able to buy the system. Be a great upgrade for my kids 2wd slash with the 12T

I’m gonna be putting one of those BL-2S systems in my Team Losi 22SCT 2.0 for club racing

I feel that this new 2s system will really shine in the 2wd class. The brushed motor is great but a tad slow. The new velenion system is great but seems to be too powerful for the 2s line. It loves to blow up diffs in my personal experience. This 2s system though....ya buddy! I'm excited to try this for myself.

Nice beginner car but once you have the Rustler with the 3s brushless system ya never go back.

I like the track

Bought the rustler b-l2s instead of the MT10. Great car for kids.

they need a modified wingless class so u can run the Chuckworks chassi

My guess is that it's geared down at the factory because they expected people to be running it in grass. Grass is nothing more than a heat generator when it comes to RC stuff. So it's probably got a lot of headroom as long as you stay out of the grass, but a lot of new to the hobby people run in their yards because they don't have dedicated places to drive.

Say what u will about traxxas but the drivetrain is always smooth my maxx v2 is like the gears are packed with butter 🧈 ya that smooth lol

Lmao a 1/4 mile time of 3 seconds 🤣 😂 😅 💀 im dead rn. I think you mean 1/4 100ft 😂

I've watched a few reviews on this rig. Not really impressed. And I do enjoy many Traxxas products. It doesn't give me that( I gotta have it) feeling.

I thought the Brushed models come with 35+ MPH on the box after your tests doesn't that seem pretty off?

Sounds insane

The only truck I like better than my rustler is my rival mt10 v2.

2s brushless rustler please! Lol although 3s is a animal in that car 🤔

Would love to see that new BL-2S system put in the 2WD vehicles. It'd probably be perfect for them.

It's ok

better than the vxl.... all the vxl systems i had overheated all the time

How come u never drive the nitro rustler or tmaxx?

Great video

Good afternoon brother cool video nice car

Do you have your own track and office?

what is the box your remote is in? can we see that

wouldnt it make much more sense to buy the Arrma Vorteks instead? these 2s cars are just too expensive for what you get

Hey how can I get a couple stickers from you so I can put on my RC truck and do you have a website that I can buy stickers from just want one or two to put on my big truck

Per traxxas, 150 for the esc and 170 for their motors.

Mark, are you really in Santa maria? Came accross your channel. Just bought my first RC and wondering if there is any local tracks.

Tired of the traxxas fan boy comments haha, not our fault traxxas brings quality and affordability with a wide range of platforms

Wow, you’re doing a Traxxas video………great,didn’t see that coming. 😄🤷🏻‍♂️👍💯

Thank you for revisiting this. I think it shows the new trucks value in a much better light. Im a big fan of the upgrades. I also loved the gearing test, for the people going to the skate park or in their driveway gearing up will be perfect and probabky get them over the 30mph mark.

What’s your thoughts on performance between this 3300kv and the 3500kv?

Will you be going to truck nats

Should have tried the azada wheel for the 10px..... it is mint

5:05 actually i hate this little piece because it doesn’t mesh the gear correctly. it sits a little to far from the spur and literally just strips the spur every single time. i took that little piece out which like you said is supposed to help lining it up but it doesn’t, and i was able to get it to mesh without it😂

What are your thoughts on putting the new bl2s system in a traxxas bandit? I’d like to make my daughters bandit faster and brushless, but she’s not ready for the vxl like I have in my rustler!

Are the differentials the vxl ratio or the shorter xl5 ring and pinion?

Have you tried doing higher pinion counts off road? I was thinking maybe 15t off road? For my 2s bls? 🤔. For me, 177F is too hot IMHO

So I guess the real question is will 3S and TSM be worth the extra US$70 for a VXL version of each of these cars?

16 is to much gear. 14 would be better. It sounded flat when you ran in the parking lot.

So mark, what would be a good safe motor and esc temp for longevity of the electronics? I know you said 200 and 180 but I feel like that might effect the lifespan of the system if you’re consistently close to those numbers… some guys say “if you can’t touch it for a couple seconds it’s too hot”… 200 and 180 would burn you pretty good if you did that! 😅😂

Cool！Would you be interested in reviewing Rlaarlo's new car? Looking forward to your response with excitement!

Out of all the wheels that company sells I bought same style and color haha😂

Guess I shouldn't freak out at 150 motor temps any more. 😊

177 is extremely hot. 125 is pretty cool. I usually target 150-160 on the motor. For the rustler I think 14 would work great.

I am really waiting for the review of the new stampede 4x4 bl-2s Marc any news about it

You tested 1/8th mile but I’m just being picky now😂

If there was one thing I was able to shout from the treetops and have everyone hear, it would be that it’s ok to be wrong. To err is to be human.

Just bought one today and it is unbelievably tough .. when you mix a slower 2s lipo with extra thick / tough hop up parts .. it just won’t break .. Can you please tell me where to put the damn antenna! .. lol sadly you just skip through that part and I was like damnit lol

Just wierd 2s but has heavy duty parts

Can you add tcm to a rc

can i run a 14t pinion on mines too would it be risky? ion wanna blow up my motor

Vxl-3s is way faster even on 2s

Who is looking forward for 2s thats like saying i cant wait for the new 4 cylinder corvette

I wish I could make aluminum wheels.. ☹️

Part of being Human & we go on. Now , gear that puppy up , this my 2nd request, Jesus Christ . 😊

That system just has no punch

No one buys traxxas for their electronics do they??? 😂

👍👍😗😎

Lucky winner? Me? Did I win something?

The point of this video was to test gearing. And you failed. Is this a crappy tv show where they always need cliff hangers? Shoot a video n put all the info into it. come on man

super impressed with it, not so much with your fuckin driving

I want to see him pull the BL2's off the shelf. Absolute crap. What garbage? I wish I bought a VXL. I knew this was going to be such a piece of trash whenever trust traxxass again, if I don't see the speed on the box I'm not buying it

What?!?! You were up here!!! Damn would have loved to meet you!!
