HPI bullet st 3.0 ?

[jato1229]

Does anyone have the HPI bullet ST 3.0? If so, how is it? Also what's the speed that truck runs, any info please.

 

[jato1229]

Some1 has to know something about this buggy, any1?

 

[jato1229]

Please anything. 8 yr old want this thing, he has a traxxas ele. Stampede that's to slow. Hpi says bullet does bout 30-35 however Vedic looks much,much faster.

 

[Greywolf74]

Dont know much of anything about the bullet...never owned one.

 

[tmaxxfreek]

I would just convert his stampede to brushless, would be cheaper

 

[jato1229]

T-MAXXfreak, was thinking about that. What's involved, and how much we talking about? Will it be fast? Don't know much about the electric stuff.

You can purchase the traxxas VXL brushless system for 150 bucks, that will easily double the speed of the pede. Plus its waterproof.

is the stampede he has electric or nitro?

 

[srusinek]

He said the stampede was electric and I do agree that going brushless is cheaper than buying a new rc. If I'm not mistaken, all you would need is the vxl system and swap out the old.

Actually if you look on the Traxxas site, they say that it is water resistant and further go on yo say not to submerge it. If you want to play when it's wet or on the snow, it should be fine.

 

[tmaxxfreek]

Man, I gotta start getting some sleep, i'm missing whole words in sentences, i would for sure go brushless, for the money thats your best bet to get more speed.

 

[jato1229]

So going brushless how much speed we talking about? Also is it something I can install?

Hey, mudslingger33 what kind of batteries/charger would I need if I run that system, also price? What kinda speed will that thing run?

 

[mayrider]

you should be able to install, there is about 4 to 6 screws and a couple of wires, piece of cake. as far as speed i'm not for sure but i would say it would probably double it.

 

[hamz9561]

You can run stock NiMH packs and it will be much better than the stock motor/ESC. The best bang for the buck are LiPo batteries.

 

[jato1229]

Is there any 1 motor that I should get that is better then another? If someone can put part numbers of what I need that would be great. Once I have everything I need I will be fine. Just don't much about the electric. Thanx guys.

this is the kit i think most people are talking about in this thread.

 

[hamz9561]

The Traxxas Velinion is what comes in the VXL series of trucks. Here's a link:

[jato1229]

Now if I buy that system do I have to buy a lipo battery and charger.

Look at this on eBay:

TRAXXAS 3350X VELINEON VXL MOTOR & SPEED CONTROL

I didn't notice tmaxxfreeks post I'd go with his first link to save a couple bucks, I've baught a couple items from lumidave35 who is the seller listed he ships fast and is always a few bucks cheaper.

 

[hamz9561]

No, you do not have to buy LiPos. It will work fine on NiMH packs.
