Experiment with your spacers. I go 55 wt front, 50 wt rear. I use 3 spacers in the rear. The largest, the middle, and the smallest, sort of like Goldilocks and the 3 bears, LOL! Anyway in the...

What have you done to be confident your mesh is correct? Just asking...... Did you do the paper test? It should look like an accordian when the paper comes out, without any rips, or holes. That...

Welcome, and I agree with John 100%. Some will tell you that the VXL can go up to 200 degrees, yeah it can if you want to ruin it. 160 is my max also. Here in Tucson, my VXL runs right...
I love the OOPS! photo.
I really like it. Looks too nice to get all bashed up, though.
Strickly off road/tracks go with the JConcepts Goosebumps. They grip like it's on rails on a track. They aren't any good though on pavement. They will wear in no time. My .02.
Both bodies are excellent choices. Neither body has anything to do with why paint will chip. That's all in the painter and prep work. I have the JConcepts truth body. My reason is I really like...
I don't agree with a 32 p being a lot better. Bigger teeth = sloppy teeth. Also if you take the time to set up everything correctly, you shouldn't (not won't) but shouldn't strip gears. The...
I snug tighten with the supplied wrench, then 1/2 turn back off. I did chew up a spur, but a pebble got in. Another tip is get a Losi pinion, 48 t pitch. It will make your slash whisper quiet. ...
I thought oven cleaner could also remove the chrome off the stock slash wheels?
IMO 160-165 is as hot as you should go. Even that's a little toasty. I know that Traxxas manual says 200, but I would't want it to get there. IMO motor damage starts around 170-175, and gets worse...
What was the highest they did get? That should be the question.
How did all your spurs/pinions hold up? Also the motor itself. Sand just gets everywhere, and is a killer. When I take my nitros to Glamis it's a different type of sand, but it still gets in...
I'm not digging that style, but it's only my opinion. I still am leaning towards the narrow revolvers. I know as soon as I do buy them, somebody will come out with a cool wheel.
It did come out of this month's Xtreme RC Cars. Doesn't mean right at the table you can have a BBQ grill, I'm assuming near your truck/car/moho/trailer, you know when you're not racing or...
Pavement driving will eventually kill the motor from heat related issues. Same with tall grass, those conditions just put too much strain on the motor/esc. Try to find some dirt. Another tip is...
+1 tramsnod! Well, thought out statement, while being completely honest.
IMO, that's tempting fate. The gear cover is there for a reason, and the RPM one without the hole is even a better option. I've already torn up a spur/pinion with a microscopic pebble, :lol: . ...
If this was only 30 days old, Traxxas should have replaced all 3 motors, esc, and receiver for free. Pinions/spurs different story, a little pebble causes big problems:lol: Battery charger you...
There is some type of new plastic safe Loc-tite out. I do not know exactly what it's called, but very close to that. You are not supposed to use regular Loc-tite in plastic threads, but I have in...
Great video. I liked the in air corrections, and back flips, and the landings.
The battery might have been dead because the stock one only gets around 10 minutes run time. Get yourself a temperture gauge. You can get one for around $20 - $25. The little Revos have heat...
Aw-Cmon, it was fun, and killed some time! Nothing is as bad as it seems.
The Traxxas 90T is a good choice. I have it in mine. Go with a Losi 19T 48 pitch. 19/90 very good for instant/hard acceleration, give a little bit up in the top end. Nothing you would notice. ...
OK, wait. Answer this the pinion is off the shaft, right? There is nothing on the shaft in your picture. To me, unless I'm missing something here, once again you just need to buy a new speed...
