i need to get this running i've got a big meet this weekend

ive kept an eye on the temperatures every run, never gone over 150*F and recently have been running a heatsink and fan which has kept it very cool

so just took my slash 4x4 outside to go for a run
went to pull away and it wasnt moving but i could hear the motor spinning, i could see the pinion want moving so i assumed the grub screw had come...

i used a dremmel, there were a few bits that worked but the best one i found was err i cant remember what they are called :lol: but the ones that have little bits of diamond stuck in them

i dont...

hmm not a bad idea
my front has snapped all of the splines off so not sure if that would of made much difference, i guess it could be from it twisting from the shaft not being on properly though

the spline that goes from the front diff to the centre driveshaft snapped for the 2nd time today and the steel one i have on order is still out of stock

so i set about making the steel rear one...

how do you know that traxxas are making their own set?

if thats true then i will wait a bit for the traxxas ones

im looking at getting some FLM rear CVDs for my slash, addicted2rc.com used to sell all of the FLM parts but they seem to have stopped now.

i bent a stock shaft today and was looking at part '1664T' the front titanium nitride coated shock shafts
has anyone run them and are they stronger than stock?

not sure what else i can do, i know...

i can almost guarantee that those 2 servos internals will not be a straight swap, as said they will use different gear ratios which will then not mesh properly and the motor may not fit, the board...

thats good to know, i just couldnt really see how it all mounted from RPMs pics

looks like the bumper and lower skid are 2 seperate parts which bolt together without using the oval bit

anyone using an RPM front bumper?
im eusre being RPM it wont break, but it looks like it gets rid of the top flexi mount so i wasnt sure if it would actually absorb any impact?

does anyone have...

well i rang traxxas UK this morning and was told that because i bought the slash from tower hobbies in the US and not from the UK that if i send it in for repair i will be charged for the repair and...

I will be interested to see what you come up with :) one of my halfshafts is binding and ive tried cleaning it and lubing it, not sure what else to try

well ive got the MM to use for now i guess so will just wait and see what they say

ive fitted a deans connector to the ESC, would that effect the warranty at all?
