You may want to look at the Duratrax Oynx 245 charger for your batteries - It is a little more money at $130, however it will charge two batteries at the sames time without having to split the...
You want your truck to bottom out on larger jumps - it takes stress off of some of the suspension components. They were designed to do it.
For sure try the stiffer springs and thicker oil,...
Cut or melt two small holes on each side of the tire in the middle of the tread, really small holes (1/8 inch). Then hold the truck, put in high gear and give it full throttle. This should spin the...
There is a photo in the Picture thread with bigger tires.

It is about...
25c would be all you need for a stock truck - a higher C rated battery would not increase performance.
WOW - The google link - That was nice and rude! :thumbup:
Onebadtmaxx - you can go with the above mentioned Castle motor in a combo with the ESC and fan for about $120. Will give you more...
You could use the Castle 3800kv SCT (1410) - should bolt right in and will give you quite a bit more torque as it is a 4 pole motor.
I have the Duratrax Oynx 235 - happy with it. However I wish I would have bought the Duratrax Oynx 245 for only $20 bucks more. The 245 will charge two batteries at once.
I have,
- 3 - Duratrax 25C 5000mah 2S
- 2 - SPC Racing 50C 8200mah 2S
However only a single charger.... so it would take me 7.5 hours to charge all, going to have to upgrade that!
Run mine in the snow all the time with no rusting. When I come in I give it a rinse, then shake off, then towel dry, then sit in front of an electric heater for about 30 minutes.
Hey - would suggest that it is the temp, around freezing or below I notice my run times drop fairly quickly. Especially if running in snow, with the extra resistance as well as it packing around the...
WOW!!!! Awesome job!!!
Just put mine on... Front went on with no problems, took about 5 minutes. The rear, well they took a bit longer (10 minutes) - ended up flipping over the backer plate and the screw caught. It did...
Summit!!!!!!
You do not have to, however if you remove some of the fins on the rear battery vents you can run the wires through them. Easier to connect and install that routing out the sides...
Can not see the turbo fan being better that a standard heat sink and fan combo. As the turbo fan would be running off of the motor itself - they faster you go the more drag on your motor, which in...
Looks good! The shocks are not supposed to come all of the way back up after being compressed. The truck after being compressed should come up so the front arms sit just above level. It looks like...
Looks Good! Can you list all of the parts you had to use to do the transformation?
Yes, however the SPC batteries mentioned above are what a lot of people run - they are really the best choice in my opinion... And a lot less $$
I have the JConcepts Ford Raptor body and would not buy again. It is wider than the Proline one and the front tires rub with almost any shock compression. Also have not found it to be very...
I have the one with telemetry on order right now - I called them when ordered and they said that they are replacing the one without telemetry with the new one with telemetry. Just selling the one...
Depends on whether you plan to purchase the telemetry connections down the road... But they are the same price so why not get the one with the mounts?
The Velineon motor can get pretty hot when running Lipos - on 2S mine runs around 135 - 140 degrees. Meaning you can touch the motor for 4 - 5 seconds before it starts to really hurt. The motor is...
Charged mine from the cut off point and put 5200mah into them. If I used a separate LVA and ran them down to 3.4 volts should increase the run times. Although the snow I am running through is 5-6...
