I think the size is less important when updating to 1/8 as compared to moving to a true 1/8 scale driveline. Bigger and stronger diffs and shafts would be most important in my opinion. Also if you...

Gens ace also makes some good packs. That's what I use
I agree go electric. Bit make sure you go straight to brushless. Brushed is slow an unreliable, they get hot easy and burn up often. If you do choose electric make sure you research chargers. DO NOT...
I'd buy one but I think it would have to be much bigger than 1/8 scale. At least a 1/5 or 1/4 could be good
The wheelbase will be 10mm shorter if you buy the rear arms. I've been using them for about a year and they haven't caused any problems for me. Plus they're extremely durable. They did cause the...
I've got a tmaxx and a BL EREVO, both of which I run in my yard and up and down my front street. At WOT the whine coming from the brushless motor isn't all the much quieter than the whine that comes...
Although this car is cool I have no interest on it whatsoever... I rarely drive any of my cars on the road and cannot justify spending that much on a car for that use. I'm sure it won't be long...
I highly doubt it will be anything 5th scale. 8th maybe but definitely not 5th, $800 is not enough for a fifth scale especially of it is electric which many people are hopIng for. Hpi's and losi's...
Depending on the battery you're using and how hard you're driving, I believe that it would be possible that you are pulling too high of amps. The packs may not be able to support the current draw...
Definitely love driving my trucks in the snow. I've never driven my tmaxx in the winter though. In Canada it's never really warmer than -10c during Canadian winters and I'm not the greatest at tuning...
Those look awesome. Any ideas if they'll be making the same graphic for the 1/16?
You have to be careful with the steel shafts. If you're running the stock summIt arms, which are extended compare to the ones on a merv, the cvd's will pop out a lot. If you replace the rear arms...
I'm all for using crossover parts to make things cheaper and have more availability. The only thing about the releases os how Traxxas presents it to the people. Right on the website it says "NEW!"...
Thanks guys. I had no idea I needed a different harness and switch. I thought I just had hook up the pack to the stock switch.
But how do I hook up the switch? Mounting it really isn't a problem I'm just unsure how to plug it in. I don't want to have to plug it directly into the receiver so I don't have to take of the cover...
I bought a hump pack after running AA's til now. I really don't know how to install it. I've got a 4908 maxx could someone help me?
It's not too hard to switch really, much easier than it is on say, a mamba monster
Do you dry it off after hosing it down? There is a possibility of rust and corrosion that could have created a binding some where. Check that first, I'd say
There probably is a way you could mount that ESC but I have no clue why anyone would do that. An MMM can be overkill in a full size erevo or summit, it would completely shred every part o re little...
You could look into trying to get an HPI ESC which is a rebranded castle. They make a few of them now that are waterproof. I'm not sure if they have a waterproof mmp version bit there is a sv2...
That look sweet and really weird. Let us know how it runs please.
Thanks guys. I'll probably be getting that charger then, since I like the simplicity and small size of the built in power supplies
Quick question for those using the passport, I know it's an old thread. Does it have a storage mode charge and does it discharge packs? I couldn't seem to find this info anywhere
Do you mean center drive shafts? Because if you want shafts from the Traxxas makes a great set of steel cvd's. As long as you run the non extended rear arms there are not problems. A center diff will...
Great choice on packs. I bought some gens ace a few weeks ago and they're great. I wasn't sure if 4s would be enough speed for me but there is no need to worry. I can almost do standing backflips on...
