Well from what I know tooth for tooth the 3800kv will be faster than the 2400kv on 2s. My 3800kv castle motor tops out at about 30mph with a 14 tooth pinion. It is always an option to buy a second...

I like the new gtr shocks I just got. Very cool that i don't have to worry about spacers anymore. Y only complaint is the springs seem a little soft. I think I have blues in the front.

Well that lasted a long time, 5 minutes into my first run with new rpm a arms and shocks I broke a piece out of the a arm. Not even a highspeed crash like the last time. Must have just caught it at...

The hits just keep on coming. My truck took a bad bounce in my yard and bounced off a turtle statue. Snapped an a arm at the body, wish I would have checked the shock before I went to the hobby shop...

Get a torch my friend had the bearing carrier problem, heated them up with a torch and he said they pretty much fell out. Be very careful with the torch method. The aluminum heats and expands faster...

Any tips for removing a bearing from an aluminum motor mount or the aluminum bearing carriers? I tried pushing on it but it didn't even budge.

I just finished putting rpms on my truck, have no idea how they will perform. I am a very light basher and I am not planning on racing. They are a little thicker than stock so I hope they hold up. I...

Kinda bummed I rolled my truck one too many times on the pavement I suppose. Snapped the end off the rear camber link and the top off the bearing carrier. I thought it was kinda weird it snapped both...

The esc has a slow blinking red light when the low voltage protection is activated, and it drops to around 50% power I believe.

Gearing, heat sinks and fans. I think gearing and throttle control play the biggest roll in temps getting high.

I never even tried soldering my own stuff so you got me beat there lol. Hopefully it is that simple to sort out.

Could the low C rating be affecting his speed? I was told when I bought my castle setup that 25c on a 5000mah battery was about the minimum to go. The esc and motor just can't pull the juice it needs...

Just starting to get warm I could hold my hand on it, but it was also only 20 degrees out so that is not accurate at all. I would imagine it will be pretty warm in the summer. I was doing about 10 to...

Yes it is on 2s. I haven't talked myself into a 3s battery yet lol.

Took my truck out to a parking lot today, my phone says I hit 31mph with a 14t pinion. Not bad at all I would say but is it possible that my phone being taped to the top of the body affected my top...

Well then go with the ultimate there are a lot of things I would like to upgrade that the ultimate already comes with. except for my motor/esc I am waiting for stuff to break before I buy new parts.

I used lexan and double stick tape as well I will have to get on a computer and post some pictures.
As of right now I have 14/54 gearing for it. I am waiting to see what the temps look like before...

The servo wires being so tight is exactly why I didn't buy it today. I did however walk out with a higher C rating battery. How did you mount your esc to the chassis?

I wish I would gave saved uo a little more and got the ultimate, but I am more than happy with my regular slash 4x4. I would also consider if you want to race or bash it. I feel like the lcg chassis...

Yes I have programed it. the way the box is designed the holes don't line up in the location and even if they did the wires would exit the box in a weird location no matter how I turn it.

I forgot...

Alright I saw in Nother post that the field link doesn't work with the monster 2 yet but if it doubles as a usb adapter that is worth it. I found a reciever box listed under the slash 4x4 parts on...

Pretty sure he meant 2s is the sweet spot of a 4000kv motor.

Ok seems easy enough, Thanks for that link. Anyone know how to relocate the reciever box it is pressed up tight to the esc and I am worried I might damage or melt something. Field link or the castle...

Well I pulled the trigger on this combo. Took me a few hours to get it all put together butit runs now. I lost my ability to wheelie on carpet and it did that with the stock motor so I am a bit...

Truck would have been 30 days old yesterday. I plan on calling traxxas tonight to see if they can replace it.
