I think I agree...I see no need for a aluminum shock body........ Im using 50wt front AND rear with aluminum caps.....(havent bent a shaft yet or Id have the hardened and coated ones)....stock...

you can get good 3s for $100 or less...( I bought a venom 3s 5400mah for $55 on fleebay...some say stay away from them, but its still going strong)......as far as how much more speed? Night and day...

why are nimhs easier? I have both and the Lipo is just as "easy" as the nimh.......PLUS it never gets hot....its lighter...longer run time.....and a 2s has as much power as my 8.4 nimhs....we dont...

that 86 wont work well on the 4x4....i put one on but it was a PITA...and was ruined after about 3 batteries through it

I broke a stock plastic output yoke after only 3 times to the track.....Ill be going with the MIP CVDs next time

I just traded a vxl 2wd (buggy wheels and backslash conversion) for a 4x4...and its night and day difference for me....the 4x4 is hands down a better/faster truck...on the track

I used the Helfire on the one I built

I was about to say I seen 4 of them hanging in the LHS yesterday :lol:

sorry....thats no where near 80mph....watch the SECOND pass in my vid (on the street) and it looks about as fast this...and my GPS phone app only said 49mph (starts @ .28 in the vid)...

interested to hear if anyone has tested it also.....might change mine before the plastic takes a dump on me

if they came stock Id just take them off...they are ugly....period

it depends on your GPS...mine said this was only 49mph (second pass on road) seemed alot faster...later the same gearing went almost 10mph faster....27-76 gearing...

youll love it...I did burn one up and sent it back to Traxxas...they sent another free of charge!

DO WANT!!

the only difference is he stole the form from an existing...

I went outside and ran the truck for 20 minutes straight at a low speed in my 4x4....low detection never kicked in (kept blipping the throttle every minute or so) so I figured I might throw it on...

agreed...great costumer service!! I had to send a esc back to them...once another new one was returned it was bad from the very start....smoke as soon as you plug it in.....sent it back....2 weeks...

lol...yeah...I know....I did actually do it on my old xl5/stock motor after I bought a vxl for it a while back...I putted around and gave it all she had for about 2 seconds at a time to see if it...

dang...thats cheap too...and guess it would be plenty loud enough to hear ...say 60 ft away?

no idea...but a 19t pinion and a 54t spur will haul in my 4x4....seems faster than my 2wd vxl did both with the same 3s .....2wd with 27-76 48p...but havnt thrown a GPS on to make sure yet

Edited...

I actually use lipos for my 4x4 vxl (3s) ......what voltage alarm are you using?

thanks alot guys...I really appreciate the advice .....Ill look into the LHS doing these different (or return it saying it only ran 8 minutes) and get some promatched batteries ......
and I had to...

what do you think is our problem? it it just because of it being new? the truck rolls great with no resistance....motor its about a week old and runs strong??


THANKS...I was just looking at...

interesting.....these are hump packs but guessing the same problem? He practiced a couple days before with a 19t and it got really hot...with the 15t I can still touch the motor and esc with no...
