Yeah, take along a good cameraman! :)

The 450kv difference will be a good 20-30mph increase given that its the same vehicle with the same gearing on the same number of cells. Remember the 2650 is a 1512 while the 2200 is a 1515. If you...

I built 2 Savage Flux's. One with a 1717 and another with a 1518 (later swapped for a 1520.) The one with the 1717 had way more torque but the 1518 Sav had the higher top speed. I actually had to...

If you're strictly going for speed runs you can get away with the 2650 on 6s. The 2200 would be a better motor all-around if you plan to do more than just speed runs. I ended up with a 1518 on mine...

Calm down buddy! Haha, j/k. The 'Stangs look good!

If you're installing the Traxxas aluminum CVDs you will have to open your diff and take it apart. Stock fluid should be 30k.

Ouch, $25 for a 10-pack after shipping. Did you get a 10-pack too? Want to sell me 4? =)

That's funny, I was at the skate park too when it happened. The GPM's shafts are actually well built but the threaded part is the weak link.

It's been done. You might be able to find some pics here on the forum from awhile back. That 1/10 servo probably weighs 2x more than a micro servo. You can get a 60oz KO PDS3101 and still be a lot...

I'd skip the aluminum posts too. I don't know how hard you bash but I managed to crack my JC body on all four holes this weekend... on the first bash session.

A better option would be using the...

Yup, but you'll need the Revo posts unless you want your body sitting high.

I don't know how hard you guys are bashing them but I broke one of my GPM axles over the weekend. I doubt the sliding shaft will actually bend but I did manage to snap the threaded part of the axle....

Here's a little video from this morning:

You don't see it but my battery popped out about 15 times after every hard landing. I have the open battery...

Ok so I found out the radar I was using definitely isn't calibrated right. It's giving me a 68mph reading when in reality I'm only getting 56mph. Lol. Still not bad. I took the little guy out for...

I think you can squeeze more out of it! I'm lucky to have a 1500ft parking lot at work so I have a lot of room to play with and ease into top speed. I'm thinking back and I really think the lower...

I can't find a picture but I had the Jconcepts body and left the windows clear. I also left the raised part of the hood clear as well as the bed and sprayed those with tint. From far away it looked...

Yeah that's a problem. With a bigger bore shock you get a bigger diameter, meaning the shocks need to be raised, which is trouble for us running upgraded motors. It's got me wondering why only the...

I've been using the front and rear aluminum chassis braces and they've held up so far. If you want to use an aluminum ones the STRC mounts worked great when I had them.

Besides the knuckles it could be your steering assembly. On my stock setup I could turn my wheels and not move the steering arm at all. I run the aluminum steering assembly and have very minor slop...

I've actually been having fun on 3s so I might keep it at that. How's that 1.5y? on 3s that may be the perfect motor for me.



Meebert, one of my buddies was lucky enough to get one of these a...

I'm still around! Keepin an eye on your thread =) I did speed runs for the first time last week. On 3s 32/45t gearing I hit 68mph... that's with the Commando body on with no weights or front spoiler!...

Haven't been doin much since the weather's been pretty bad here. I did do a little chassis work to the MERV though:


Gave up the Commando body to go back to the MERV setup...

+1 I've had one for almost 3 years now. Awesome charger and it's AC/DC

I have both. I turned my other Summit into a MERV. You do get more clearance with the Summit. But it is a mini so it's not like I can do any serious offroading with either setup. I still run Summit...

That's one sick build! Had to bookmark all the good info you had in your link. Thanks for sharing that with us, Shonen!

Traxxas take notes =P
