3s lipo problems

[KyleQ]

So iv been through four sets of half shafts,one set of mpi steel shafts.tryed the whole slipper clutch loose as loose can get.still broke it.I'm wondering if its bc I have the 17t pinion on it.if I go back to stock pinion would it still do that.I'm think the high speed messes with the wheel balance.

[TrickTraxxas3]

Try thicker diff fluid. It wont let 90% power go to 1 wheel. It will also make it more of a limited-slip diff feel.

[KyleQ]

Will do.wat would u recommend.it deff is a beast with that 3s.I hate to just not use it u know.

[TrickTraxxas3]

They say 75k in the rear is perfect.

Motor blew.this is really startin to get on my nerves.I should have never bought this thing.my old stampede was way better than this truck.

Motor blew and esp started smoking.from wat I hear traxxas stands by there products so I'm hoping I get new ones on warranty.

Traxxas deff has great costumer service. I feel a lot better knowing that my brand new truck is covered the way it is.THANK YOU!!!!

you must have had the same problem as me! my motor blew with-in 3 stock packs! but i didn't get mad cause traxxas IS THE BEST and they are fixing it right now as we speak! and the esc to. i will hopefully have it back by the end of the week or monday. I also am having some isusses with my diffs both of them are binding i think thats what caused the stress on my motor and caused it to stop. i love this truck cause its kinda a slash on steriods, oh and it can crawl to!

Oh and i forgot to mention that Traxxas are sending me all of the parts needed to fix the problem diffs, imput shafts, bulks, housing, bearings, All this X's 2 and its being shipped out today! YEAH TRAXXAS !!!!!!

[KyleQ]

So wat would have caused it to do that?did u use the stock pinion.and yeah I shouldn't have gottin mad like that but wat can I say.....

[P'noRcer]

hey we all have the right to get mad, it always happens at the wrong time!
as for what could of caused it i don't know i've never had a problem with any velineon motor like that before and i beat them pretty good as for this one it was pretty well takin care of, guess they don't like to be baby'ed!! lol
and yeah i was running the stock pinion, i didn't do anything to the thing before that happend!

[KyleQ]

Yea that's wat I was think.cuz I put the brushless system on my 2wd and like I'm pretty rough with that one.I was looking at one of the forums and they have a tmaxx driveshaft set up for it.I'm wondering if I should give that a shot.

[RC-Fan]

I believe 3s lipo is the cause of all those trobles, it's stressing out the parts and if you don't watch the temps your electronics will start to smoke like happened.

[KyleQ]

If I got the 2s would it still have a descent amount of power.or would it be the same as the stock battery?Bc when I ran the stock set up it stressed the driveshafts,not as bad but enough to worry about it.

[Shadow7g]

2s is fun. 3s is not so much fun because you break things and you also find yourself chasing the truck more when it flips over. LOL

[CdBurner]

Mine rocks on 2s. Love it!

[pedemon954]

3s IS fun hahaha but deff ended up doing some walking!!!

[KyleQ]

I wanna try the upgraded slipper clutch and see if that helps.cuz when I get on the throttle u can see the back tires spinning faster than the front

[pedemon954]

ill check that out next time I run it! Whats the diff in the upgraded?

[KyleQ]

its bring more power to the front wheels to even out the power.as well as a steel spur gear

[pedemon954]

well spoken dtnel
