It was actually so easy

Only took 10 minutes for 2

**kdvanb** · 01-12-2013 08:16 PM

I went out and noticed this
My rpm a arms are somewhat grinded away by my driveshafts since I had so much camber at the rear
Oops..

**seanycool** · 01-12-2013 08:34 PM

wait, lightbulb, i must have too much camber in the rear- maybe that's why there's a notch cut away on my rpm a arms.

Are you going to run stampedish tires on it?

**kdvanb** · 02-06-2013 05:05 PM

I think I'll do 2.2/3.0 trenchers or badlands
Maybe 2.8
I'm not quite sure

First thing I need is to make it waterproof again
My receiver box is... Broken

**DiggerPede** · 02-07-2013 11:48 AM

Reason i'm asking what size treads you plan on running. If you decide on 2.8's (stampede) i'd go with the 3800kv motor, it would be less heat to worry about (you know that already). Now staying with SC tires the 4600 would be a screamer!!! Just my input.

**kdvanb** · 02-12-2013 08:31 PM

This truck will not be touched for along time

I will posts updates occasionally to see what's happening
I hope to get a new motor and esc in awile

**kdvanb** · 03-18-2013 08:38 PM

Well during vacation in Florida we headed to the hobbytown USA in Melbourne
Saw a mmp for 80$ and the 4600 for 80$ but my dad said that he doesn't want me spending more money..
So Im gonna try out a traxxas stinger

Any ideas on gearing??
Thanks

**orca44** · 03-18-2013 09:43 PM

Too bad you couldn't get the mmp and 4600 kv motor.. would have been a real nice package

It would have been..
But he liked the idea of me buying a 20$ motor better

Oh well.. Hopefully it doesn't die.. If it does I'm not gonna dump anymore into the motors..

Just wait a few months.. Then I'll buy some stuff and my dad will be fine with it..
I've spent 500$ in the past month.. Need to chill out for awile

LOL most of the time I buy all my big ticket items when my dad is gone..
Fun stuff

**kdvanb** · 04-12-2013 06:52 AM

Okay so...
My stingr died.. Within like 2 minutes 👎😔

So I might just put the vxl in it 👍

**epracine** · 04-12-2013 08:27 AM

Woah that's cheap!
Would they ship to Canada though?
I doubt it...

I think I'm gonna just wait till my birthday in 3 months to get the system

**kdvanb** · 05-20-2013 07:23 PM

UPDATE
So its all running again

I pulled my vxl from my slash 4x4
and took my2075 servo out of my dads rustler

the 2075 is really weak
I think its on its way out or im just used too my fast savox servo in my 4x4 or maybe even both

so that being said.. any suggestions for a new servo?

more pics

Also.. how many things of shoo goo should I need?
