Oh How Original Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Got my goodies! Heatshrink. 5.5 Castle bullets. 2 turnigy 3s 5000 lipos. 160A Turnigy ESC Turnigy Trackstar 6 pole 2650Kv motor Programming box for esc Vapextech 6.6v LiFe RX battery for the nitro. Ansmann wheels for street fun with the slash. Unfortunately, the vxl motor pinion doesnt fit the 5mm trackstar shaft. Anyone know/can link to the correct one? Took the vxl apart to see if the magnets had de-bonded. Found this!!! How long did you have to wait for the motor/esc?

Tug Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Soldered up some lipos that were meant to be new and unused, I'm not convinced. I'll give them a run and see how they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hahaha, early days yet. I need to get out to a good old bash and see what people are up to and what they use I wouldn't class a Wraith as a basher really, more of a rock racer, but if you want something along those lines, then it can only be a Summit... Check out Jangs (UltimateRC on Youtube) review and stuff of the Summit, he has an awesome video, the thing goes over anything! I need a Summit in my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Dewalt drill motor upgrade thingymabob and they're flying machines over anything they damn well want Had a Summit, did enjoy it, but not tough enough to really throw around. It's weight was it's Achilles heel. If you jumped it, you had to land it well, even then it would belly-flop. Land it badly and you'd break something. Bash it mildly and it was fine. Trouble is, at the time I owned mine, my bashing peers were throwing buggys and Truggy's around like nobody's business! I wanted to join in and it clearly wasn't gonna work. Use a Summit correctly and it'll reward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Dewalt drill motor upgrade thingymabob and they're flying machines over anything they damn well want I did the dewalt upgrade on mine that along with lipos makes it extra awesome. Like the admiral said its not a hardcore basher, but for trailing/climbing/going through water etc its perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I don't know... If you check out some videos on Youtube they can handle some fair bashing, especially with the motor upgrade for extra speed and a nice soft suspension set-up, I was amazed how little it tipped over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Budget Maxx burst a brand new bearing, damaging a brand new diff. Mightily peed off. Heard on another forum that Traxxas bearings aren't what they used to be, could be a serious issue if that's the case. Buy a car and replace all the bearings before you run it? I don't think so!
