Yeah I’m finding 2s is perfect for where I’m running off road, I’m still on the stock 15t pinion as well. I dare say I’d probably run 3s on the tarmac though 👍🏻 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post UKRobster Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 . I had to replace the antenna on my FS-GT3-B. I think someone (children) had been holding the transmitter by the antenna and it had broken the pins that hold it together. Quite pleased as my soldering skills aren't the greatest. All working ok so far 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BigGinge Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2022 Done for now. I’ve stuck the bigger 4.7” wheels back on to try out at EAST tomorrow but suspect they might be a bit too big when it comes to the crawling courses so will probably swap them back out for the class 1 hyrax clones while I’m there. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanveer Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Took the xtr out for a quick blast with some friends this morning, one of them picked up a sketer yesterday and I was disappointed to say the least. Was running 4s and hardly got the front wheels on the air. Glad I didn't order one myself 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it lol It is insanely fast! I wish you could still get these little guys. They handle so well and the plastics are pretty good quality so they just bend and bend back. I’ve also ditched the stock steering system for a metal gear servo and no servo saver. Edited November 8, 2022 by Hyper7ftxoutlaw 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2022 Its being a very stressful 3 weeks, financially planning my mums early retirement due to ill health, organising a surprise 30th for my girlfriend and just general life stuff. Not touched an RC for weeks, maybe even month so I just wanted to go to the middle of nowhere with the crawlers. Also tried the Maxx out since shimming the diffs. Seems much better. Servo sounds rough mind #traxxasservoslol 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ag100 Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2022 Had the Lasernut and the Lunchbox out today, Kids drove the Lunchbox, (had to turn the speed down on it for them). Two very different cars, but great fun. The rear LEDs did not survive, snapped off where the wire goes into the led, will look at another way of holding them in place. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BigGinge Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) I had a fun day out at east anglia scale trail where I managed to empty three 5200mah packs in the trx4 and almost lose one of my boots to some mud, twice. Can’t say I’ve been to any other organised trail events before but I suspect I’ll be trying to get back to this one next year if I can. EDIT: forgot to mention that the bigger 4.7” tyres didn’t seem to cause any more issues with rubbing on the shell than the class 1 wheels so they ended up staying on the truck all day.

Popular Post Fat Freddy Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2022 Made a shortie flatbed for the Element Enduro. About £4 worth of aluminium, a sheet of styrene and some dodgy fabrication skills. Really can’t decide what I want to do with this truck. Not 100% happy with it, but it definitely helps with approach/exit angle. Hoping it might look better after a couple of coats of matte black. Might add a roll bar too? 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
