It probably just made contact. Said there was a puff of smoke from underneath the esc. Also, he just came back from a week away.. Thing was covered in sand... The back had already started rusting. It was only a month old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it didn't last long!! My mate came along with his sons Carnage, while plugging everything in.. he potentially fried his receiver and ESC by plugging the balance cable into the receiver. (Noob) So I lent my carnage to his son... So my youngest and his kid accidentally have a head-on collision while I'm still getting sorted! Both came back with limp A Arms! My older lad manages to keep his running.. Just lost a few body pins...and after checking the body post had fractured. X Maxx... Just soaked it all up and laughed at the Carnages. Just a depressing 10 mins for the kids!! At least the repairs are cheap and I had spares! Gonna try again tomorrow! Poor carnages lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when u full throttle an then jam it backwards, the xmaxx hops about 3/4 feet an about 2feet high, looks awesome but breaks the spurs, the kraton 6s doesn't hop that much, wouldnt recommend doin with the carnage as it jus eats the diffs and don't even hop 🤣😂🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmoz7610 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Well carnage lasted the longest, only broke an already battered body post so installed the Ali upgrades lol, tomahawk didn run properly because bro didn fit the carb properly 🤣 xmaxx bits turned up so we fitted them an the battery's lasted all of 5 mins, so he's gona do a 1amp charge next time so should be an animal, and the kraton broke a brand new proline badland when ballooned 🤣😂🤣 reglued it a few times but didn last long.. so out of everything the carnage lasted the longest 🤠 the cheapest and smallest truck out lasted everything he had 🤣😂🤣 he wasn't happy so ordered bits for his 3 speed savage so will have to video next week's bash and we shall see if it can outlast the carnage 🤣😂🤠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So took my Carnage and my eldest sons Carnage out today as he was a bit disappointed on Friday with the short session. Ended up draining the batteries without any breakages or mishaps! The only thing is...his wheels are on their way out...one needs re-gluing and the hexes are looking a bit worn. So what is the recommended off road tyre replacement? These are what I'm looking at: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154220196248 130mm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332262184296 (only fronts available at min but my first choice) 105mm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174788057006 Far east option! 110mm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154343445989 120mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimto2000 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Also...has anyone got a Arrma Outcast? The shell looks like it will be a good fit to Carnage as I believe it has a similar wheel base. How good are the Arrma shells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmoz7610 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The losi tenacity wheels are what iv ordered, but ATM I'm looking at buyin a Carson Montana nitro truck, so gona retrofit some of the carnage bits onto that hopefully 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimto2000 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I've just ordered a set of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174873057682 Its a Chinese set which aren't to bad on cost...and are similar size to the stock carnage set. I was tempted for the Losi ones but they just seem too big for the Carnage! Will let you know how good they are when they arrive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimto2000 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Such a shame I ordered these the other day!! Just ordered 2 sets off Amazon at 10.09 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dilwe-Climbing-Wheel-Tires-Tyres/dp/B07ZKQ8536 Looks like they need glueing but only saw on another thread!!

Speedytriple Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I rebuild the girls carnage diffs with car CV grease. Lovely and smooth and stands up to high temps. Much better than the baby diarrhoea that they seem to use in the factory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedytriple Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Anyone advise the girls carnage keeps eating slipper pads after literally 5 mins bashing? It's got a hobbywing quickrun 120a esc and a 10.5t speed passion motor running 17t pinion so I wouldn't say its hugely over powered? Clutch was tightened all the way and backed off about 1/2 turn as I read on here is the way to go. Should I put new pads in and just whack it up all the way tight? Cheers guys.

Much better than the baby diarrhoea that they seem to use in the factory! I'm using high temp grease meant for a JCB as the baby diarrhea stuff is naff. Everything spins nice until I screw it back together checked the casing to see if it's catching anywhere an nothin obvious gona run rwd tomoz so if it handles ok IL leave it like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmoz7610 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Think iv sorted the diff out... Took some shims out of my old diff an added to the new one as for some reason it needed 3 on each side an not the 1 the spur side an 3 the other lol makes sense to me atm 🤠 still gona run rwd tomoz as can't be bothered to take it all apart tonite an fit it. IL try an get a video or 2 of it running and post to YouTube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redback Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) No car will consistantly go full beans to full stop and not wear the drive train, i run 4s through the ftx diffs they are fine, if they are failing its down the the driving imo But if your not enjoying it a mini maxx should do the trick, arrma arms are like glass i would avoid, the maxx will need rpm arms and upgraded drive shafts too or will be on the bench a fair bit.

Didn't say I was goin full beans to full stop 🤣 learnt from that mistake buddy. And my brother in law's got the xmaxx an kraton 6s, both bashed really hard compared to mine an the kraton jus laps it up, albeit the drive shaft keeps poppin out but it is old an battered lol the xmaxx has gone through a servo, spurs an wheels Iv found out what went in it, jus took it apart and realized the rear diff shaft where the slipper clutch is was really wobbly so assuming it's that as the bearing were the standard ones. Will rebuild it tomorrow now an give it a try, oh an I broke the wheelie bar clean off too so not gona bother with one again lol jus won't run 3s for a while. Carson Montana is due next week so the car age will be retired for a bit anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
