My son hasn’t broken teeth off his yet though? His driving isn’t so aggressive mind. I find it’s the landings that cause the damage to mine. I think the tyres I have are too heavy and grippy for the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wltoys 12402-a Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 So was going to put a 3s in my brushless vantage but didn't want to do the deffs in so went for a 25t pinion instead of the standard 23t in out the box battery charged will see if it any faster hopping for about 33 to 35 mph ,,Out box it does 28 I will see in abit 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmoz7610 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) The carnage, vantage and bugsta are all the same, only real difference is the wheels and body, if u have a brushless then it will run on 3s out the box. The carnage is prone to breaking bits tho on 3s but I'd say mine is hittin around 35/40mph, will have to tape an old phone to it with a GPS tracking thingy to see jus how fast lol I can keep up with a 8s xmaxx on a 1amp charge lol Edited August 28, 2021 by Madmoz7610 Spelling mistake lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Carnage is pretty rapid with the 3S, not had a race with my X-Maxx, but it will be pretty close! He charged his traxxas 4s battery's on a 1amp charge, took 12 hrs as he's only got 1 charger lol not sure if it gave it more power but it lasted about 45mins bashin it around the park. He usually charges at 4.5amp and that lasts about 25mins, my carnage on 3s can keep up with it but takes a feathered throttle to stop the wheelies, he's gettin a hardened steel high speed spur gear in a few days so I doubt il even get close to it then, but still won't be as fast as his kraton!! That things silly fast and easily hitting 60+mph over takes the xmaxx in a wheelie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be genuinely interested - the Chinese parent website used to say the chassis are not compatible, but I looked a long time ago and don’t have time to look back now. Whilst the overall length is the same the wheelbase is different and I’d figured that was the difference in the chassis. Maybe the wheelbase difference comes from the widened arms? I truly don’t know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else should fit it tho 🤞but my Montana will be used more when it finally arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Having had a Quanum Vandal and currently owning a Hooligan and Carnage I can assure you that the chassis for all 3 are different. It is possible to put Carnage arms on a Vantage/Vandal chassis and make a wide track buggy. I think someone has done it and posted it in this very thread.

Yes these are the ones off ebay, think I paid 17.99 for them, they wobble a fair bit but look amazing, i advise to locktight them an let it set before fitting them as they come loose very easily. But they do look good fitted especially with the servo saver up front an Ali arms an hub on the rear lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain .R Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I got the same ones on mine I also changed the suspension holders as well as the plastic ones snapped /came loose . They look fantastic. Your right about lockite them as the screws come loose. Didnt lose any as I seen on here if you put a screw in to alloy you lockite it so I was checking and found them loose . Good tip from you guys. Does that apply to carbon as well ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmoz7610 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I tend to locktight everything because I'm tired of goin over the entire truck after every trip out, lost the steering arm as I forgot to do that after the rebuild I recently did, jus lucky I had these arms but they won't be stayin on as they have worse wobble than standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmoz7610 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Jus put a 550 CST weight in the rear shocks on the carnage, did have 250 CST in them before as that's all I had, an the difference is night and day. The 250 was too sloppy and the under side was hittin the floor on hard acceleration even on 2s, now it's stayin pretty level, biggest test is gona be on Saturday when I'm jumpin. Also has anyone else broken a wheelie bar? Mine snapped where the wheel screws to the mount so gotta buy a new one, also has anyone got the Zorro front bumper fitted to there carnage? Jus want to know where is screws into as lookin at gettin one of them on my next order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
