atom3624 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I think mine - if it EVER gets going (it will) - will theoretically hit 55-60 mph!!! I think the TXT is 'safe' to 30-35 mph tops - just not stable enough to hammer at high speeds like I can in my LST2 and EMaxx - it'll be fun!!! Hopefully not too many moments, and !!! Al.

johninderby Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I have this mental image of a TXT somersaulting at 60mph with wheels and various bits flying off at every bounce. Should be spectacular. Hmmmm.........will a Bigfoot body fit an XO chassis? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryTXT1 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yea I can't see it stay upright much beyond 35, is amusing tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryTXT1 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Think I need to get a savage flux or something. Now managed to snap off the damper mounting on front axel guard jumping of a 3 inch high ramp... Also stripped the rear belt on my ta04. Bad day for me...

johninderby Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Not that fast but for toughness the Carisma GT10DT desert truck is amazing. Imagine performing jumps as in the video with a TXT. No way. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0GDZXxPAqrg I have one although it's been modified a bit and a lot of fun in a pint sized package.

BryTXT1 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Haha Don't get me wrong I love my txt but it would have broke within the first 3 seconds of that video. And if I'd got to the point of driving it off the roof the resulting shrapnel blast probably would have killed me.. Think one day when I can afford a decent basher monster truck that handles speed I might turn the txt into bit of a crawler I dint think it would handle speed too well but if gets closer than 15ft from a wall something snaps or falls off...

BryTXT1 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Not very impressed with ally steering knuckles, the massive plastic spacer's are pretty gash, bit pointless having ally knuckles if half of its plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 That doesn't sound very good. You paid for ally not plastic. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryTXT1 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 GPM ones. Getting ****** off trying to get steering rods fitting nice and clean and steering all tracking straight. Patience is not something I do well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BryTXT1 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 After fixing it all was going well until there was a loud pop followed by a puff of smoke, think it was the little voltage meter on the esc imploding I was joking about selling the truck but it's now really starting f me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BryTXT1 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Took the knackered esc off, took matching one off my ta04. Put it the txt wired all up cable tiered up neatly, connected battery and transmitter up, rolled 3 inches forward and then that esc imploded in a puff of smoke, really have no idea what the hell is going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Why not get a Maxx (E-Maxx) ESC, run it 4S LiPo with 2x 550 cans? That's what my Juggernaut runs on, and it's fine. Al.

BryTXT1 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Might look into it if it doesn't sell, just annoyed with both esc's blowing and the pain in ass it is to try claim on warranty. Impulsive sale.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
