Thanks mate, I treat rebuilding RCs like trying to build Lego from mixed bricks. If you don’t get organised before hand it takes twice as long ?

steephill Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I like the takeaway tubs with lids for nuts, bolts o rings etc. Bit easier than routing through plastic bags. Organisation is essential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) How are people getting on with these? They seem a decent price on RC Mart, but the UK spares and stock situation doesnt inspire confidence? Looking at one with a 20-25kg servo and a Castle Monster Mamba X Sensored 2650kv combo on 3S?

Candyman Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Ive run mine a couple of times now, got a 2200kv motor on 4s and it handles and drives like a top heavy understeery buggy. I thought it might be a bit better than my stampede 4x4 but that thing handed like **** in camparison and on 4s it was undrivable. The proline is heavier and much more planted, ive made a wheelie bar to catch it when I dont manage to get off the power quick enough, other than that its good fun! On tarmac you can actually drive it, rather than the stampede was just trying not to flip it over or crash all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even CML the distributor are out of stock? If Im going to have the hassle of importing parts/the actual truck, wouldnt an Arrma represent better value?

Candyman Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 well I guess that would depend on how much your going to break it The bits I got so far were form A-main, just to replace worn bits, not broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ran my PMT for the first time in about 6 weeks the other day - forgot what a fun lil truck this thing is! Lost another roll bar link - good job they include a few spares! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost another roll bar link - good job they include a few spares! It really is a great truck, not without a few issues. Mine is currently awaiting the B2 hinge pin holder, then I'll be out bashing with it again I've replaced A1 and B1 twice, C1 once and B2 once... Not had any other issues, I swapped out the servo saver to the metal one and cranked it down, killed a savox 1256 servo, and I installed the metal spur.

J.K Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Nice vid pal - love how controllable this thing is in the air! Are you still ordering your parts from the states? That's my only real gripe so far - the waiting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still ordering your parts from the states? That's my only real gripe so far - the waiting! I was ordering from amain one part at a time to avoid customs, shipping is cheaper than import. But the last 3 hinge pin holders have been from modelsport/CML. Takes almost as long to arrive so I'll probably end up ordering from amain in the future.

Finally got hinge pin holder B2, now to put the front end back together and punish it some more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveGT84 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Seriously considering one of these as I’m sick of breaking my stampede 4x4 EVERY time o take it out. These things appear to take a bashing a lot better than the traxxas. What are the drive shafts like as I’m forever breaking them in my stampede on 2s!

DaveGT84 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I’d seen that in the vids I’ve been watching. Still, nothing is indestructible but it looks like these take a hell of a lot more abuse than the stampede 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bix Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Having owned both the Proline takes way more abuse in my experience. The Stampede was heavily upgraded and still wasn’t as durable as the Pro MT. As Oscar said it’s not perfect but apart from the hinge pin holders you should be good as gold ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveGT84 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Sounds like a better bet to me. Would expect better from traxxas given the prices they charge 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candyman Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Just noticed the tiny bearing in the steering rack had broken, which is probably a good thing as it had a load of slop in it, so I made some tight little delrin bushes, no slop now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
