Stormbringer Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 When you select a picture or a vid and you click on it isnt there a menu pops up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a thing that comes up along the bottom, sometimes it will embed the image in the forum and then the next time it doesnt and i have no idea what im doing wrong as im doing the same thing each time 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) Since i managed to totally destroy 2 tyres (i did wonder what the weird noise was) which i didnt notice till i got home, i was contemplating another pair of original tyres but decided that would be a stupid idea as i have had to glue them all back on and 2 tyres managed to destroy themselves in 1 1/2 months and another of the fronts i think the foam has snapped and is all bundled up in a part of the wheel some others would be a fantastic idea, so i went for these whilst i wait on being notified on some magmas, i may think these are spot on and not bother with magmas, but so far on just how they feel and look i think these will do nicely Edited November 9, 2023 by wolfie1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Do you know weight of these Louise Pioneers compared to stock? Have you been using self righting or got the foams soaking wet, as those stock tyres didnt last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 You know i dont think they are much heavier than the stock tyres, i have tried the self righting when i first got it but not since and as far as the foams being soaking, no idea i have never gone fjording with it, if they were soaking its just with normal driving about. Fingers crossed these will last longer, i have a set of louise tyres on another model and they are doing well as far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second any moisture gets in (which lets face it, its England) thats what causes the foams to get out of shape and ghe change im centrifugal force is what blows the tyres imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 If you're talking about the vent hole in the rim? Block it, all mine are and I've never noticed a detrimental effect from doing so. Don't be afraid to add an extra bead of glue around the tyres, leave it to fully cure in the sun for 24hrs and then do the other side. Definitely helps, I think. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 Today as soon as i plugged my batteries in before pressing the on button on the esc all the cooling fans came on and the servo powered up, and the red mode led is blinking to go through all the 3 modes but the button does nothing so i am assuming the esc has gone bad, so a max 6 is required, (unless someone knows better) but i have a question in regards to it on the xmaxx the 3 wires are coloured but hobbywing has a,b and c which wire goes where? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Another VXL 8s esc bites the dust. You just place motor wires randomly into the esc. If the motor spins in wrong direction then just swap any two wires. It's called magic 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) So postie arrived today with a lovely thing for me I got it all fitted in and am excited to see what difference it will do in the power department, so here’s hoping for the weekend only down side now though is that i have lost the speed, rpm, battery voltage all all that cool other stuff that used to be displayed with the original traxxas esc Edited November 18, 2023 by wolfie1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the encouragement, i think i am going to buy the telemetry expander with the gps module and the voltage sensor to get some of the features back as i quite liked seeing how fast it went when i had it out 21 hours ago, Kpowell911 said: Itll be worth it for the performance upgrade I promise 🙂 It is the max 6 v3 160a version i needed, as i am seeing there is a 200a version as well now?
