My Christmas present to myself.😇 7.5t brushless. 2s. HPI 1/8 Fifteen52 wheels.

Yes mate.

I have a Hobbywing QuicRun 120a ESC a connected to a Turnigy Trackstar 7.5t Sensored motor and no matter what I do (apart from switch the motor wires and go sensorless) the motor always goes much faster in reverse. I have calibrated the Throttle range as per the manual in every way I can think of, with the TX channel 2 reversed and normal, calibrated the throttle reverse instead of forward. It always ends up with the reverse much faster? My TX is a Flysky FS-GT3B.

I agree. My old Slash was the same. That's what annoys me about Traxxas and why they have more upgrades than most other brands, they need them because they are made weak. But like you say, with new brands like Arrma they have to step up their game. 'Bout time.

I loved the idea of my old Traxxas EMAXX but in practice it broke every single time I took it out and with minimal abuse. If this new MAXX is tough I may have to get one.

Thanks, does it has working diff gears or is it locked?

I need an open diff to complete a project but locked or unlocked will do. Thanks.

Thanks lads, after all it was the receiver that managed to unbind itself. Cheers.

So I came to the end of a run on Lipo(light on green), switched to red on the ESC for NiMH, and ever since get nothing. The ESC lights up as normal, I have tried fresh Lipo and NiMH batteries and switching through different modes on the ESC but still nothing. I drove the truck to a stop, so it's unlikely to be a dead ESC, I must have done something weird to the ESC when I switch to NiMH mode, but what?

No, you're stuck with a "Touring Car" if you want this bodyshell. You may look at a 1/18 scale off roader chassis, but I think not even they will be anywhere near close enough.

Changed my mind. I'm keeping it.
