Deafty, it is a bit of a mission to control at high speed, but doesnt last long enough for to get enough practice Video due in 3-4 weeks once i have returned fro holiday,,,,,,, promise

Nice one, thanks mydoddy69, trying to order them, just battling to find a dealer ebay is good, just searched the part number http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRAXXAS-SLASH-4X4-FAST-LANE-MACHINE-ALUMINUM-DIFF-CUP-FLM26030-/201147967808?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ed55a6940 thanks again

gear ratio is currently 20/54 i have tried 25/36 the mod 1 upgrade but it didnt like it, found it got hot very quickly and struggled. i was worried that the esc or motor might burn out so i just reverted back to the 25/54 ratio which o find most fun

Tug, where have you seen ally diff caps, i have been looking but cannot find any

Noj, yes sorry my bad for forgetting who it was. thank you

i have been wanting to post speed run videos and will definitely do so, i have ordered my set of xo-1 tyres, i am away on holiday for 2 weeks next week so when i return i will be all set to do some serious speed runs and post them on this forum

It runs great with only one of the 3s lipos, and good for general bashing about on ramps and in the woods, but when i add the second 3s lipo and take it on long flat straight at full throttle it just falls apart. Its a different animal and incredibly stupid quick, over powered to say the least, i have upgraded dozens of parts, trying to find parts that are indestructible. I believe i am almost there and hell bent on getting this truck to be stable at high performance. someone else in this forum advised me to get the xo-1 tyres and i have been putting it off but admittedly they are the only option, also with less traction it should be kinder on the parts.

So i tried to get my pede to run full throttle again with castle mamba 2, and 6s lipos, (2x 11.1 5000mah) It barely lasted 3 secs at full throttle when the front tyre exploded and the rear diff housing nuts shredded off. This is the second time one of my HPI phaltline 17mm tyres exploded, even after i had strapped them and used shoe glue to keep the strapping stuck. next step, invest in xo-1 and replace the diff housing. http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/30254-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/30253-tyre-exploded-at-full-throttle/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/30252-/

ok thanks i will try that

Hi, i have recently fitted a drift gyro to my traxxas stampede. The only safe place i could find to mount it was on some double sided foam next to the steering servo in front of the esc. or directly ontop of the servo itself. both places worked well however i am little concerned about it getting wet and need ideas of how to make it waterproof. Its too big to fit in the same waterproof box as the receiver. there is no room anywhere else on my pede to fit a second waterproof receiver box to house the gyro. I though about tying it in a small waterproof plastic bag or would it be idea to coat it shoo goo or is that just stupid? I would have to accept that the wires could not be removed and the settings could never be changed. any other ideas?

Mydoddy69, Yes, i am also running a mod 1 25t pinion with a 36t spur I was speed testing on a rugby field, the grass didnt feel too bad, but probably any resistance isnt good. The dust in the photo is from where i used my dremel to grind away slightly to allow the 25t pinion to fit. i did make sure it wasnt snagging on anything, i just didnt clean the dust. stock speeds with a velineon as you say are 20-45mph but with a castle 6s i should be getting about 60-80mph with a 54t spur and 20t pinion

http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/30162-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/30161-20140820-184958/ So my quest to build the fastest pede continues...... unsuccessfully As you can see the photos above, i received the 25t pinion and revo mod1 spur. i fitted it with a few slight modifications to my pede with a castle motor. I set out on a nice long flat grass straight near my house but i could immediately hear the motor was labouring, i kind of ignored it and began to pull the trhottle, after about 4secs the motor over heated and cut out. I waited about 5mins and tried again. this time one of my HPI phaltline tyres blew gggrrr So i am not sure if i should just give up and settle for the stock speeds of about 60-80mph I dont like the revo mod 1 gears, i think the motor works too hard and might burn it out I am also not sure what tyres to choose, i want something hard wearing, long lasting, I quite like the XO-1 tyres, there is no ballooning. i quite like the fact they are smooth, it might be more fun skidding around and less harsh on the motor. I really thought those HPI phaltlines were good and suprised they broke. not really will to try them again any other good tyres to consider?

I recently swapped my stock traxxas servo 2175 in my pede for a SAVOX SC-1268MG because everytime i hit something with the stock servo the gears stripped and the steering was as slow as hell. I swear by the SAVOX, fast as lightning, waterproof and i have bashed it hard and doesnt break. They were expensive at

RCButcher, That sounds like a really good idea. cheers

That is exactly the one i had, the pro line ford 150. i put so much effort into making it look good, and it felt much stronger than the original shell , but didnt last. http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/30092-2-4x4-pedes/
