I get what your saying, my sons only 10 and not really into the really rocky tech stuff where I can see the brushless lack of slow speed control would be an issue. Some of the places we go the ground is a bit loose and steep so the locked diffs helped it get up and the faster motor does a good job for what he likes. I found an issue with the front diff cups so I’m going to run it today and if the cvd’s don’t bend I’ll be happy if they do then I’ll unlock the diff and go from there. He enjoys it and I get to fix it it the shed. Thanks for your input, everything helps [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Think I may have found the problem, when I’ve locked the front diff you have to strip everything out to fit the lock block even the c-clip that retains the cvd cups. I noticed they were popping out and were at a bit of an angle so I’ve glued them into to locking block for now. I’ll order a set so I can but it back to open diff if need be. I going to give it a run today see if the cvd’s bend now the cups are secured. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve noticed the slow speed control isn’t as good with the brushless setup but my son likes how fast it is. I just need to set it up so it’s a reliable all rounder if that means unlocking one or both diffs so be it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I locked the diffs because when we take it on rocky or steep ground it wasn’t very good on the brushed system. When I locked them it climbs so much better, like I said I’m new to all this so any advise is appreciated. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I’m new to the site and the rc hobby. I got my son a ftx outlaw brushed which he loves. Only had a few issues so far chassis plate rear arm holder front cvd and front suspension arm holders. As the brushed motor has dies I’ve upgraded to a Absima brushless motor and esc system with a 2s lipo and locked front and rear diffs with diff blocks. First run out snapped right rear arm and left arm holder, changed them and next day just driving round a rugby field both front cvd’s are bent like bananas. Really confused 🤷‍♂️ any ideas what can cause this?
