Not as much. Here 2 old pics to compare. One with the pipe lagging , one with the original insert: You might want to gear down, since the wheels are even bigger than the Bugsta ones. Unless you want speed and stay on road. See that you get closed cell foam from B&Q. they don't soak with water. And the version that is not open on one side. Bad: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223999193686?hash=item3427647256:g:oIsAAOSww41esEDG Good: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273509911546?epid=22030367669&hash=item3fae760bfa:g:Z-MAAOSwLXNbxLm5

None so far. And I searched a long time for suitable wheels for the Carnage and Rustler. ( Apart from the blue alloy version, which I really do not recommend )

I was the one mentioning it. :-) Those wheels are fantastic. I even use them now on my Rustler. But.... The tire inserts are crap. The foam is just glued in a ring and if they get soaked the glue will likely dissolve. They are also too soft. I went to put in some pipe lagging made of closed cell foam. They are waterproof, not glued to a ring and quite a bit firmer. Firm enough for the wheels not to balloon anymore. Armaflex pipe lagging 76mm OD, 19mm thickness. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202623606704?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

I think speed runs don't cause so much stress to the slipper clutch then bashing around with constant speed changes. Provided that you accelerate calmly to reach max speed. I think the slipper clutch goes faster if you are constantly accelerating and braking. For mine I never found the right level of tightening the screw. Ended up tightening at full. Anything less and the clutch was gone after a few runs. I remember a post here long ago that mentioned either full tight or constant pad replacement. Having tightened it full, I accepted the risk of other damages along the drive train.... When I compare the power of my Carnage with the Hobbywing ESC to my Rustler, it's about the same. But then the Rustler uses aluminum pads that are much better than the Carnage ones.

No doubt, the Hobbywing might be superior. But not really a desired option for me. I want to keep the car in its original state. But that is just my personal preference.

Well... A replacement Velineon motor still costs more than £100. But then I got a good deal for a used one for £50. Nevertheless, I thought of taking up the challenge and keep a spare motor. But when it came to balancing the rotor after putting on the Kevlar/Epoxy stuff I scrapped the idea.

Just digged out a really old forum thread from the never forgetting internet. https://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16781 It needs to be wrapped with a really strong and thin thread. Something like Kevlar. And glued with something like a heat resistant epoxy. Then the rotor needs to be perfectly balanced. Too much for me. I don't have any reasonable means to balance a rotor to be able to run at 10000++ revs. At that point I decided to just keep the remaining parts as spares... At least I learned that I also need to spray some GT85 on the ball bearing on the shaft side after each water run.

Thanks. Just found some pictures and more information about the motor and its rotor. You are right, the yellow stuff is originally wrapped all around, probably to keep the 4 magnets in place (as you say). And it's the rotor for a newer version of the motor. And that newer rotor is no more available as a spare part. For the older one it was part 3353. 2 choices left. Garbage or find a way to rewrap the rotor. Since I am expecting a spare motor soon I want to try to repair the old one. How can I wrap the rotor? Or better, what material could I use? My guess is that I must be strong to keep the magnets in place (fabric) and it should be heat resistant.

I am attempting to repair my Velineon motor that came out of my Traxxas Rustler VXL 4x4. Basically the ball bearing at the shaft side disintegrated. I know there is a rebuild kit (TRX3352) with all bushings and ball bearings. That, at least, would need to be ordered. But I am bit puzzled if the rotor also needs to be replaced. There is some partial yellow stuff around it and I don't know if that belongs there or not. For me it looks like it belonged there before and some parts have been ripped off when the motor was rotating unbalanced. Or it is some stuff that came into the motor and wrapped it self around the rotor. Any ideas? Replace the rotor or not?

I am happy your are having great fun with that setup. Looking back the past few weeks I think our Carnages/Bugstas/Vantages turned into real fun machines. No more hiding from the Traxxas', Arrma's & Losi's out there!!! ( Apart from the constant repairing ) That said, we haven't touched our cars since Easter. My Rustler's motor went bust and those Velineon ones cost as much as a Carnage 2.0 brushed. Luckily it's rebuild-able. Getting the parts though will take some time. And my son has no mood to bash alone. On top, my work doesn't allow much free time these days. It's getting really too much...

I haven't had much time to progress on mine. These days, I spend too much time repairing either my son's Carnage or my Rustler. The programming is mostly done, but I am somewhat postponing all the wiring and soldering. I am not sure if I ever posted my complete program, but here we go. Don't forget to plant some easter eggs in your programming! An idea for you. Catch a sequence from your transmitter: Gear 1 to 2, diff locks on, diff locks off, gear 2 to 1. Then play a sequence of lights. It's something eye catching. There are 2 pieces of code I am somewhat proud of. The initial ignition of the Xenon lamp. I could simulate the real flicker on. --> Function setHeadlightStart And the integration of a light sensor. It turns on the headlights only in the dark. :-) --> Function checkPhotoSensor I also integrated the ESS Dual sound module to create realistic engine sound.

I got these and I am quite happy with. Feel subjectively stronger: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FTX-CARNAGE-VANTAGE-HOOLIGAN-Diff-Drive-Cup-4-PCS-UPGRADED-PARTS-UK-FTX6235S-/184500890499?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l10137.c10&nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=true Sadly, out of stock for now.

I would say the driving time depends mostly on driving style, surface, motor/ESC setup and battery quality and of course the capacity. Something similar to real life. So when I say my son runs one battery for 40 minutes, it would apply only to my son. It might just give you a little reference, but I would say it cannot be directly compared.

I have been looking for them for a long time. They must have become available again. I believe they are better than the carbon ones. The carbon ones don't have threads and therefore you need to use nylocs on the other side. Thus preventing me from properly fixing the wheelie bar.
