Hi, wondering if there was any way of stopping the body posts snapping off the Carnage or reducing how much they do break?

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations on 1:10th buggy wheels for the vantage as a did one small jump with it and all my spokes snapped, any recommendations for some pre-mounted sets?

I have the vantage so the front ones are lighter so I think it should be a bit better?

I'll look around, are there any suggestions for wheels and tyres for buggies?

Okay cheers for the help👍

Are the fastrax ones any good because I already have a rear set so I'll only need a front set?

I was only on the stock wheels, would it be worth getting the alloy hex's that ftx sell and the alloy knuckles because I have a feeling there was just a lot of heat that melted all the plastic bits around it? I was doing a lot of drifting on a very dusty bit so that might have caused a lot of heat build up.

Hi, I’ve been out with the vantage today and have somehow melted the wheel nut and hex into the wheel, the wheel fell off and it turned out the nut had melted through the wheel, I can’t seem to get the other one off either, it also seems to have started to happen to the front. I’ll attach some pictures, has anyone else had this happen?

Yeah I did try it before but it seemed to sit really low at the front when I wound them up a bit

I also did thicker oil in the shocks and it definitely does help but the front does seem to bounce around a lot more on the vantage if the springs are wound all the way down, definitely a lot better though👍

Okay cheers👍

Okay thank you, can they take 6s power without problems or are there parts that need to be beefed up?

Hi, I'm looking to buy a rolling chassis just for general bashing and just enjoying driving, are the hyper VSE's good for jumping and just messing around with or should I be looking elsewhere?

I think I’ll get something in the middle or 30, cheers 👍

Is 50wt a thicker oil then stock ? And is it worth doing all 4 shocks or just doing what I need to do

Hi, just blew up a front shock on my vantage, think I’d already bent the shaft on it, are the aluminium shocks worth it or should I just replace with plastic, also what oil is recommended for the front of these?

Okay cheers👍

Okay cheers 👍

Hi, I’m new to using lipo batteries and every time I run them when I get home I storage charge them on my charger, do I need to do this every time I use them as it takes ages or can I leave time discharged until my next use?

I have the RW Racing ones from Modelsport and they seem to work well. If you go back to page 268 @Jenshas some calculations for gearing and there was a chat about how to choose the right gears there so I'd give that a read. If you mean like DP or MOD then from my experience I've bought 32DP spur and pinion and they work really well.

Yeah, I now run a 47t spur and a 13t pinion, gives it a bit more top speed and still accelerates really fast.

Hi, I run the hobbywing Max10 combo with the 4000Kv motor on 2s, ran it on 3s earlier with no faults, and its definitely fast enough and its a lot of fun. It is nice to have the temperature cut off just so that I don't have to check to see if the motor is to hot, would definitely recommend doing the upgrade, it feels a lot more solid and feels like it is better build quality than the stock system. If you do end up upgrading then you'll definitely need to do spur and pinion gear upgrades if you haven't already.👍

Okay cheers for the help👍

Trying to choose gearing using your calculations from early, I want to run the car on 2s 9/10 times so should I base my calculations on the 2s voltage or should I go in the middle of the 2 and 3s calculations for a middle ground gear?
