Hi, old post, but maybe you can share your insights - did traxxas receiver survived the 7.4V? I got a mean servo, good for up to 8.2V, but looking for info if traxxas receiver can survive it.
I use GPM extenders, because they are made from steel, not aluminum - thus after more than a year they have no wear on them. Traxxas original aluminum ones tend to wear down rather fast to a point where i ether loose a pin or have to file them to replace the bearings.
I had temp issues until i replaced stock motor fans/cooler. Im just curious whats the weather temp now? In January? You might get temp probs when the temperature goes up in summer.
P.S. could you link anti roll links and mud flaps - would be an upgrade to my truck 🙂 do you bash or only go for speed runs?
https://www.monsterhopups.de/HSPEED-HSP0025-HSX501-Monster-Torque-Digital-Servo-72kg-X-Maxx-XRT-Maxx beast compared to Traxxas 2085X . Running it with the stock receiver, so its only at its minimal power, but difference is huge - speed and power!
I bet there are many SkyRC fans/users here. Just got mine and tested (battery meter) brand new lipos. Red the instructions several times, but could't find any info on what does the red numbers mean? I guess its bad? Is this function trustworthy?
P.S. never expected that it would be this hard to unplug balance plugs from the charger, i could barely do it with my fingers... Maybe its just because its new? Or i have bought siht extension cables?
Recently i have ordered this M1.5 cant wait to try it out 🙂 And my bad, confused GDS with GPM..... Yea GDS is US based company, GPM are Chinese, but both are solid.
GDS actually are Chinese. Punch is rather individual and depends where and how you run your truck. I would say offroad high punch is useless - truck just skids around uncontrollably, on road - useless since truck just tries to do constant backflip and wheelies uncontrollably. I guess i don't see any good use in high punch levels 😄
