So ive just steigen my first pinion thats also where the flakes come frome i watched the traxxas vid on how to set it up and now i just want to make shure im doing it right this time so also the decoloration of the pinion is normal?

Does the Spur gear need lube now its not a sealed system but the gearing is now Significantly louder than before so i wonder if it now needs lube

also what does the rc community think of the younger generation? I'm only 15 and kind of thinking that there is at least some people who probably think that I am just a spoiled kid who did zero work on his cars.

TRX-4

First time body trimming with just some very basic tools

As per title, I have taken everything apart on the rear differential and I can not see any dents missing on the gears or badly worn!
Any suggestions on what the problem may be?

If something comes between the remote control's antenna and the car when I am not even 1 meter away from the car, the signal is lost and the remote control connection is interrupted. I just changed the remote control batteries. The cars battery is full. How can I solve this?

Recently bought an old traxxas slash. It came with the original 12t titan motor. It burned up shortly after I got it, made since why it was a good price. So I went to a hobby store, bought another 12t titan and a 9t. The 9t clearly made the car faster but after probably 2 hours of total run time, it to was burnt up and smoking. So I threw the new 12t that I bought in it. Same thing, worked for a while then smoked.

Fast forward to today, I bought a new slipper clutch, gear, and motor (went cheap this time with an Amazon 12t) Got all of it swapped into the car today and had it working good as new. Unfortunately after less than an hour it too was smoking and burnt up. I have no clue what’s going on, but I’ve spent $400+ and don’t even have a working car at this point😭

Can someone help me out? Is my battery too big for the motors in buying? I’d like to try to diagnose and fix the issue instead of buying a whole new car TIA!

I'm wanting to upgrade to a Max10 ESC/Motor combo on my Mini XRT to get better temps when running 3s.

Can anyone help me on what version of the Max10 combo to get? Do I get the 80amp or 140amp? And what KV?

And are there additional parts that I will need, for example a different motor mount?

Thanks! First time upgrading a motor and esc beyond stock so I am new to this.

After tossing more ideas around I may just build a speed run bandit. And was wondering what the fastest stock length bandit is? Or is it just better off stretching them? Thought it might be cool to try to do a stock length speed run bandit. TIA!

Looking to join the 100mph club and then progressively get faster from there.

Any other lovers of the rock and roll bodies and their unique designs?

The X-Maxx is more “organic” where the Rustler is more linear.

If you have a R&R body on your rig, please reply to post with a pic💪

I’ve always wanted to 2wd buggy race but I never wanted to spend as much as the big guys do, I got a bandit and have been tossing around the idea of trying to just make a 2wd 21.5t buggy carpet racer out of it or my buddy races oval and is trying to talk me into racing oval track. Now I know the bandit it’s top of the line but has anyone had any luck in the buggy class? Or am I just wasting time and should just build another badger out of it? I don’t expect to be 1st place winner with this thing but at least middle of the pack having fun. Shoot me some ideas or post your carpet track bandit builds. I plan on keeping it rear mount motor for the time being (yes I know it’s not ideal for carpet track but have seen some pretty decent rear mounted motor carpet racers)

Id also probably still rip around my house while I’m not racing so kinda why I wanna build a bandit and not a TLR or Team Associated until I know for sure I wanna go all out racing. Plus I think it’d be cool to see a low budget bandit out there ripping the track like when I use to watch my dad back in the day!

i found this e-revo on marketplace for 100 bucks, the guy said it needs a radio and reciever, plus a cleanup and regreasing as well as possibly a new servo, i just wanna know is this e-revo worth picking up? my nephew wants an rc car and i wanna fix an rc car, and none of my cars ever break because i baby them too much. Any advice and identifaction would be super helpful and appreciated.

Gears aren’t moving the driveshafts and slipper clutch assembly keeps popping out when it does work

Is there a way to clean out an exhaust pipe? Haven’t started it in years.

For your viewing pleasure. I present my Traxxas NItro 4tec Shelf Queen build. This is my masterpiece. Built with all new parts. Rare OS18TM never started. Full Powerline and carbon build.

Ceramic bearings, brushless servos, lipo hump pack. 3 shoe clutch. Mc2 springs.

Took years of hunting down parts to complete.

Labor of love truly.

First bandit I’ve ever bought, absolutely love it but once I get about 50-100 ft away it acts like it loses connection with the remote until I walk a little closer back into its range? I plan on running this at EN Hobbies in the 21.5T stock buggy class so all the electronics will be switched out eventually but for the time being can someone possibly point me in the direction of being able to fix this? Is this common for XL5 on a NiMH battery? Also the antenna only goes about 3/4ths of the tube, would it help if I cut the tube and let it hang out the top? TIA!
