T9, my friends did the same thing within the first pack.  He is an animal with his trucks but thats even too quick for him.
 
Dspdrew - are the sway bars available yet?
 
Congratulations Cummins..  Enjoy the truck.  You are past the initial fear of it blowing up the first moment the ESC sees power.



Yeah, I just ordered one, so I guess I'll find out if it's any good.

Not sure about your lhs, but the one near my area have Spektrum - DX3E (SPM3160) with SR300 rx for $75. It has a good range and the tx has a good feel.

Status: offline 		 Hey guys, 

has anyone got this problem? After about 15 minutes of running, the throttle wont response and it wont move at all, but you can still make the wheels move. The wheels turn perfectly but theres no response to the throttle at all. Also, ive been having some issues with the front wheels, they move quite alot making it hard to control.

Thanks, Diego

Status: online 		Well i've been out running my flux xs since i got it last week. with only a 25c lipo, i dont think its quite as fast as a 30c, but its fine with me. its still a quick truck. beats my bandit vxl. i have to admit that it is an awesome truck. the only downfall to it are the stock tires. with this much power, even 4WD doesnt hook up well anywhere. im hoping the proline badlands will take care of this issue. i've upgraded to a high torque servo (90oz./in. @6v) and it seems to turn quicker and sharper, but the servo isnt waterproof. i dont plan on running it thru water anyway. i should be getting my badlands today. ill take some pics of it with the black on black rim combo after i clean it up.
