ORIGINAL: Ripcaster

I picked up my Pede VXL today and a couple of odd things happened considering it's brand new: one of the wheels fell off but we managed to find the nut and the wheel adapter, and the pinion came out of mesh with the spur so I realigned that but ****? These things shouldn't be happening to a new truck shoudl they?


Yes it does happen. If you hate the wheel falling off thing, put a small drop of loctite or some kind of thread locker on the axle threaded part and put the nut on. Make sure that it is removable loctite. And for the mesh thing yep just tighten it back down. I have never personally lost any wheel nuts, even though i take my tires off all the time they still havent gotten screwed up yet after 1 year. But i always keep some extras on hand.

Status: offline 		ok so I was able to get it out today. it did absolutely amazing on the road course. the tires sucked like no other. but they are wearing down and need replacing anyways. it was balistically fast though. i outran basically everybody other then a 3 speed savage with an axail.32(that guy could drive!!!) and 3 guys with TC. one running 3s vxl and the others running nitro 4tecs. the pictures show what the truck looks like with my reciever tucked away under the ESC. it didnt seem to glitch at all. once but it wasnt bad. i didnt go very far out though. only 50 feet at the most... im truely suprised at how well it handled the street being widenede and the front wheels sticking a little further out front. as soon as my revo is done i am deffinetly going to extend my pede and make it the ultimate weekend warrior. no action pics but i have some. they arent very bright because my camera doesnt have flash but here they are. sorry in advance for the poor pics
