RE: Project Slash

While you were buying rpm parts for the rear, why didn't you get the sealed gear cover?

How many runs in did you realize you needed steel drive yokes?

RE: Arrma vortex

I've seen that if your battery is too tall, the under seat tray won't close due to the battery tray latch mechanism.

I would also recommend running silicone diff fluid in the diff, as those...

RE: Custom rc build

I'll say this now: that steering servo horn looks mighty exposed to hits.

It also looks like the servo throw might catch the rear of the front end on any sort of obstacle with the additional...

RE: Custom rc build

Look at how the arrma vortex line is constructed. Your chassis looks most similar to an extended version of that.

1. Personally I run the castle creations sport SCT combo (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAETT&P=7)with 3800kv 4-pole motor, but most modern esc's will support BL and brushed...

RE: Is the rustler going to be better?

I have to agree there. The stock rear a-arms changed from crossbraced + midbrace to right angle mid bracing. Currently running the pro-line slash 2WD rear a-arms on mine, and they are essentially...

RE: XTM Baja Bullet.

From the pictures it looks like the planet gears are heating up, seizing on the shaft, and locking the diff. When you then turn the corner or such, the sun gears cannot rotate independently, and...

RE: XTM Baja Bullet.

Please upload a photo of the broken pieces of sun gear. They may be cast metal instead of milled, which would make them brittle. According to your manual, the motor you described sounds like the...

RE: XTM Baja Bullet.

Are you using the right lubrication in your diff?

What motor and battery setup do you have going into the transmission?

It looks like from the user manual for your model, the planetary gears...

RE: Slash 4X4 MT Video and Pictures

Why no crossbracing inside? Also it looks like you might develop stress concentration on the middle of the arm in the case of lateral shock load.

RE: how do I strengthen upper arms on my hyper 10tt

Can you add a dab of blue threadlocker and a locknut to the backside of the hinge pin? Or is the arm popping off physically from the hinge pin mount?

5-7mm of total steering slop is acceptable,...

RE: Traxxas Rustler XL-5 Build

That's the plastic spur gear in the new style slipper clutch.

Also I would recommend pro-line protrac slash 2WD a-arms instead of RPM. More mounting holes and better triangulation between the...
