RE: OFFICIAL Detta ST THREAD **********

Yeah those were my first ideas too. I checked for cold solder joints, none of the wires themselves get hot. Batteries are brand new, maybe ~5 runs on each, bearings are new, vehicle free-spins like a...

RE: OFFICIAL Detta ST THREAD **********

Hey guys I'm experiencing some sudden intense heat from both my ESC and Ammo motor, within a real short time frame, too. I haven't changed gearing, tires, or battery packs and suddenly it's mad crazy...

RE: OFFICIAL Detta ST THREAD **********

I just got rid of the front strap entirely and put a stand off with a screw for the front portion. Prevents it from popping out and is much tougher. And skate parks are loads of fun... Good way to...

RE: OFFICIAL Detta ST THREAD **********

I know, but I'm not really interested in truck bodies. Unless a really nice one pops up... I'm not running my Vendetta in any "standard" form factor, the SC body is too narrow for my configuration,...

RE: OFFICIAL Detta ST THREAD **********

Yeah buddy, let me get a new body like the Phat Bodies Bolt, or Frogger's Goblin body (both buggy shells) and get back to you in regards to how well the front tower is magically protected. And the...

RE: OFFICIAL Detta ST THREAD **********

LOL sarcasm much?

The ball ends were just a means of triangulation, so that (very) hard landings don't bend the shock tower. They're holding up pretty well, but I'm still looking for a more...

RE: OFFICIAL Detta ST THREAD **********

Well... Since I've already managed to destroy my body, I had to find a way to not destroy the front shocks/shock tower. Saw an old wing mount and huzzah! Rollover protection. If anyone else is having...

RE: What's up with duratrax, anyone know???

I want to agree with John. I've had a bunch of their chargers, batteries, tools and accessories. They make solid products. And back when I had a Maximum ST, their Customer Service was top notch. I've...

RE: OFFICIAL Detta ST THREAD **********

Mini Revo tires would be pretty big on the little 'Detta, but you could pull it off geared right. Mini LST tires are more proportional, but are a dying breed, and need a hex to convert it over. I'd...

RE: OFFICIAL Detta ST THREAD **********

It's an RJ Speed body for the SC18 and craftily cut fenders. I just got HPI 31mm wheels and stock Detta ST tires (regret), but they don't hook up for anything. Next step will just be 2.2s and...

RE: UP NOW Latest Vendetta build $ pics $- how's it look?

Honestly, I've never broken any suspension component. Even as a Vendetta BX, once I snapped a plastic axle, I modded some TC3 CVDs in. Just shock towers getting scraped/bent and wings.Currently, as...

There we go! Wise choice on the Ammo. I miss when my 'Detta was that size... I've sure put it through a lot.

Noooioooo! I wanted to see. I just built mine up too and need motivation for more. Where did you get the sealed bearings?

RE: Vendetta suspension/ brushless Wierd characteristics help

Just theory.... But to kind of agree with Bonez, I would check your diffs (if you have ball diffs). Sounds like the diff is unloading, sending power to the inside tires and then they grab traction...

RE: OFFICIAL Detta ST THREAD **********

Ah! OK yeah that's a really good option. I would go for it.

As an aside, I've decided I no longer want a different motor. I went 19/45 with my 3sand it was entirely too unstable. Even rolling...

RE: OFFICIAL Detta ST THREAD **********

I hope you don't mean 6800 Mamba... those motors struggle with the size and weight of the Vendettas. I had one in my buggy and it turned into smoke.

RE: Duratrax vendetta sc

Whatever, I was close enough. It was a quick approximation. I was certain it was narrower, and longer. thanks for filling the cracks in my information though. Good to know it's buggy width and not...

RE: Duratrax vendetta sc

Narrower track-width since it uses the Rally susp. arms, and it's also about 2cm longer, from the STs 160mm to a new 185mm or so. Pretty much only difference. It's like a long wheelbase rally. With...

RE: BEST 1/18 TRUGGY

Alot of people get the regular CVDs which require a bolt, and then drill/tap them out and fill it with an m3 screw, and capture the wheel/tire with a nut. But also there are CVDs from Duratrax, and...

RE: BEST 1/18 TRUGGY

Plus the Vendetta is pretty stout. I'm actually pumped because I found online that Phat Bodies finally made a Trophy Truck body for it. =) So I guess I'll be going wing-less for awhile in favor of...
