RE: Traxxas Summit

I like that video more!

RE: Traxxas Summit

I got new shoes!!!! I had been told these tyres would be too narrow for these rims but I thought they'd fit. RC4WD's Rok Loks mounted on Axial 8 hole rims. I'll get some comparison shots up later and some pics of them on the truck. They sure are big.

RE: Traxxas Summit

Nice. I was going to get those instead of my mudslingers but just too big for me!

RE: Traxxas Summit

Danget! i broke another driveshaft from trying to drive it on its back againhttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...msn/crying.gifdo you guys think that i should get those metal driveshafts or is that a bit overkill?

RE: Traxxas Summit

How the heck do you keep breaking them? I can even break them i'm my E-revo Brushless lol

RE: Traxxas Summit

Ok so yesterday i noticed a popping or clicking in my tranny. So i took it apart tonight and a bearing was blown out. I had a spare 1 so i replaced it.<div>

RE: Traxxas Summit

Doesn't it say on the tranny not to put any oil in it? I don't think your supposed too, I know them being plastic that it doesn't really need to be lubed. I'm not 100% sure on the summit tranny though

RE: Traxxas Summit

Well ive already soaked it in WD and then 3in1 oil!!! Lmao oops.

RE: Traxxas Summit

Well after i put it back together it was still catching somewhere so i took it all apart, all the gears out and there are a few bearings out and 1 gear stripped out:(

RE: Traxxas Summit

And that's why you don't put oil in the tranny lol jk :)... For how much you run it though it's pretty good

RE: Traxxas Summit

Yeah 8 months half of the time to the roof in a creek a few bearings and a gear isnt too bad i guess! Already ordered the parts...$20

RE: Traxxas Summit

Yeah stuff like that is pretty normal.

RE: Traxxas Summit

Check out this cam!!! Its not waterproof but its only $32!!!!<div>

I'm getting around to it. I still have one tyre to put on, those beadlocks take forever.

RE: Traxxas Summit

Yeah i know. I had to take all mine off after that creek run to get the water out. My wrist still hurts!!! I put silicone in the holes on the rims so i wont have to do that again.!

RE: Traxxas Summit

Don't you want the tires to loose air so they can flex and grip more?

RE: Traxxas Summit

Nope. I crawl on rocks maybe 2 times every 6 months and these mudslingers are so stiff anyway. I mainly run in creeks or just bash on dirt hills or dirt trails so i dont think it will make a huge diff.

RE: Traxxas Summit

Made some more vids today...<div>

RE: Traxxas Summit

Nice videos Beast, it didn't like the sand very much. Nice choice of music too, Annie has got to be one of my favorite movies ;)

RE: Traxxas Summit

Wow. Looks great! How many "s from the ground to the chassis?

RE: Traxxas Summit

Roughly 5" from the bottom of the battery doors. It might droop a little with batteries in it though.
