Hey guys, i have a quick question... is there a way to adjust the brakes on this truck? they don't seem to be stopping the truck enough to where they would even be useful.

Well i'll have to check the manual, but if there is nothing, I'll just have to wait a little bit the get the Castle Link. Besides who uses brakes? lol just hit the damn throttle! lol how much more performance can i get out of the flux vector pro system if i get the castle link?

Hi all,
I'm new here and interested in this small truck,

If so, what's the battery's c rating and capacity you guys recommand?
Thanx!

Well with the stock tires, you will most likely not be able to do a standing backflip. Unless there is a light from above giving you more power lol. I have upgraded my tires to the Pro-Line badlands, and with a 7.4v 2s lipo, it will do a standing backflip. I usea 25c lipo. 25-30c lipo is a good C rating. This is a great little truck, and for the price, this is the best bang for yor buck right now in my opinion.

Try with the end point....there is a "stck" in the battery case that you can use for changing them...probably you have it setup for less to nothing braking...
Hope it helps

Pro-Line badlands w/ stock wheels? any parts that I need to pay more attention (upgrade) before doing backflip?
Thanx!

I put the badlands on HPI monster ss wheels. The black spoke design looks pretty nice on the truck. but they will fit on the stock rims. and i would say the one thing to upgrade are the shock ends, the small plastic pieces that go on the bottom of the shock shaft. replace those with RPM ones. the stock ones are a brittle plastic so they will break when you bring the back of the truck down hard. use these...http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBMSW&P=7
