Default RE: vxl gearbox durability threshold

the driveshafts are tuff and i can replace them as needed.
i like the sliders and besides the black plastic output yolks
its all good. i have one white output yolk one steel one and she's
ok. my only weak spots for now seem to be tyres and foams
popping out. i smashed the front hub holder thingo at low speed
but it was a mates rig earlier and has recieved a royal beating already.

i think if all is lubed she should be sweet. its a vxl bandit by the way with
a couple of things i had lying around.

since my first post i took it out again with what was left in the battery.
my friend who initially owned it was with me and watched and had a go
of the savage pig dog. he was, and i still am,still astonished at the power.

revo eater for life!

if anyone knows how to do the figures i am running 4s (14.8v)35c
, vxl (3500kv) motor geared 26/78 any idea of ballpark top speed?
im thinking it would whale on a 7700 cc motor with relative ease.[8D]
traxxas bandit stock type tyre size. im thinking 60+ easily

nimh seems to create heat sometimes the lipo doesnt. sounds strange
but i have made heaps of custom cell battery's but lipo just has it without
the heat and weight. more punch too..

BOOYA!
