RE: The Beater Builds Thread
I just finished re filling all my shocks on my pede, putting new front arms on, and re programing the esc. I am going to my lhs today cause my brother is getting an flm chassis for his rustler. I will post some pics and probably a video soon.

last night I bashed my e-maxx as hard as I could (trying to brake it). all the broke is a rpm body mount. And I found some dirt. my diffs also stripped. I went to a skate park.

Cheaper yes, but its nowhere near as satisfying or fun to take it over a huge suicidal jump.

Sweet. BTW, on the diffs, if its the diff cups that stripped, get the FLM ones. They use bigger 3mm screws and are all aluminum and super durable. I have them in mine and they are great.

RE: The Beater Builds Thread
theres no way. I am sorry but i can not believe that story. Its not possible. If you are talking about just going under a car and hitting the exhaust sure, i have done that to my mom in our camaro before when i was driving inside the car and my pede was in front of us, the LVC kicked in and she didnt stop lol i heard it hit the bottom of the car. I checked my truck though and not damage. But if you hit the actual tire there is no way that it could survive. Even with rpm parts. I have all the rpm parts and i still break my truck good. I break all the rpm parts all the time. I just broke 2 arms the other day and i have broken 4 bumpers lol.

I have the FLM ones and I think the ring gear is stripped. I also broke a chassis at the battery trays. I am going to buy t-maxx 3.3 diffs to see what happens.

Actually if you have the FLM diff cups with their drilled ring and pinion, you could actually just keep the diff cups, and buy RRP ring and pinion, and with a drill press, drill and countersink some 3mm holes for the screws.
