I thought you said something about the suspension detonating maybe I was mistaken that looks like good times lol. I wish my dad had one when I was a kid.</p>

To what extent do you guys clean your trucks. Do you take it completely apart electonics out and all or just as much as you need to to get the really bad areas. Just curious cause I see some of your pics and your trucks are covered in mud one minute and the next it looks as if you just pulled them out of hthe box</p>

I take mine apart about once every 6 months and give it a good clean. Other than that i just rinse mine with the water hose spray it down with some degreaser(not too strong) then rinse again. Then spray most of it down with wd40 and 3in1 oil on all the bearings i can get 2.

I do like the black that looks really good Beast. did you use the liquid die or the powder Idk if it makes a diff but i have the liquid in black right now and the powder in dark green Im temped to see if I can put a design on it like you would with a disk golf disk. might try it to the slash. I have to replace the chassis anyways being cracked and all.

I'm sure there good tires but he wasn't doing it right at all. The stock tires would get up that easy.

RE: Traxxas Summit
 
Is it cause he didn't lock the diffs

Those harder compound tyres on the E-Maxx will do alright climbing up a smooth flat board but out in the wild on rough rocks and stuff like that the Summit tyres will do much better.

O and kenny Ialso grinded the a arms down abit where the inside beadlock ring was getting stuck, and the ring itself. So ill let u know if that solves the prob with these wheels getting stuck....fingers crossed!!!!

RE: Traxxas Summit
 
Cool, let us know how it goes. I've been looking into grinding down the beadlocks but haven't given it much thought in the past couple of weeks, my old man reckons he knows someone who might be able to grind them down for me on the cheap so I'll have to ask him about it next time I'm talking to him. I don't expect grinding them down to fully solve the problem but it should help a little, as long as it doesn't cost too much to get it done.
