Great run! I was thinking it was the body too. Can't wait until you get this back up and running.

Thanks man! Yeah I think it was just the body…..the Slash 4x4 diffs are actually pretty good…..I’ve never had an issue with them before

I was only running titan 550 brushed when I blew my motor but it was the mud that did it , handled everything I threw at it till I had wheels 3/4 deep in thick mud trying to creep which was working ...never got stuck till motor gave so these vidz big help 💯 I want a versatile truck I can hit track and Mudd love the muddy sc tracks.

Shoot,I wanted to see what 4s was like!😂 no surprise though, my slash 4x4 can’t make it though a 6000 mah pack without breaking or wearing out something! I guess that’s the fun, run it, break it, fix it, repeat! It’s cheaper to fix than my 2003 corvette

I'm in the process of making my cheap slash an ultimate basher. I'm slowly upgrading parts as they start to break. trial and error. It's fun. This weeks upgrade... Tekno driveshafts; Front, center, rear.

Nice man! I’m seriously considering tekno driveshafts…..much cheaper option compared to the MIP driveshafts

@Mr.Ramirez95 2 жыл бұрын

@@RCKnockout if you read Amazon reviews on the Tekno driveshafts, most of them are bashing on MIPs and Traxxas CVDs (no pun intended) After doing a bit of research, I came to the conclusion that, driveshaft upgrades are hit or miss when it comes to other brands. I hope these Tekno driveshafts live up to their reviews.

Is their any drawback to gearing lower? The top speed is i.preszive but u was thinking of going 11 pinion and 54 spur to help not stress out the system with this mamba 3200kv 4s set up. Any concerns I should know a out gearing lower?

@RCKnockout Жыл бұрын

For the most part gearing lower isn’t gonna cause extra strain…..the power system is gonna be a lot happier and it’ll stay cooler too…..the added torque could cause more strain when launching at full throttle….but that’s about it

Would that sensored model line (with a lower KV rating) work well on the Summit for crawling and high speed duty, or would a more dedicated (traditional sensored) crawler combo be better suited to the massive Summit?

@RCKnockout 2 жыл бұрын

No this combo wouldn’t be good for a Summit….it’s a 1/10 scale system…weight limit is 7.5lbs……Summit probably weighs at least 10-12 pounds…..you’ll wanna look into a 1/8 system

@timeng3 2 жыл бұрын

What about the SmartSense feature to put on the Summit? For slower trailing with occasional high speed bashing, do you think this hybrid sensored setup would be better than a full sensored rig? Seems clear that the sensorless mode delivers the top end goods really well, but didn't get a clear idea of how well the sensored part works. I can see it starts off really smooth, but if u go just a hair faster, is it already out of sensored mode? Guess what I'm asking is, is it a basher motor first and a crawler motor second or can it be a legit crawler motor? Thanks again!!!

@@timeng3 I think for this system It’s setup more for bashing but if you ran a Mamba Esc from Castle that could work well for the Summit I would think

This hobby sums it up in two sentences: 1/5 cars don't break, but the time to play is 10 minutes 1/8 and 1/10 cars break, but have a longer playing time So the only solution is to rest from the Lipo batteries and turn the hobby to solid batteries And then the best cars from my point of view are 1/5

If you think you have a problem that can be diagnosed by eliminating the possible failure point why not just remove the body and confirm instead of continuously repeating "you think its probably the body rubbing the Badlands" In 1min that the body could have been removed and a launch with hard right and left under power and youd have known. I'm not trying to be deliberately disrespectful to you but I'm a mechanic by trade and seeing someone RTF( run to failure) drives me nutty.
