@prowolfwolf8879 6 жыл бұрын

Ian Enciso on doing backflips with rc's something to look for is the kick of your rc when you go full throttle. If your rc does a weely it has enough kick to do a back flip. Ok if you're rc is high enough off the ground, go full throttle in mid-air, that will kick your rc into a backflip

Cool video, looking at some of your others. I bought the Rustler 4 X 4 VXL, it's a blast and wow it's fast. So one question I have, while driving around and slinging doughnuts, I noticed the body gets a lot of gravel in it. Got one against the driveshaft, scratched it up some. I got a good bit of money in my car, so I want to have fun with it, but not tear it up. Is there any type of cover to help prevent that, or anything to minimize this?

Hey Greg, Not sure that this is relevant to this particular video, but with my electric brushless SC Truck, i run a battery through it and then have to wait for motor to cool b4 running a second/third battery. How can I cool my motor fast? would it be a good idea to rest an ice pack on it or something like that perhaps? Thanks.

@rcdriver 6 жыл бұрын

Both of my 7 year old twins have one. They are good trucks. Pretty tough, but like anything, if you abuse it, there is always the potential of something going wrong. Luckily there is great part support for Traxxas. The truck is quick with a NiMh pack and faster with a LiPo. Then you can upgrade to brushless down the road to go even faster if you desire.
