Page 22 tells about the lights.
I searched “trx-6811r” as copied from OP. Google lead me to reseller, Traxxas told me “no results”.
Not a great search function Traxxas, sorry to say. Thanks for clarifying Double G
I didn’t see it on the Traxxas site, only reseller sites. Is it discontinued?
I saw nothing about weight...
I’ve seen the body reinforcement panels from ScortchedRC. They might be an option.
It toughens up the problem areas, but has less weight than a whole double-thick body.
Not sure about OBA as I...
Rebound preferences will vary...
More important is having some rebound, and also not having it hard as a rock.
Trying to force too much oil can skew the bladder and crush it while tightening.
That...
Are you lightly oiling the bladder and cap? Tightening it dry can also skew the bladder.
I found the same trouble when I went to alum caps. Since I don’t do much jumping anymore, I just use the plastic.
My theory is the alum cap has zero “give” and are subject to over tightening and...
Same here. They work fine.
They handle enough amps on 3S with the VXL-3S, whatever the # is...
I run wheel extensions. I run +8mm just like mechanic77’s link.
Also +14mm sometimes. Mine were ordered from Axialparts.
They add a bit of stress, mainly to the bearings.
Yes. I’ve done it. The VXL-3S will run a 4000 kv motor just fine.
“5382X Diff carrier support “I-bar” rounded edge down“?
And here I sit still waiting for the 2wd hcg to be in stock...
I like these. Are they back up on the Scorched website?
They are steel but not “hardened”.
Ive seen a lot of people struggle with stripped gears after making changes. Meshing can be tricky.
I’ve never run a metal spur, but I bet getting the mesh right is even more important.
If you...
I took a simpler approach as I’m lazy...
3500x15=52500/2600=20.19
First of welcome to fun in the snow! And a little chuckle from the Canadians...
You might not see it that often, but I’m running everyday here in the great white north.
Last year I bought a...
Other way around. If it slips, you lose acceleration and top speed.
I actually smoked a clutch trying to go stupid fast as it was slipping.
Also when you go to slow down, excess slipping robs power...
I did see a chassis mounted HR bar on an LCG Slash while searching YouTube.
You need to grind out the holes on the HR mount to line up with the stock chassis holes.
It looked like it was a good...
Not running it on the bench, especially full throttle, is one of those RC 101 things someone told me early in my rc days.
Probably more safety related, but I can see how full throttle vs no load...
Assuming you are setting the mesh correctly, and nothing is coming loose,
then I would have to say you’ve got a bearing going in the motor or the clutch/top shaft.
It’s not recommended that you...
They are fibre, kinda. I’ve worn the 1985s wafer thin and there isn’t any steel there.
They are called “Teflon coated”, and “fiber washers” in different places. Paper ones are different yet.
TRX...
Good advice here. No shame in training mode either. Control is key.
Making your rig wider makes it harder to flip and roll, but not necessarily drive better.
Changing width, changes suspension...
I’ve seen Dynamite mentioned in other threads as well.
Looked a bit different then the one above.
All the bumper mounted are pretty much the same...
I just use an old servo or esc wire that I keep for this purpose.
They plug right into the esc. Just use the red and black wires for your fans.
If you like you can also wire in the disconnect of...
