I put a couple of tanks through it the day I filmed this. That hard landing at 0:40 happened early on and it knocked the exhaust header loose. After that the engine kept getting leaner. It wasn't...

What type of batteries are you using?
If you're using the stock Nimh batteries I would make sure that you have the Low Voltage Detection turned off. Low voltage detection is for Lipos and will...
The E-Maxx is a fair bit heavier than the 1/10 models that system is used in. If you're not running heavy tires and you go with a high gear ratio for more acceleration and less top speed it might...
The 40 series tires Proline makes - Mashers, Trenchers, Big Joes - are a bit wider and have a more aggressive tread pattern which would help with traction.
If all else fails you could put a center...
I would look into a Savox servo. I have an SA-1230SG in one of my 1/8th scale trucks and it has no problems turning the wheels.
Here is a thread where someone used the same servo in a summit:...
I run the standard traxxas glow plugs. After 5 gallons of fuel I'm only on my 3rd plug. I replaced one after the break-in process and another a few gallons later.
As long as there is a visible...
Congrats on the new NPede, it's a fun truck.
To answer your first question... You are right, leaning out the mixture will increase the engine temperature. That is not a factual error on the video...
Like some of the other posters have mentioned, if you go down 1-3 teeth on the pinion it should lower your temps.
What was 160F? The esc or the motor? 160F on the motor is perfectly fine, anything...
What gearing are you running the 3s pack with? Running a 3 cell lipo produces a lot of heat. It sounds like your esc went into thermal shutdown.
I believe the 3m speed controllers go into thermal...
I have run Proline Dirt Hawg tires on Titus Beadloc Rims. They are quite a bit heavier than the stock tires. I ran the 50t spur with a 19t pinion. That setup worked well on both 2s offroad and 3s on...
I would stick to dry sand that way you should only need to use compressed air and a brush to clean it. Wet sand will clump in places and be hard to remove and salt water is very corrosive to your...
If it is still acting twitchy after you've dried it out I would unplug the servo and see if forward and reverse work. I've had two of the stock servos fail and both times it made the car act the way...

I have had a good experience with Traxxas, Duratrax and Dynamite lipo packs.
The reason people advise against the removable leads is because they can become dirty or damaged and potentially cause...

I run Proline Dirt Hawgs with Titus Beadloc Rims on my brushless Merv. They are quite a bit heavier than the stock tires. I found that 50/19 gearing worked well for 2s offroad and 3s on the street. ...
