So I've been running the heck out of mine and done of bunch of upgrades. The only things I've broken are a control arm, motor mount, and axle. People complain about breaking parta all the time but I...
I split this with a friend so it was less than $10 for each of us. It fits and has metal gears.

Swapping out the servo fixed all of my tracking issues.

Double sided tape is holding it down. There is a screw on each end of the long blue part it site on too.

I finally broke a drivetrain part, running this motor, a 21t pinion, 54t spur, ESC punch set to high, and a 3s lipo. Fast as on this set up. Can wheelie on demand at ay speed. Broke one of the stock...
Yep, same here. One control arm and some servo gear teeth. I've been running on a 2838 brushless for nearly a month now and ran it on 3s for about 10 minutes yesterday and still haven't broken any...
So far so good. Ran a pack through it during lunch at work today. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200604/3415ebdb5419f276b7b3a039363882e2.jpg

The 550 won't fit and if you want to keep the stock ESC you'll have to stick with a brushed motor. There are a lot of cheap brushless/ESC combos but to my knowledge, none just drop in without at...
Sure, I'll take one when I go out in a bit. I tried the 13t pinion and didn't like it. Just spun the tires a lot, so I put the 21t back in and changed the 60t spur gear to a 54t and it is crazy! ...
A couple of weeks ago I put the budget big block in and I'm really surprised that it's not a more popular choice. The stock motor mount screws are the correct pitch. The motor shaft is too long,...
No problem and good luck! Start a post if you end up going brushless so we have some more reading material in here. There isn't much activity!

Ok, thanks. Trying to decide if I want to buy one or just use some of the roll of velcro I have at home.

The teton has lifetime warranty on electronics, but I'm not sure if that's transferable to new owners?
If you have confirmed that you have power coming out of the ESC then I would do a voltage...
It must be. if you disconnect the motor and have power coming out of the ECS, then there is a problem with the ESC. I'm not sure what exactly is going on in there, but there is a short to ground or...
Someone else just posted the same issue. Do you have a volt meter? I'd check for voltage on the output side of the ESC and if you have power there with the motor disconnected with the ESC off,...
Yeah, I was planning on drilling them out. I haven't seen any gear up options, so I'm hoping heat isn't an issue. I've only seen higher top speed options.

Any heat issues on the stock gearing or did you change them?

I did open the box and even looked at the board in the receiver and all looked fine. I guess I'll just contact traxxas if it happens again. I just figured if I knew what the lights indicated I could...
I tried programming it but it won't let you while it's blinking and it starts blinking right when you turn it on. I've never seen it before. I wish I knew what that specific error pattern meant, but...
It just started happening yesterday. Only saw fast flashing red light info in the manual. Originally the transmitter light was flashing red slowly, so we put in new batteries. No change on the ESC....
I'm not seeing much out there in terms of spur and pinions that add torque. I see there are speed options, but no pinions less than 9T or spurs over 60t.
My daughter smoked the motor in her...
How are you liking that setup so far? I'm assuming it's a significant increase in power over stock?

I'm trying to find an inexpensive battery that fits in there. I see tons of options in build threads and google searches but the links to Amazon/eBay are always too old. Does anyone know of current...
Great thread. A lot of useful information here!
