Just going to a brushless motor will be a rush.

Don’t waste your time with 2S if speed is your game. I tried. By the time you get to a useful speed you will battle heat problems.

Keep the XL...

The back comes off pretty easy.

Any other way to update ESC besides using the bluetooth module?

I could never get the hang of the Traxxas controller so I always bought the BT. I have since switched to Futaba...

I have a FrankenHoss. Started life as a 4Pede and I added the Hoss Chassis and associated parts. But pretty much the same drive train.

First, remove the pinion and just roll the car by hand. It should be smooth and quiet. You can tell if it is drive train or just the motor acting up.

If you have the Bluetooth module you can see...

If you are looking for speed always go with the higher S battery. Less current and less heat. You can gear lower

There is some people that take the Traxxas 1/10th chassis to 100mph.

Looks like you have the driveline covered.

Maybe a stronger metal gear servo and tighten the saver a little more. Make sure there is minimal slop in the steering.

The difference between 3S...

I use a low power battery operated pressure washer.

Obviously I don’t hit the electronics or blast straight into bearings and such. It works really good at removing dirt without undo water...

Top speed is the terminal velocity when running wide open throttle.

Acceleration is whether it takes you 30 seconds or 5 seconds to get there.

Mine is around 8.

Added a Hoss chassis and Body recently but it will always be my 4Pede.

Give Traxxas a call. They can advise on the Cush drive.

I haven’t touched mine in 4 years.

I did destroy my original 46 tooth spur bashing with it. Traxxas replaced it and the pinion. I use...

Bought an 8S and ran it on 6S for 3 years and broke nothing.

This year I upgraded my batteries to 8S and, fun costs money.

Steering knuckle, servo gears, and horn.

I’ve heard of their TSM system can cause strange things to happen. Try adjusting the setting.

Traxxas has decent support. Definitely give them a call.

I would look up the metal gear kit for...

IMHO if you bash then go with the lower KV.

You should b able to gear up to any (UN) reasonable speed but retain the ability to gear down if you are bashing in rough terrain.

I have always kept shock socks on my 4 year old 8S. I used the TBone racing ones but just ordered some cool green lightning ones.

I broke my first shock cap last summer and the shock was still...

Then why did his servo horn break and he feels he needs a stronger one?

The servo saver only absorbs some of the shock.

Typically if something breaks, it is absorbing energy from the crash.

If the same amount of energy that broke the plastic arm would transfer into the gears of the servo.......well you may want to...

After breaking my first one today I was wondering if there were any aftermarket alternatives to this basic $7 US part?

I see they are still using it on the Hoss.

Looking for a genuine reason...

This is the one place where an aluminum upgrade works, if your servo is up to a bigger hit.

Remember, if the plastic doesn't give something farther up the line might.

I am running both an XMAXX and and 4Pede, aka a 4WD.

I have had my 4 Pede for 6 years or so ago. I keep it to play with when the X is too big or broke.

The Hoss is a new model based on the...

It’s mostly how you ran it.

I ran my X on 6 S for 3 years and never broke anything but the speed spur.

This year I went to 8S and have broken several parts. More air time will do that.

Got my new chassis soaking in black dye right now.

Maybe this weekend.
