Stock plastic wears away to almost nothing from abuse. I bought an integy kit (before I knew better) and the bulkhead is the only integy part I still have on my truck. It has taken some serious abuse.

What happened to "The mail will go through"? Or is that just the U.S.? lol. Baldy, are you rich? lol. I can't even convince my wife that I need Lipos and a charger!

I absolutely love the dtx 4600's. They seem to blow away my venom 5000's. If you're going to spend the money however, I would definitely save up a bit more and go with lipos...I wish I would have....

Thanks alot Absoloot! I'm building a pede out of pieces now, I bought the protrac kit to incorporate so I can see what all the fuss is about!

Yes, the body is JConcepts Raptor.

I didn't have...

Thanks Dugsagun...I'm going to try that out. I almost went on ebay to get the locker but I like this idea.

Has anyone ever tried to lock the rearend on a 2wd? It would be so nice if it could be done without sacrificing integrity. If so, are the steel gears strong enough to actually run it like that?

I am quickly becoming a huge fan of JConcepts! I finally put the Rocx's on yesterday and these things are Soooo cool! Not only do they look great but I find the Slampede ripping itself over obstacles...

I had 2 of em....lost em both!

Is there a way to reset the xl-5 speed control? My sons truck had lights wired into the am reciever and they kept burning the lights up every time I put new ones in, I thought it might have something...

Still a really cool idea...and I bet u had a blast coming up with it. I love just sitting in the garage for hours tinkering. Body looks way cool too!

I have a similar problem...I did what you did and it works like a champ with my 2.4 reciever...with a fan for the vxl-3. My kids stampede xl-5 has the am reciever and it keeps blowin lights out so I...

Good to know...that's what I'm running now. The Rocx tires awesome, that green compound is good stuff!

Just got em...they're the same height as my trenchers

I'm getting the rocx tires from jconcepts. Yeah, I meant taller gear, lower ratio

Does anyone have any gear recommendations for 2.2 tires on my slampede? I know I have to go to a higher ratio and I want something comparable to 86/18 with the stock tires.

LOL thanks man! I feel like an idiot! Like I said, this happened once before...I must've been running it way loose. I just ran a pack through it with no heat issues. My neighbor, who's a state...

An 1/8 of a turn? no kidding! I've always gone 1/2 to 3/4. but that makes sense. because no it's not rubbing. Ihave about a credit cards width between the plate hub and the case. I'm giong out now to...

When I went out out to take the pics I noticed that the clutch disc was blue from heat. perhaps I did have the clutch too loose? I was too focused on the extreme heat to notice when I took it back...

It's exactly how it was before. This is the first time I've had the tranny apart. The mark on the case was like that frome before and the old plate looks exactly like the new one does. I don't see...

Sorry, I didn't even think of pics!!

...my clutch is 3/4 of turn off of snug. What about grease? I used regular high temp auto grease.

This happened once before...I thought it was motor heat.
I'm running a VXL and steel geared transmission. After some wet muddy running, I took everything apart to clean it and decided to take the...

I also have the trenchers...super cool and grippy. Direct fit and non directional.

Thanks Carlos....anyone have any thoughts on those batteries Carlos linked?
I've been doing alot of research and I'm thinking for the money I spent on a charger and batteries, I may stick with Nimh...

I just answered my extra lead question, sort of, from reading another thread.

I have read up on alot of batteries that say they are comparable to 8.4 volt nimh's. I don't want comparable as I have...
