Thanks mr wolf.

Thanks for all the input, great stuff! I'm trying to find a piece of 1/8" steel plate. I'm gonna fab something. Is the fiberglass tower a direct bolt on?

Looks like I'm in uncharted territory here. Guess I'll have to bust out my welder and do some fabricating...

I assume you have the brushed version? If so, the best upgrades IMO are a lipo battery, tires, and upgrade to brushless.

Other than using aluminum, has anybody modified the front shock tower to stop it from flexing so much? Looking for ideas. The stock, and rpm towers have the rigidity of a wet noodle. If you have a...

All I can think of is lower it down, and add fuel tubing inside the shock bodies to limit roll.

Does it make the noise with stock tires too?

Try going down teeth on the pinion gear. And consider drilling some 1/4 inch holes in the windshield. A transmission case with an aluminum mounting plate makes a huge difference in cooling. RPM or HR...

I dont think the tires are the cause. Sounds like the motor got too hot. Usually dies soon after. Use compressed air to clean it and lube the bushings at each end of the motor. Maybe it'll last a...

I went through 4 titan motors in 3 months. I finally switched to the brushless motor. The selling point was the durability and the low maintenance. The extra power was great too.

Doesn't that make it accumulate more dirt? I've ran about 30 to 40 battery cycles on the motor now, with no real maintenance on the motor. When is it time for the rebuild kit, after it shows signs of...

Before I tear everything apart, I've noticed the vxl motor is making a squeaking/squealing noise while driving at low speed. Is this a sign of a catastrophic future failure? Do I need to lube the...

Sounds fun, wish I had more people near me who wanted to race..

I guess that makes sense why they are outlawed.
I still am going to try a set out since my backyard track isnt sanctioned by ROAR :D I think my biggest problem is my truck pushes or understeers in...

I used to race stadium trucks years ago, and ribbed front tires were the norm. I was wondering why I never see short course trucks utilize them for racing. J concepts makes a set (carvers) and I was...

Excellent thanks!

Traxxas ID charger
Traxxas 3s lipo battery
I charged the battery for storage mode.
Do I need to do anything, like give the battery a normal charge before I use it again?

I would use duratrax pickets, they're like a rally style tire. Probably give you the longest tire life too. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the help.
The truck has traxxas aluminum castor blocks, steering blocks, and rear axle carriers.

Sweet, thanks.
