Still in the box.... what the biscuits?? :O.o:

I have been resisting the urge to buy another one. Normally I get done with a group of parts all at once, and for one reason or another don't want...

A LCG rig has the same ground clearance as a HCG rig at the diff skids, so really you are just talking about a little bit more surface that is lower. Does it make a difference, not really, and is...

Yes and no.

If it were me, I would cut off that Tamiya plug, and put a male JST plug on it (the red plugs), that would make for a clean installation. Another option is to get a Molex (Tamiya) to...

Nope, you can't post them directly to the site. You need a photo host like Flickr to post pictures. You can also use Tapatalk through a mobile device to post pictures, just just have to make a...

It will be interesting to see how well they crawl. One thing front the get-go, you shouldn't have a problem with water retention in your foams.

As long as you are running an XL5 with an external ESC or an ESC like the HW1080 you'll be fine. That servo has plenty of torque at 6VDC, but its stall amperage is 2.55A, which will fry the XL5's...

Sometimes, it is like making sausage, even with a 3-D printer. You know the result is going to turn out good, but the process getting there is a bit ugly...

The pinion is a part easily and inexpensively replaced. Next time use some Loc-Tite, a good hex driver, and let it cure over night, and you'll be good to go.

A word of advise: If you are planning...

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!

The only masks I know of are on the unpainted body. You could make your own very easily, taking some time to get it right. When I make masks I use a thin piece of paper,...

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!



Taking this back the other way, it might be a 3VDC light bar. If it flickered once, then no longer comes on it is likely fried.

As stated above, you should be able...

I would go with batteries, they make the whole "RC" experience so much better.

Lots of people throw out mod suggestions, but really, without knowing how you drive it or where, they are a bit...

Must be missing something, did not see anything unusual.

If the wheel is running fairly true, then you should just have to squish the foam around inside the tire to get it so it is straighter on the wheel.

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!

When you look at the difference between NiMH and lipo, it almost seems apples-to-apples, its the number of cells x voltage. So, it would seem like a 7-cell NiMH should be...

That is perfectly doable. You should use packs with the same amperage and c-rating. You just wire them up in series and you'll get 6S voltage.

I would HIGHLY recommend that you draw out your...

You can get A LOT of printer for under $400. But, getting a printer that will build parts that will work in the snow, you'll have to go a little higher than that. Most, in not all sub $400 printers...

I built this guy, and it goes through snow like poop through a goose...

It all depends on what terrain you are wanting to drive on. If I were running were 4WD isn't really required, I'd lean towards the 2WD system.

The VXL isn't a bad RTR system, but it is certainly...

You just have to know how to talk to them. Tell them you are interested in becoming an engineer, and taking your RCs apart and putting them back together helps you understand how they are designed...

SMC for the win... :thumbup:

I have several of their packs, they are well built, their C-ratings are consistent with their performance, and for a reasonable price. They are direct order.

Both trailers look like they are good designs, and the builders have good write-ups.

Both seem to use PLA, but I wonder how well it would hold up, especially when exposed to lots of sunlight. It...

This is a good example of the tire widths available for the Slash:

For the most part, you want to look for 2.2/3.0 tires.

Good question. It really comes down to whichever company wants to have the biggest, baddest RC on the block.

For me, that is way too much RC, and when I think about 12S power mixed with my lack...

One of my favorite plugs to use for the small stuff are Deans Micro plugs. They compact and easy to solder. Because the package gives no real direction on polarity, plugs coming from the source are...

The Blazer and Defender have the same drive train with a 2-speed transmission and locking diffs. The Blazer has functioning LEDs and the Defender does not. The Defender is half and inch longer, and...
