If you want really good servos and don’t mind spending for one, look at MKS servos. They have one that is 900oz plus. Not cheap though at nearly $200.

Max Amp batteries are overrated and way over priced. SMC makes some high MAH batteries that fit the summit. 8000mah batteries for under$42.95.

Have you tried to tighten the slipper clutch? If not, it’s the small nut in front of the spur gear. You may have glazed the clutch pads. If tightening the slipper clutch doesn’t work, check the...
Looks like a capacitor pack. Or what some call a ripple killer. Benefit is that it delivers smooth electrical flow, which in turn both enables your ESC to work more efficiently in sending power to...
Yes you’ll need to run dual 2s lipos with the summit. There is no limit to how much MAH you can use. The ESC will only draw what it needs. Both batteries need to be the same MAH, same C rating and...
Don’t leave out the Reef’s Triple 4 or Triple 5 servos. There’s a YouTube vid floating around that shows the massive power they can produce. Not cheap though.

First let me ask why are you wanting to do this?? And as for switching gears, it’s Either through the optidrive device or RPM’s. Never heard of anyone wanting to switch a slash 4x4 to 2 speed...
A 100c battery will not damage anything. The ESC will only use what it needs. As for a 6s lipo X2, no that would be way too much voltage and just throw the ESC into over voltage. Use 2 x 4s...
Agreed. Going down in wire size is not what you want to do. This will create a bottleneck and cause heat issues and possibly damage your electronics due to inadequate power getting to the esc. As...
Leave it bare man! Looks very nice as it sits! Keep up the great work!! Love the bowling bowl! Had an old low rider painted bowling bowl green. Nice to see it’s still a cool way to paint!

With the front end being so light your going to get lifting. You can try and add a spoiler made of Lexan on the front end. I believe the rustler speed run guys use a brass weight to keep the front...
Man this dude just doesn’t seem to grasp the idea of self reliance in any sense of the term. We are not babysitters here and yes there are some DARN knowledgeable folks on this forum. You are...
Megawatt makes a darn good power supply. You can get a 400w one for $60. A 350w one is only $50. I use these power supplies for my HF radios and they are clean power and can go up to 15v. I ran...
Here is what is says about slow blinking red.
Slow Blinking Red (with Low-Voltage Detection on): The VXL-3s has entered Low-Voltage Protection. When the battery voltage begins to reach the...
The magenta may be glazed in the motor from excessive heat caused by a bad bearing or running 3s WOT without monitoring temps. Either way the motor may need to be rebuilt on the inside. New rotor...
Yep if you are going through spur gears there is definitely an issue. As said check motor mount, bearings, and related parts. I will also add that I have had the same spur gear on both my summit...
Same here. Get the aluminum shaft and man please take care of the rust. It will come back to bite you in the rear if you don’t.
It looks like the end that slides into the outdrive cups is missing the pin or part that keeps it in place inside the outdrive cup as pictured here on the right end of them....
Do yourself a favor and ditch at least the blue wire to the low plug and get yourself a proper glow plug ignitor. Then you can remove the glow plug and plug it into the ignitor very quickly and see...
Don’t personally have the link. Just the app on my phone. You can enter the app and get into some settings without having a Bluetooth link. I would highly recommend one though as they make things...
Well at least you made some headway about the issue. I will say that a sensor less brushless motor will cog a little on take off. It’s normal and you’ll experience it more as you gear up. ...
Wow!! You scored man!! Where do you live LOL!!
If all other stuff you have done isn’t helping, as said, check the motor wires for solid connection to esc. If that doesn’t help, I would think that the only option left is to update the ESC. If in...
I’ve seen where some get around this by mounting the esc into one of the battery bays. You may have to mod the chassis for this as well. But it’s the only way I’ve seen a larger esc like yours be...
Even tightening the stock screws too tightly can affect the way the diff works. Been there and done that.
