Yeah, I gave away my only Traxxas LiPo to a friend who had a traxxas charger because I didn't know they made adapters and he couldn't charge any other battery.

I actually like the look of the Mercedes body, the light kit is rally what brings it all together. My Defender has the full light kit with the rock lights and everything and it's a little...

Ah, you are absolutely in the right spot! I'm glad you were able to find your way to posting this!

Are you absolutely sure that your brakes are the things locking up? If so, the first thing that...

You're fine, I was thinking that it flexed with the compression/extension of the piston allowing oil to flow around it or something.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll take a look and see what I want to...

There are plenty of pretty decent chargers out there for a good price that can charge both your Traxxas and non-Traxxas batteries with no problem. I use a Hi-Tech charger and it is more then capable...

Is there a specific kit that you guy recommend?

What is the advantage of the red silicone shock piston over the stock one?

That's a good idea, I guess I'll just do that.

What I really wanted was some shocks with working oil reservoirs but the only ones that I found are on Banggood and have bad reviews.

I've had my my Trx-4 for a couple of years now (when I got mine there were only 3 options: Defender, Tactical, and Sport) and since then I haven't ran it as much as I wanted to. I has the full light...

Honestly, with how many upgrades are on it I would do $1,400 max. It probably weighs a ton due to all of the aluminum upgrades and the stock power system will be little underpowered, the first thing...

Doesn't Traxxas include a tool for that exact purpose? It is just a flat piece of metal with a slot in it and you use it for prying the hexes off.

Definitely, it's way easier for a company to make a cheap motor than a cheap ESC. I have a "nicer" 1/10 scale motor on my brothers Rally but it is ran off a $25 ESC and it is terrible, the motor...

I would be careful if I were you, using coverings over the electronics sounds good in practice (it keeps all of the dust out), but in reality it causes a lot of heat to build up underneath. Even if...

They will most likely fry if you overvolt them, or at least lose a lot of life. I wouldn't recommend it.

The best way to tell is by using a DC regulated power supply, then slowly cranking up the voltage until the light turns on. If you have some cheapo emitters then 3-6 volt is a safe bet, but if you...

1.8 Amps is he max current the LED can take, though you will definitely want to run it under that maybe 1 Amp. Now the big question would be if you want to run the LED alone, in series or in...

I can check the datasheet on the LED but you will have to measure the current supplied by the traxxas power supply.

I have several Traxxas related 3D models in Autocad (Trx-4 and E-revo accessories) that would probably be cool prints. The question is, can you even use Autocad for 3D printing?

They might have arrows molded into the plastic somewhere that indicates which orientation they go in.

Before you buy anything just check your spur and pinion gear, My Trx-4 does the same thing and it's just because the spur is worn in a way that it clicks when throttle is applied, but there has to be...

It looks good man! I run the Badlands MX38 on my E-revo and they seem to have a pretty big sidewall (for a basher).

Good luck waiting for those to go bald, I run my Prolines pretty hard on road...

I don't know if that would've actually fried the ESC unless switching it between LiPo and NiMH physically changes the circuitry. The LiPo mode just adds a LVC nothing else really.

You're fine, it was more of my bad. From what I've seen on these forums people tend to ignore the rules when it comes to non-Traxxas products being promoted (the admins are not to keen on such...

Sorry I was merely informing the OP of the rules in case he had not seen them before, I know that he is new to the forums such as I a few months back. My intentions were not to disrupt the thread but...

Thanks for correcting me, I stated that off of my understanding of the rules. It was more of a heads up just in case, not necessarily an order to follow the guidelines. I am still learning as...

In terms of upgrades, I compiled this list a while ago in hopes that I can help someone decide what purchases they would like to make to improve their Traxxas vehicle.

It really depends on what...
