Wow crazy. Love mip stuff. I've never broke one yet. But I also dont use one as a aligning punch lol. Its possible it had a defect in it in the first place.
I love my 2wd slash. A kit version would be awesome.
I guess I'm old I just use clips. I keep meaning to try some magnets on my boys truck. My friend has magnets on some of his trucks but he uses earth magnets on the body and swears by them.
The battery talk my boy and me have is dad when are you going to teach me to use the battery charger. I tell him not any time soon. Hes not responsible enough to watch them while they charge. He gets...
Thata a good color. The only problem is the windows are still blacked out.
It's a great looking truck project you have there. Good job.
For sure, having the right set up for tires and foams will make a great difference. I've got the ci novas in two different tire section my lhs guy swears by. I got a local outing with the trucks...
You can never have to many crawlers, lol. My boy and me each have one trx4. One day I wouldn't mind a blazer or something with the short wheelbase.
Good choice on the samix brass kit. They look really good. I put a set on mine and really like them. I have not driven the truck since I put them on yet. Currently my trx4 build is in the process....
That's funny. Getting another body before your done, lol.thats ok. It's good to have hobby projects. I'm plenty guilty of that myself. I've got lots of stuff I buy and work on later when i get time....
I'll agree cutting out the body is terrible, I don't like it either. I have a buddy that uses a good grade exacto knike than scores it out than breaks off the pieces. Myself I use a lexan straight...
It's really great to have a space to work on your trucks. Make the space something you want to be in. I use to have a space dedicated for the hobby till I moved. Now it's mostly together but I need...
I love the picture of the truck, you should definitely build something like this for sure. Hope it works out good. Remember to post progress when you get it going.
Also keep in mind with trying to reach that power and speed will take some extra care when handling. You will have to be easy on the throttle when starting out. Also when you get something put...
Hope you get what you want out of it. Like mentioned I dont think anyone is willing to pay full price from someone. Especially since it has no 30 day warranty to back it up. If I was buying it...
Imo I love both so far. I use both savox and hitec. Both have been great. No problems with either. I look for whatever I need spec wise with a servo and so far to date pick between these two. My fav...
Crawling is great fun. Cant speak of the sport, we have the defender and a bronco. Awesome your loving your sport. My trx4 is getting some love the last while. Brass weights, new body, new wheel and...
I'm assuming you mean mip bits? If so your off to a great start. As you progress in the hobby you will find other tools needed. Mip bits to use with a low power impact, soldering gun, wire...
I've loved the traxxas bodies on my trucks. The trx4 defender and bronco seem to be very durable imo. When we were out running trucks a friend of mine rolled his tactical trx4 off a rocky hill and...
The vxl system is good. I've got a cc sidewinder 3 in mine and love it over the vxl system. If I remember right the sidewinder 3 is discontinued. So you could get a sidewinder 4 system with a 3800kv....
Welcome aboard. Easy does it on the throttle lol. It's a great truck. You'll have lots of fun with it.
Like any hobby, if you really get into enough it can get very expensive. There's different ways to buy parts, used, cheap knock off brands, and the big brand aftermarket parts. There is no right or...
It has snap on written on it so it must be worth $8,000 just like some of their tool boxes. If it said harbor freight on it, it would be $50, lol.
Its been some time I have to admit since I got my summit out. Cant even think of the last time I ran it. Its been dumping snow like crazy here. We've been cooped up to long and going crazy.
