Edit, thinking 2wd, nm
Have you adjusted the spur/pinion gear mesh lately? I’ve gotten that too tight accidentally and found that it introduced drag. It made my 2wd not roll as freely. I didn’t run it long enough to get...
You need to get some blue loctite (removable) and put it on the screw going into the rear carrier. The plain screw going into the aluminum is going to vibrate loose on its own. Another way would be a...
Possibly a stripped gear in the steering servo. Did you take any hard hits to one of the front wheels while driving it? If it is that it’s not too hard to replace the gears inside. Traxxas has both...
I disagree on this. Traxxas sells the TSM transmitter/receiver as an upgrade and there is no mention of needing a special ESC. There are numerous threads here of people using it with complete castle...
The gyro is in the receiver. The ESC should not be part of the equation as TSM is making adjustments by providing correction signals to the steering servo. Throttle is not modulated. You do need to...
Factory Works has made some chassis kits that mount mid motor. Contact Jeff via their Facebook page. They can make it from G10 or CF. They stopped selling them on eBay but still sell them direct when...
The pinion to spur mesh may be too tight. That can do that. If the mesh is too tight it won’t roll freely either and will come to a stop much faster than normal. Try to loosen it a bit and see if the...
Not open it try to flush out whatever contamination is in it.
Maybe try cleaning out the motor can before you do anything else. It likely has some contamination in it. Use motor/electronic cleaner and douse it good to flush everything out. If you keep trying to...
I think the Blazer also comes with a light kit installed which along with the licensing to GM accounts for the difference. The Bronco which is in between the two doesn’t have the lighting.
Hopefully that red loctite will hold and save you some money. If not you might also be able to try some epoxy. I have seen a few people try that.
You could probably also clean it out and install new bearings to get it going again for less. It likely just the bearings that are bad.
Lots of them $40 shipped on eBay as well.
The rotor magnet has come loose from the shaft. It might be possible to repair by re gluing it? It might also be possible to replace the rotor assembly in the motor. I know you can buy them for the...
It’s a safety / liability thing most likely. The iD connector is the same thing. They are trying to make it really hard for an inexperienced user to mess up with Lipos.
Aluminum looks pretty but it will get bent where a plastic part may flex and keep on going. If you are driving in any kind of way that is rough you will be better off sticking with plastic for most...
The screws used to attach the shocks at the aluminum caps are called shoulder screws. The shoulder for the screw is designed/sized to be a little longer than the thickness of the bore in the cap....
Based on the battery finder you show above the 135mm 3s packs will fit. The 155mm 3s packs would not.
I don’t have a short one to compare. You could consider replacing the chassis if needed. They are available for $15 or less shipped on eBay. The chop shops end up with a lot of them.
Have fun.
The new connectors make it simpler for new users and safer with the iD. Gen 1 traxxas connectors mate with iD and do work for batteries to connect to the ESC/ charger and your new...
I went down and actually measured one I have taken off a Rustler VXL. The exposed end of the antenna is 29mm long. This is the insulated wire with the outer cover and shielding removed. It looks like...
It is set like that to improve the handling of the vehicle. It will do that with some increased wear as a part of the trade off. As they have said above you can reduce it from 4 degrees per side to 1...
On the 2.4 GHz radios only the exposed metal end is the actual antenna. It needs to be about 32mm long.
