I use an SMC alarm on each battery.

I wouldn’t use xt60s. The xmaxx can easily pull well over 100amps. Go with xt90s or the ec5s like you mentioned.

Thanks. I was already leaning towards castle but I think that’s the final push.

I agree if they made it optional that would have been great.

I also have a question about brakes. With...

Interesting. I did some reading/watching on this hobbywing FOC. It does sound a bit strange.
So it’s opposite of a typical ESC, which would behave more like driving an actual vehicle right?

I...

Cool. Thanks for all your help guys. I think I’m going with castle and the mamba x/slate motor combo. I am leaning towards the 2280kv though.

I’ve never had a sensored brushless motor before. What happens if the sensor signal is lost? Could it have some slight hesitation as the ESC tries to figure out the position of the rotor like on a...

I have actually been searching for that as that’s really the only thing I don’t like about the castle. But I haven’t found much. Got any good links?

Apparently the ESC is pretty water proof...

I sent them an email. See what hobbywing says. I don’t think I’d buy something that was released fairly recently only to be discontinued. I’d probably just go with the castle instead.

Not the 550 size. https://www.hobbywingdirect.com/products/hobbywing-axe-550-system-for-rock-crawler

Amain hobbies is saying the 550 Axes are discontinued? So I’m not really sure what’s going on with that. Hobbywing only wants to be contacted by email.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there any real benefit going with a lower KV motor other than a lower top speed? Is torque notability different?

Another thing is I’m just not sure which setup to get. What KV I want or even what size 540 or 550.

I’m looking to keep things fairly scale here. I’m not interested in my Defender pulling...

I’m seeing the hobbywing has an auto level drag brake setting. Which automatically adjusts how much drag brake is applied depending on your speed.

Does anyone have any experience with that?

I’ve entered down the rabbit hole and now the hobbywing axe system is looking very nice...oops

I do have a question about the app. Can I set up individual profiles that are easy to change? For...

I’m looking for some ESC/motor advice. I originally wanted to upgrade the steering servo which requires the $40 upgraded BEC. Seeing as a hobbywing 1080 is the same price it seems like a no brainer. ...

Yea. Definitely try contacting traxxas again and talk to someone else.

You need the BEC

Does the Rubicon body use the same body post heights as the defender?

For that price I think I’d rather have 7 stock shafts.

Somethings got to give, and with a crash an damage like that I don’t know if even the carbon fiber shaft would survive.

In my picture above is exactly the way I found the pin upon removing the wheel during cleaning the truck after a run. The pin wasn’t going out from the screw hole end. The arm must have flexed open...

It’s not the pin coming out from the hole.
It’s that the arms can flex/spread so much the pin pops out.

Ahhhhhh...

MIP are made entirely in USA.

maybe some sort of drone would be better suited for your needs?

What exactly are you trying to inspect?
