I also have the JConcepts overtray, but it traps a lot of heat, still lets stuff in, and doesn't fit with my MAX10 SCT. I'd get the dusty motors

Those things are 14+ for a reason! The toy idea is great, and maybe you could get a 6 cell NiMH to let him try out when he is 7-9 or something.

There have recently been some threads about best upgrades. Those can be really helpful. Racing and bashing RC's can benefit from different upgrades (for example, the LCG chassis is great for racing,...

I just kept the dogs inside when driving, though now they ignore my slash, so I just avoid running them over so everything's fine

For some reason, the NiMHs that were stock with my friends brushed slashes could reach 10V

I have > 100 posts, and have been a member for > 3 months, yet I haven't managed to figure out how to add a profile pic. Am I missing something?

I know it doesn't stay well. I've replaced it once as well. But that little extra 15 min. a year shouldn't matter, right?

Use aluminum tape to prevent tire rub. Way easier to apply

I think the play in the center drive shaft is so that if the chassis flexes, the shaft doesn't bend, because it has room to move.

I think the scuffs are from the steering crank. If you steer...

Bigger pinion --> more load on motor --> heat in motor
Smaller pinion --> more load on ESC (due to higher RPM) --> heat in ESC

I haven't ever had heat issues in my ESC after I got a fan for it,...

Should be approx. The same than. Tnx!

And how does it compare to the smaller 2400kv? Is it worth it getting a 6s system? It would cost $150 more

Why did you post the exact same question twice?

3500kv × 12t ≈ 2050kv × 20t, so theoretically the same speed.

Would a 2050kv with a 20t run almost the same speed as the stock setup, with the same LiPos? Or should I gear down and use a higher...

And the VXL has different body options

If you get 2x 3s 4000mAh LiPos, I can almost guarantee that you won't need more run time. I have a big 8500 mAh (too heavy), and I've never emptied it on a full charge.

The great thing about...

Tnx for the answers!

I already have sway bars. Would you go for the LCG or GTR first? They're the same price. I'll assume I have a 2400kv by then

The LCG (obviously) has a lower centre of gravity. This (obviously) means it corners better. But it also means it has a lower ground clearance. In forests and such it doesn't seem like a problem:...

Yea, RCs reproduce like rabbits. I wish my money did that too…

There is an ARRMA forum, just so you know.

The senton and slash are both 1:10 SCTs, so I'd guess they can be upgraded the same.

Most people say...

Just get a powerful amazon servo with a lot of good reviews. There is a $35 35kg servo with over 300 4+ star reviews. I don't think you can get better value.

Also, choosing a servo like that...

Probably, but you'll need the extended battery mount for the extra height

Graphene gives extra C rating, but you won't need that unless you (drag)race, or want the absolute best performance

Won't that just fit under the extended battery mount?

Sorry, it sent it a 2nd time for some reason
