The newer software on the Traxxas ESCs is all like this. I think the reason that it is like that is to make you unplug the batteries so that you don't forget about them and leave them plugged in...
Video featuring the Bronco!:lol:

Another video featuring my Defender (should probably film my Bronco more often as well). :thumbup:

These are the ones that I am using (I have them on both front and rear on my Bronco) and they seem to give me the performance I need (I might get a pair of brass C-hubs to make it a bit more front...
Brass portal weights would lower the CG, if there's too much, but it makes the car more ungainly.
Here you go: :thumbup:

You will need to lengthen the suspension links as well.
I'm pretty sure it is. The plug on the stock ESC is directly off of the battery, so I would assume so. The output voltage is 3V.
Jumping from a 4x4 to a 2wd may not be an easy change, since it only has one axle driving (and braking) the car. If she mainly drives onroad, she probably wouldn't notice too much other than it being...
Canyon Trail 1.9" stretched on to 2.2" wheels, it looks like.

They look like a set of beadlocks.
Something sounds loose in the transmission. It could be caused by a missing shim some place in the transmission.
The BEC essentially just supplies current to the receiver, servo, ESC, motor, etc.
There are two main types of BECs—internal and external (BEC stands for Battery Eliminator Circuit; earlier in the...
It could be the ESC. The internal BEC of the ESC may have been overtaxed for current (under high load), which damaged the ESC.
I've seen Integy make aluminum ones, but they seem to have the exact same design as the Proline ones. I would just pick the Proline body mounts, since it is cheaper, and probably would hold up longer...
Welcome to Traxxas Forums! :thumbup:
Before you change anything, check the connection between the motor and the ESC, and if that isn't it, it could also be the connection between the ESC and...
The Traxxas Kumho Road Ventures work pretty well for me onroad, but it's probably not ideal. I've heard that the Duratrax Banditos are pretty popular.
That is correct. The XL-5 has a 6V BEC, and the CC SW has a 5V BEC.
If you want brighter lights, you can get an external BEC (not really worth it for the price or effort imho, unless you get a...
If it's out of your budget, then aluminum shock caps, TiN shock shafts, and a rebuild kit for the ultra shocks would also be a good option.
Just FYI, but you can find a set of GTRs cheaper from...
I have tried doing so on both the 2wd and 4x4. It works on the 2wd, but on the 4x4, even if you manage to, your steering angle would be severely limited. If you want to run soft crawler tires on the...
Hello and welcome to Traxxas Forums! :thumbup:
For the shocks, Traxxas GTR shocks are the most durable (and adjustable), but you can't go wrong with the big bore shocks either in terms of...
No problem! And yes, the pictures definitely help! :thumbup:
Like KennethMiller19 said, it's an LCG Slash. Aluminum shock caps, aluminum rear hub carriers, aluminum caster blocks, aluminum...
Positrons are ideal for soft clay, so they wear pretty fast if ran on the pavement. As for the other set of tires, Traxxas makes three types. One is not directional, which is the BFG KM2s, and the...
Could be true! And maybe driveshafts as well.
My Slash 4x4 is pretty light (no roll-cages or anything), and I am just using the standard piston size that came with the GTR (did not try other hole sizes yet).
As for longer shocks on the front,...
