As long as you stock with the brushed ESC/motor combo, to both using an adapter, and using Dean's (T-connector) should be fine. However, if/when you are ready to upgrade to a brushless system, I...

No. If I remember correctly, the S8 connectors (like the S7 connectors I use in several of my FE boats) are bullet connectors inside individual plastic housings. The QS8 connectors are closer to...

Kinda sounds like me...I 'dislike' orange, but that's the primary color I'll be painting mine.

Mine fit without any problems. There should be 5 screws...1 long one, and 4 shorter ones, as well as the oval-shaped metal piece that you have to shove (deep) into the recess on the bottom. I'm not...

Only "problem" with the Nova body is that it's like trying to spot Stop signs...they're everywhere. The Nova body is one of the most commonly-used bodies for no-prep cars.

Sweeeeeet...I dig the metallic purple. I'll be using the Camaro body on the no-prep drag car I'm just about finished building.

The exact same "heat matter" exists when running 3S is the other vehicles containing the VXL system. This is not a "problem", so there's no reason to have a 'beef' work Traxxas.

First, area you...

Received the returned ESC & motor, tho I still don't know what, exactly as the problem(s) was/were. I know (from my phone call to Castle last week) that they did 'something' to the motor...I just...

Based on your vehicles, Deans is about the worst thing you could be using. I'm surprised something hasn't fried by now. Deans is great for low-power/low-Amp-draw, but not for larger/heavier...

Sorry, but, there is no "one connector to rule them all". Granted, I don't know what vehicles you have, as you didn't specify, but the connector for each vehicle needs to be appropriate to the...

I second the Power HD suggestion...great servosaver, powerful, low-priced, metal gears...plus, most of them are waterproof.

According to USPS tracking is to it should be delivered tomorrow. As it's highly probable it won't be delivered until after I've left for work, or shortly before I leave, I won't be able to...

Then it seems that 3 of us (out of 5) ordered ours through Amain...but, I'm also fairly certain that Amain has nothing to do with it, as the packaging was factory sealed.

My initial testing, before installing, was done with "storage" level battery. Testing once ESC & motor were installed was done with fully-charged pack. Since yours is a different motor, but the...

First test, outside vehicles, sensored motor operated (tho the 'sound' was "off"). After installing, the spur & pinion just "vibrated" back & forth. It was almost as if there was some 'binding'...

Just remember that the RPM arms flex considerably more than the Traxxas arms.

Should be. The 'standard' for all SCT tires is 2.2" x 3.0". The stock tires are made for street & dirt...not even for clay. If running/racing on clay, you want clay-specific tires...and, if racing...

No, NOT plastic pinion...and, NEVER Loctite plastic. Use steel pinion & plastic spur. Putting Loctite on the plastic probably softened it up.

Whoever is behind JRC, gotta love them for what they do. Obviously, they're turning a profit (if they weren't, they wouldn't still be in business)...but, they're also saving the rear of us (ie. the...

On my R4sty (think, shorter Sl4sh), I swapped out the Traxxas electronics, replacing them with a HW XR8 Plus & XERUN 3652 4300kV motor. With this, I ran using XT60...and, I never had any problems. ...

There is NO different between front & rear diffs...they are 100% identical. Take them apart of completely clean every individual part, and then fill them with diff fluid of your choosing. Just...

"Good" for several of us, as I'm just one of at least a few (truthfully, I have no way of knowing how many others) who purchased this combo recently, and we all experienced the exact same problems. ...

Have some good news for you...I just heard back from Castle regarding the motor & ESC.

As I already knew...and, as I believe I already mentioned (just can't remember if it was in here, or via...

Good news...just heard back from Castle regarding the motor & ESC. As I already knew, the motor had been repaired. Over the phone, they didn't tell me, specifically, what the problem was, but I do...

Never said I "didn't like it". For the gearing I was running at the time, and the 4100kV motor on 2S, it worked fantastic. However, running that deep in 3S proved...uh...'problematic'? Lol. If...
