I personally wouldn't use WD40 on my electronic parts. It conductive and leaves a conductive coating. If I clean inside my electronic parts I use an electronic chem wash. On the outside, I use a...

If you did what I did to make my Emaxx reliable at 6s you'd be right around 150 to 200 bucks.

I know, like you say, that there's a chance that they won't go down in price at all, but who knows for sure what the future will bring. The big thig for me is that all my stuff works right now, and I...

It does take more time to tape up tires than to string them, but it's not harder to do. I use Acetone and a close container to soak my wheels in for a day to get them unglued. It takes about 15...

Speaking only for myself, I wouldn't go out of my way to get sensored for my Emaxx (right now) due to the difference in the price and me being a basher, but down the road I'm sure they will get...

Yep, on the inside with the duct tape of your choice. Most guys like and use Gorilla Tape.

Clean the hull with Windex and paper towels, or you can also use a thin wet micro-fiber rag. To lube the bearings in your motor use a few drops of High Speed Bearing Oil on each bearing. For your...

Yes, some guys do install water pumps, but they're not needed. The only time you don't have cool water running though the boat's cooling system is when the boat is sitting still...who does that? If...

Not to say that the string trick doesn't work really good, and not to say that you didn't do a nice neat job with your tires. It does and you did, but, I personally never cared for the look. It is a...

I found that first post on how to make your own bushings. You have to go down a ways, because that's back when we all got screwed over by Photobucket (pictures start at post 18). Also, it has that...

That's what I understand. From what the guys told me back in that one post (several years ago), they said that link went sugar-lumps up. I had it in my "favorites" for future use, but dumped it when...

Wow! That's a big difference from when I got mine. I'm glad I bought a bunch of them when I had the chance. There must be a difference between them shipping to the U.S. and them shipping to Canada....

I still have and use my original 6s Traxxas tires (when I use (54/29 gearing). I use my Proline's when I use 54/26 gearing. The big thing with the stock Xmaxx tires (6s or 8s rated) is to take them...

Good for you! I hope you like it.

I'd order replacement parts, and keep them on hand. It won't last forever. If it breaks before your done for the season, you won't be down while you wait for parts. If it makes it to the end of your...

The only time I run my Xmaxx at the beach or in lots of mud is at the end of the season, because I know I'm going to completely break it down anyway getting it ready for the next season. Other than...

A lot happened from post 26 to post 52. Originally, I made my bushings, and posted how I made them out of Traxxas parts in another post. In that post, one of the guys found that you could get them...

You did a really nice job on your body...really nice!

That's funny, but in Maryland that guy would get pulled over in about 5 minutes.

Someday when my non-sensored MM2 motor and ESC fail, I'll definitely go sensored. Until then though, I'm to much of a cheapskate to just do it for the heck of it. (lol)

I don't know if COVID19 has anything to do with it now, but back when I got mine, I got 20 bushings shipped to me for a total price of just under 30 bucks. It took just under a month to get them, and...

I needed longer than they sell leads too, so I made all mine. Plus, I made my discharge leads too. You can get all that stuff (battery plugs, balance boards, and silicon wire) on Amazon.

Remember to re-read post #37 before you do. Good luck!

Yep, I second that emotion.

Man, 30 bucks just for shipping a hand full of bushings. Yeah, you'd almost have to get a personal loan out to pay for that. (lol) That's crazy!
