You should look at your original slash thread. You already have an answer there.

The 3300Kv would be best for grass. It won't heat up as quickly. You can go 3s on that system, but be prepared for some extreme power. If you don't plan on going 40-50 MPH, then stick to 2s....

Because Tea is only running a NiMH battery, it would probably be better to get a higher KV motor, such as the castle 4600Kv to get more speed unless he is getting a 3s battery soon.

Sensored ESC's and motors eliminate cogging. The sensors in the motor allow the ESC to tell what position the motor is in before starting and stops cogging from happening. Putting motor wires...

My sidewinder 4 3800kv system gets like 1.5 to 2 hour runtimes (estimating, never timed it.) on a 5200mah 3s battery. The Esc is pretty much always cool, but if you are running in warm weather and...

Any of those systems can be run on a NiMH battery if you set it up right. Personally, I would go with the Castle Sidewinder 4 SCT edition. I am running that system with 16/90 gearing on 3s LiPo in my...

You would not believe how strong 3D printed parts are when they are done right. Just like you, I thought that they were not very strong, but there are some 3D printed things that I have tried to just...

My Dad has 2 Ender 3 Pro's for his business (one was converted to a dual head). I would compare this printer to a Traxxas Rustler 2wd. It is a cheap, simple, upgradable, intuitive, entry level...

Your spur gear got eaten up because you had your mesh to loose. I have been running only plastic spurs in my 3s brushless stampede for over 2 1/2 years and only shredded 2. You want to set your gears...

I also unplug the battery, but I turn the ESC off with the ez set button.

I never read the red tag on the XL-5 ESC and I found out that you are supposed to unplug the battery to turn off the ESC. Does anyone know why you have to do this? I have just been pressing the ez...

Welcome to the hobby!

What hot wheels did you collect, new ones or the '60s and '70s ones?

I am not sure how to set endpoints of traxxas transmitters, but it is possible that your not getting enough power to the servo. I am no expert in this, so I think you will just have to wait for a...

:p~ That collection is worth THOUSANDS of dollars! I can't believe what I am seeing! Take good care of those cars and keep them safe NitroBugg! If only I had a collection of original hot wheels that...

What servo are you running? It is possible that you need a capacitor for your receiver, or your BEC amperage or voltage may be too low to support the servo you are running. If not that, then your...

I know on my stampede, even with cut out fenders, the tires still rub on the body due to the truck's flexibility on jump landings. At full lock with standard length RPM arms and the 2.8 offset...

That is certainly sad to hear. I just wonder why would anyone want to hurt someone over rc truck. Hope you have a safe Christmas though.

It means those cars are both from 1977 or they are very worn out wheels. Either way, the orange one pictured (Porsche P-917) is probably from 1974-1977 and the chrome one (Neet Streeter) is from...

I saw your pictures, and do those two old hot wheels you pictured have redlines on the wheels?

Just bought and received this Hot Wheels Redline 1968 Custom T-bird. And yes, this car is 52 years old. It even came with the collectors button! :thumbup:

You can use a temperature gun if you want, but generally speaking, if it is too hot to touch, it is too hot to run. Check tumps after multiple speedruns or hard grass driving.

Racing a stampede for real must be tough. I have driven my stampede on hard pack clay track before, too. It is nice to see an active thread on the stampede forum though. It seems to be quite quiet...

No problem! Having an esc plate makes it WAY easier when you have to change out the chassis because I always am fighting the servo tape to get the esc off. And you can then reuse the servo tape...

But we're talking EXACT gear ratios here. The spur gear size is limited by the slipper clutch mounting plate if you go too small and if you go too big, it will hit the driveshaft. Pinion size is...

Maybe, but you can only change the gearing by messing with spur and pinion gears, which is a huge limiting factor.
