I'd get rid of my revo 2.0 the and get this the day it happens. Well... maybe not get rid of it... but it would definitely make me get rid of my savage flux hp.

If your getting a starter shaft, you should also get a new one way bearing as running a new shaft on old bearing will likely just cause it to wear the shaft prematurely. And if your replacing the...

Yep, I just ordered a full set of new cups and those boots to try on mine this season. I'm on my second set of cups in a year after flipping the first set....

From what I read, the castle sct sv3/3800kv combo wasn't great for 3S use. You'd likely be better off getting a 3665-3670 ~3000kv motor and either sticking with the vxl-3s esc or throwing a max10 sct...

After cleaning, just make sure to put a few drops of ARO on each bearing, conrod journals and the sleeve before pushing the piston in. Don't want things to be dry on your first startup after a clean...

I'm not sure. I ran 25% byrons in my 3.3's without messing with shims. I just ran a OS LC4 (medium) plug with it.

I usually use one wrap per channel and 2 channels. I use a long single 4 wrap knot, then glue the entire knot and put a dot of glue every other lug or so in case the cord breaks. Then it's not so...

I have a smaller 60W iron for 12awg on down and a larger 100W iron for bigger stuff. Both are just cheap amazon irons. I use a rheostat on both with it usually set between 7/8.

100W with rheostat:...

What lipo are you using in it?

Do you have a soldering iron?

You might have a cold solder joint either on your lipo, esc or either side of the motor bullet connectors. Cogging is usually a...

Buying belted tires prevents it. Taping the inside of the tire helps also. On my faster brushless trucks, I wrap my tires externally with 500lb cored kevlar cord. Keeps them from ballooning and...

Could try getting the lower % nitro and see if it still runs ok with that.

Might want to check your crank case for cracks near/under the mounting flanges. I had issues with that on my jato before...

Suppose you could try VG's:

Surprised RC Raven hasn't come out with a set for it yet.

Yep, I noticed that too. Since I don't have a maxx, I was only able to look at images online and they all look black to me.

Found them I think:

Although, $18 for boots... or $18 for new cups...

Heavier weight springs typically have less coils of a thicker wire. Although, 1.210lb vs 1.450lb may be difficult to see a thickness difference without a micrometer.

What boots are those? I think I saw you post them before, but after looking at mine... I think I want to give boots/grease a try.

As a side note... the more I look at the maxx... the more I want one. lol!

I read the instructions for the "wide maxx kit" and it says to move the rear springs to the front, which would suggest they are differing strengths.

Well, it could be that the LVC is lower in the new esc.

Also could be that your LVC isn't kicking in so quick because the packs aren't as stressed, so they are allowed to run lower. When packs...

I had a similar issue on my slampede with the t-bone center shaft. Luckily, I believe it's solid aluminum vs a tube. In my head, I thought it was just rocks getting stuck there, but then someone...

When mine was nitro, I used to run 17mm adapters and 1/8th buggy wheels/tires. 1/8th buggy badlands hooked up well in the grass:...

Did you regear your truck or change tires, motor, esc or anything since the last time they charged "normal"?

Hoping mine make it through the summer running 4S 4074 2050kv through it in my slampede... :)

I'm not sure of the shaft size. Next time I have a cup off, I'll measure it. Tried checking the exploded view hoping there was a shim or something inside the diff on those shafts, but nope.

That...

Taller gearing will pull more amps, so it may actually heat up the motor, as well as the esc. But if you can keep your hand on it, it's not that hot yet. 125F+ is uncomfortable to touch for long.
