TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Great info guys! I’m gonna try this one out in stock form and go from there. Been watching lots of videos with paddle tires for sand/beach. Sand rooster tails look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Wags, do you know anyone that does repairs on brushless motors and esc’s? I bought a brushless for my sons rig from eBay and it was haggard. Wires to the esc are pretty tore up and they “fixed” it with some goop mess. Unfortunately the seller pulled a disappearing act and I’m stuck with it and a sad 11 year old. Edit: as for the connectors, you can buy traxxas ones on eBay but I recommend switching them to deans or Anderson power poles (or other quality connectors) A local hobby shop might be able to. Post a picture and I might be able to walk you through how to do it on your own depending on what's going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 I almost bought one of those for my son but the parts availability was questionable at the time. Has that cleared up? My boy is 11 so he breaks his.... A LOT. EDIT: If parts are available i'd rock one of them for myself so me and the boy can bash in the yard. EDIT 2: I was looking at this guy: https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLFWTNL&P=C Havent had any issue yet my other 2 biys have 2wd trucks. Parts wise i have looked online and they are out there. There is a shop local to me that can find anything I cant find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 https://imgur.com/sUyBGHZ https://imgur.com/CQcJZ3U not going to lie, I've seen some people fuck up RC stuff, but I've never seen that before. I don't think it's fixable, it looks like the case was damaged and they tried some repair that didn't go as planned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 That’s what I was afraid of. I may see if it’ll work and just try to keep it dry, salvage what life I can out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 From what I'm gathering, a 5k MAH would be much better. I did just order this. https://www.amazon.com/Traxxas-2970-EZ-Peak-Charger-Identification/dp/B00OAFYLJC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Depending on charge time, I keep at least 2 packs. One on charge while one in use. If charge time is slow you need to keep extras but eventually they'll either sit too long or just wear out from overuse. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
