    I think his Bronco electronics are but not sure on my Axial.

    That's a good idea, I'll do that with my Axial.

    Yeah fuck actual mud, I stay away from that shit.

    You should be fine washing both with a hose. The TRX4 is water proof, and while the SCX10 is "water resistant" I have submarined one numerous times for extended periods of time while flooring it on 3s (against my better judgement) and have yet to have any issues. I do always blast them off with the air compressor though and it will get 99% of the mud chunks, sand, or water off of the trucks. You'll want a big tank though, you go through a lot of air cleaning 1/10 trucks.

    Needed to regale one of the MERV wheels so put on the original C2X set… so much more grip, such easier wheelies, motor running so hot, lol

    Paint prep for my daughter’s first “go-go,” as she calls is. She just turned 2 so trying to get and keep her as interested in this stuff as I was at that age

    The most impressive part is you remember being 2 let alone being interested in anything :rofl:

    Just a small difference in diameter lol.

    What're you using for glue? I also need to redo mine for the 3rd time, Proline glue not holding up well.

    Just spray Gorilla glue which has been extremely easy to use and has worked pretty well

    The big tires were fun but my daughter had the controls for 30 seconds yesterday and it grenaded a driveshaft. Don't doubt it was the fault of my own doing but I let her jump it off like a 3' ledge and now it's FWD. Need to find a replacement set and get it ordered, anyone have MERV driveshaft recommendations?

    Interesting, I'll look into that.

    For the MERV, how tight is the slipper? And I'm assuming rear d/s not one of the axles? That's impressive, never blown one of those out when stock, though I do have the traxxas steel ones currently. Either traxxas or MIP would be my vote.

    Nope, axle indeed-- 7151 p/n. I Blew it out before but was able to just pop it back in. Now it's gone into the abyss of my yard.

    Well if it's axles and you're running rpm arms, don't do the traxxas steel axles. Mine pop out so often I went back to using summit shafts. This is on full size erevo though, and 6S.

    Work? No way! That's a thing you youngsters have to deal with! Nope, I'm just a retired old man with too many hobbies. :D
