    Telemetry, is pretty cool, I have it on my DX3. But at first I wanted to keep looking down to see how fast I was running, causing me to crash. Temp. would be handy for checking motor/engine heat. I have since pulled both sending units off.

    Yeah. Can't wait!! One receiver is going in my wraith and it's getting 4WS and a dig. The other receiver is going in my dingo kit and it will get a winch and maybe a dig

    There's an indor track in baldwin park at tonys hobby but its really small.
    There's also a track called west coast rc raceway I'll look up some info.
    Lol I'll try to get some better videos of it. I'll post up a vid of it on the street later.

    Its usually for 1/8th scale 4wd buggies truggies and monster trucks. Its a bit overkill for my 2wd buggy haha.

    Yup!

    So I was running my slash today for about 20 mins and it started to not want to go or reverse when I pulled the trigger. I know it isn't a binding issue because I here a click for the speed control and after a couple of seconds of rest it will engage. Also the speed controls led is solid green which means it is functioning normally.
    It seems like it only really happens when I go for reverse to forward and forward to reverse.
    I know there is a delay when going because the break and so I don't mess it up but is waiting that long normal?!?!??

    Thanks in advance!!

    every electric RC i've ever driven has been screwy about going into reverse. I think they just overcompensate for the delay.
