Anyone into R/C?

Wraith axles. Yeah I put the big bore shocks on and the stock tires make it look like a 6 inch lift with 30 inch tires.

Looks gay. I dont even want to take a picture of it; because it looks to goofy.

 

Just started going to a SC track with my slash and man I thought it was easy.
It's hard but so much fun.

 

Hobbypartz.com apparently finally has those new lipos in stock 5800mah 45C and 5000mah 65C

 

better order em quick before they sell out lol

 

Holy crap!! Most are all ready out of stock

 

They've all been out of stock for freaking ever.

 

they're pretty horrible about restocking their items

 

People are claiming these "rare earth elements" lithium etc are scarce. That's why they aren't in stock... Other brands aren't out of stock, though.

I'm probably gonna order the 5800mah and try the 5900mah from valuehobby.com. I only have 2 4000mah lipos... needs moar!

 

So I went out to run my slash this morning and something broke, help.

It seems like it runs fine when I have the wheels spinning free, but as some as I put it on the ground it does not move.

The motor runs fine also the tranny moves, but it seems like the axles don't. I believe it my be the slipper clutch but not sure

Any ideas before I open it up?!?!


Thanks

 

I say the slipper cutch because it turns fine when the wheels are off the ground, but as soon I put it on the ground the spring and nut stop moving

 

Sounds like the slipper has loosened up on it. Tighten it and see for sure.

 

It looks like a lot of work. Seems like I have to pull the motor, tranny, Axle cover and couple of things. Then I have to get my big old hands in the small little area.








Looks like a lot of work

 

Random poser shots.

Enjoy

 

Its not that much, i pulled mine completely apart yesterday and re filled my front and rear diff, checked all my gears. I would guess the slipper clutch also, on mine i can tighten it without taking anything apart, i assume yours is the same way?

 

After looking more closely
I think so with the exception of the cover on the drive shaft.

 

Again not really familiar with those type models, but on my models, it takes longer to get the 1/4 driver out of the tool box than to adjust the slipper.

 

Just looked at mine again, you will need to pop off the rear section, which is just 4 easy accessable bolts.

 

Eating. I will check in a bit

 

Well I just dumped another $250 for the protrac kit, beadloc's, trenchers, mip cvd kit for the front, mip axles for the front, and proline powerstrokes for the front. This will get me back running, ill upgrade the rear the same way when i break something (which wont be long im guessing).

 

Yupp... I've seen a lot of trucks absolutely covered with Monster Energy stuff. A lot of people like to put bro'd out tundra bodies on their rock crawlers.
