    I mounted my go pro on last night and the first speed bump I hit today it flew off. I figured the 3m sticky tape for the go pro mounts would hold...guess not.



    Also...first carnageImageUploadedByTapatalk1362639362.416039.jpg snapped the a arm rod on the right side. New parts coming Friday. Tool kit and other parts coming tomorrow hopefully.
    Learning what parts are weak already ;)

    Had some boxes on my door when i got home. :D

    The rustler roller came with some extra wheels, also my amain order came with some mounted series 40 trenchers for my emaxx and the brushless kit for my 1/36 micro st. The litte motor is tiny, little less then an inch long and the diameter of a nickle, a shitty pic compared to a castle 3800kv.

    ^Not trying to steal your thunder but I'm also selling an R/C car.
    Traxxas Jato 2.5 nitro R/C with upgrades. 2 bodies, new 2.4ghz radio and receiver, new tires and wheels, new rear shocks, new anodized screws and some chassis parts, 3 extra glow plugs, glow igniter and wrenches, extra parts and old 27mhz radio and receiver. If I don't need to ship the car, I'll give you the gallon of fuel.

    I'm looking for parts to lift my truck... Leafs, shocks, whatever. Or maybe a set of sliders.

    Yeah.
    I let my stuff sit too long and one of my lipos was too low on voltage to charge. I hit it with a slow charge at 0.5A and it came back to life!

    That 05Tundra13 guy is running nitro, his battery is for servos only. 1000mAh is pretty small, I would think an 1800 would give you another hour or two, but I know squat about nitro.

    if i sell the tmaxx and xtm before the others then i'll just give the leftovers away, or throw them away.
