    thanks guys! I understand.. and that might have been what it was. it might have kicked in and its set too low.

    the batteries are 35C.

    ill see what the esc is set to stock, tonight and go from there.

    From what I understand Traxxas ESC has a LVC setting at 3.7v so overdischarging it shouldn't be an issue as long as the LVC mode is turned on.

    The batteries started to charge after awhile. Took maybe 1 hour to complete one battery.

    if you ever over discharge one, try putting it on your charger at the lowest amp rate and see if it will take a charge. could bring it back to life.

    Hey guys, I have a honcho and have a quick question. Has anyone put a sound system into their car? It's too quiet when I'm driving around!

    Broke a rear knuckle.. A steering servo arm.. And blew out a shock. Picked up RPM knuckles and a traxxas rebuild for the servo arms at my local shop.. Started tearing it down.. And realized it just pulled the threaded shock shaft out of the mount. Threaded it back on the mount, got the mount back on, got the coil on.. Then realized I was missing the top collar..

    Headed back to the park with a flashlight.. And sure enough..

    Nice it's almost fixed. I got all the batteries charged and ready to go. I might head to the park and see if I can find another spot to play in.

    So from what I've been finding.. 5 x 11mm bearings are what I need for the carriers. My local shop should have the Traxxas bearings.. those will work with the RPM carriers right?

    Would I be considered an addict if I put my beadlocks together on my lunch break? 'Cause that's totally what I did.
