Mind-blowing moment!

Post by SoCalSnakeEyes » Sun May 16, 2021 3:17 am

I just realized that I may have the very first XXT I ever drove and the chassis for the first one I owned. See when SoCal Raceway closed I helped them clean it out the next day. Part of the things I took home was a first gen XXT. One day when the track was in Garden Grove, I put my Stampede in the Novice A-Main. All be it last. Well, the track forced me to run the rental truck in the main. A first gen XXT. I got to second place before it broke. With that run, they set up a box to take donations for my own XXT. I later converted it to "cr" but kept the chassis. I sold that truck, different sad story. I'm still trying to find that truck. It had my name in pick in the chassis by the servo. Last seen hanging in Jax Hobbies in FV. So, if I'm right, yeah that's two very interesting pieces of my RC history I still have. Wow. Mind-blowing moment! Had to share.

You may know me as Jessica. Or, that girl that raced a Stampede at SoCal Raceway. Maybe, that girl with the big big block El Camino.

Hello everyone,

Looking for some ideas. I keep blowing my diff gear in my 2.25 stealth. I've tried rebuilding it to spec three times, using the correct diff lube on the diff balls, and the associated black grease on the diff shaft balls that sit...

Last post

I have had the diff come slightly off center in the gear... that's a good indication things are about to go bad.

Bought a small lot of futaba electronics lot off ebay. I was hoping that the esc would be the one thing to work but it does not. Every time the switch is turned on the led will come on and simultaneously the fuse will blow. Any ideas why? Took case...

Possible one of the fet's shorted? What the heatsink are on, use a multimeter to ohm out each device, may have to remove to test, if good sometimes the low voltage from the meter will turn on the fet's. Fets from others non working ESC may be...

This is more of a confession. It's something that has haunted me for a long time and I'm ashamed of it. I wish I could take it back but I can't. May as well use the experience as a lesson learned.

I was the poor sport as a kid but I was the worst...

A moment of silence for a guy you've probably never heard of. I know I hadn't before seeing the obit.

I thought I had a thread on this, maybe not. I'm constantly breaking the rear a-arm mounts that the hinge pin goes through, and they always break at the same place, where the bolt hole is. Seems I go though one per outing. I bought 3 sets of...

Last post

The hinge blocks are stock parts, no peroxide treatment. I've blown new ones, and old ones.

I actually did puick up a set of vintage nerf bars in with some vintage bumpers I bought. I may try those.

I think it's just the leverage of the long RC10T...

Well, if it is for a shelfer don't bother puting oil in the shocks. Waste of resources, and one more thing to worry about (leakage). -Jeff
Yup. On my shelfers I just coat the shaft and O rings in green slime and call it good.
