So, I picked up a couple new batteries for my 2006-ish E-Maxx and it would not run. It hasn't been run since about 2014 or so. I didnt remember any crazy breakage the last time it was run...but who knows?
Now it flat out will not move on it's own....

Sounds like we have nearly identical Emaxx trucks. I think the Novak system is a great option for this truck, though I do still have concerns for the life expectancy of the gearbox and differential internals. I still run the stock plastic axles and...
I've thought about doing a fun basher monster truck in the style of the old kyosho nitro USA-1, where I use a 1/8 buggy platform as a base for a monster truck.
I didn't want it to look like some of the more modern monster truck bashers which use...

Hey BC good to see you are here on this site as well. Tires have a good look on there. With those big bore shocks I'll bet that is gonna handle pretty well.
All,
I've come across a B4.1 roller with servo for a good price. I've been playing around with a Traxxas Bandit and have been having fun with it but I'm considering selling it to build up the B4.1. Would the B4.1 be as good a basher as the Bandit?...
Last post
I agree, the B4 is a great car and if parts were readily available I'd say sure....but given parts are so rare at this point I wouldn't bash with one too hard, better off running a car that has parts.
So i was offered a 'clubmans' team drive for TeamC through their UK distributer 'SMD' run by none other than Jamie Booth :D
At my local club (who race indoors on Astroturf) it is apparent that up & coming 'car of the moment' to own is the TM2,...

Dan yeah I saw your message. I can't believe how long that thing is. 292mm is the extreme ROAR limit. That's 11-1/2 . I've never seen a car that long that didn't have a full party of people in the back!
Finishing up this beast. Slightly rearranged slash 2wd with a modified version of our Factory Works chassis. The motor in the car currently is a no name 3.5t and is pretty weak. I’ll update once the Maclan drag pack motor arrives...

That makes sense, so it acts like a chassis stiffener to keep the front tires planted. I never would've thought of that. :lol:
I recently picked up one of these 1/18-scale RC crawlers for my daughter. I'm not sure if she'll be into RC so I wanted to start off with something inexpensive, mod it as much as I could, and see how it ends up. These crawlers are all over eBay and...

Picked up a DR10 and as many already know- the stock 3300kv system is weak sauce. I had a couple motors to play with but nothing crazy. Hottest was a 7.5t Track Star. I didn’t think it would be enough so I ordered a cheap 3.5t Surpass to play with...

I am not able to find the stock clutch 4 shoes. The engine is the .45 engine. Has anyone tried to use the 3 clutch shoes from the other MGT trucks? Now that my Losi is running great I would like to get the MGT 8 up and running also

Now I can not get the idle low enough to stop the wheels from spinning. It seems like it needs stiffer clutch springs. I can toss the truck and...

It did break right at the loop. I will try to flatten and make another loop. I reinstalled a spare stock set for now. It runs perfect. Now if only I could find a set of clutch shoes for my MGT 8.0 and all my trucks would be up and running. Thanks...
Was given a used t4 today.I am a buggy guy...but it's in such good shape..it's hard to not go over it and make it a runner.

Last post
The T4 chassis and parts have evolved over the long production run of the T4. The T4.1 and T4.2 might have provisions molded into the chassis to fit the receiver box whereas the original T4 does not, hence why they say it only fits the .1 and .2...

The wheels on your XXXcr must be different from stock Losi wheels because they should be smooth dished wheels. The Losi nuts are larger than Associated and other popular brands. If you can find the right wheels you shouldn't have a problem.

If it’s the new worlds car, you already have the top shaft to run the modern spurs. You can make an RC10 run with the B4s! Since you picked up the new car, I’d say pick up some factory works or similar towers to mount the big bore shocks!

This is where that thermometer will be important. As a general rule, gearing too low, will cause the esc to be hotter and gearing too high will cause the motor to be hotter. Also neither offers the best performance. I gear most of mine for max speed...

Front wheel wells are cut further forward because the camber link is so far forward. If you didn't cut them for clearance they would bind and hit the body as the suspension compresses. Mine are all cut too.
