I adjusted the screw in the diff the other day. When i drove the car today, it off and on would slip so bad the car wouldn't move. I tightened it all the way and the car drove ok for a free min but then it started slipping again. I kept fooling with it and sometimes even when the set screw was as t...

I put a Turnigy 2C 4200mAh shorty lipo in the Raider today after a little encouragement from my Dremel. Wow, what a difference from a 25 year old NiCd! It was actually pretty quick (as was the Ultima with same battery when the diff was working). It could easily break the a back end out and snap over...

Can anyone tell?

Great job!

I like it! That being said, I think that is more than I could handle! Thanks for sharing!

Wow! What did you do to the drivetrain to allow it to take so much power?

What is the length of the dog bone you are using? The OT-006 length is 63mm pin to pin. The stock length on the raider is 64mm pin to pin. That would make sense if you think it is shorter. Not to nitpick but the Optima 'bones are exactly 62.5mm pin-to-pin. :) So they're a full 1.5mm shorter than th...

The Traxxas Velineon system is powerful! I don't know if they under-rate the motor at 3500kV or what, but it runs very strong. The Velineon motor is also large, almost 550-size. This likely gives it more torque, allowing it to pull a taller gear ratio, etc. So yes, the test illustrates differences ...

Well, I put the dogbones from the Ultima in the raider. They "fit" but seem a touch too small. They make more metalic noise and i am afraid over time may cause wear issues..... I guess I really have no other potential options unless I spent big money on the upgraded raider universals. Edit...

Thanks for all the help guys.

I saw that on the KYOSHO WEBSITE but it says it is out of stock. http://www.kyoshoamerica.com/DIS--Swing-shaftOT6_p_6688.html

Wonder if they will ever have them again.

Wow,interesting. So these should fit? http://www.amazon.com/XTM-Dogbones-Rear-Blade-Outlaw/dp/B001ERFF8U

So my turbo raider had been running better than I thought possible on 25 year old NICDs. It was going a good 15 plus mph or more and i was having a blast reminiscing. The car was running better than I remember it as a kid (I did just tune the shocks and did an alignment with my better understanding ...
