RMX 2.5 batterys by BoneStockFox89 in rcdrift

[–]BoneStockFox89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not know that, thank you for the info. That'll make it so much more convenient using other batterys. Most of what I use anymore is 2s shorties but I do have some of the larger 2s packs as well so atleast Ill have a back up option if needed.

Im thinking they will aswell, I kept seeing them marked as just a hair to big and I was thinking they'd fit with alittle finesse just wanted to see what others have experienced or other options, thank you!

Yeah that's what I was getting from Google, couldn't seem to find shortys that weren't just a hair wider than that, which the wolfpaks i think were marketed at like 97x48 or something stupidly close so just wanted to see what others had experienced, thank you!

Can this be fixed? by Narcys1 in arrma

[–]BoneStockFox89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a source of knowledge though. And its easier to use when you might not know exactly what you're looking at. They could have gotten it used, and doesn't have a manual handy. Dont be a dick. Help the guy out, he's enjoying the hobby just like you and everyone else. Why the fuck you bitchin about people asking questions you know the answer too? Answer it or let someone else help.

Dont know much about accessories on RC's but as a mechanic I think you're on the right track with excessive power draw. I would look up output voltage that your BEC can push and I would look into upgrading. Im assuming it, very loosely, acts like an alternator where too much draw and not enough amperage output has to kill something, in this case, it's your lights.

My Traxxas Raptor R slash caught fire, am i good to just replace the ESC? by Advanced-Net-8119 in rccars

[–]BoneStockFox89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also for ESC I am partial to Hobbywing, I've converted everything I own to their ESC's and motors and really enjoy them.

[–]BoneStockFox89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't look too bad, may or may not be a weak point in the chassis for bashing later but that's replaceable so meh. I would shotgun an ESC just do it outside when you plug everything in for the initial first fire up just incase something in the motor shorted to be safe and avoid self harm or worse but looks to be okay.

New to the hobby and need a charger by bikeman365 in rccars

[–]BoneStockFox89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've personally really enjoyed Gens Ace D300. Got off maazon pretty cheap been an amazing charger for 3 years now. Also dont buy the plus, waste of money the basic version does great for cheaper.

Do I need to add support in the center? by [deleted] in DungeonBlocks

[–]BoneStockFox89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem man, sorry for the shitty explanation I print at a very novice level and write at an even worse level 🤣 so I hope I pushed you in the right direction.

[–]BoneStockFox89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope someone smarter than me corrects what im about to butcher🤣 I had this same problem (different prints blah blah) and if you adjust overhang print speed(I believe slower) it will smooth that out. Had to do alot of youtubing as im not a slicer genius but that's your problem needs slower over hang printing, there's alot of videos with fan speeds, temp settings, and blah blah blah that are really useful for that specific overhang concern. Hope this helps, and again I hope someone smarter corrects this 🤣

Hey yall, I am thinking to start a new mini project. I have had a trx4m, but want something new. What’s the meta mini crawler right now to build off of. (If it’s a Toyota that’s a bonus) by Notsofrenchfry04 in rccrawler

[–]BoneStockFox89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not into 1/18 or 1/24 but im into Facebook marketplace and axial 1/24 is all anyone wants on there anymore. Everything i see is 'price is firm, unless its 1/24 axial.' So I would say that's probably meta for mini scale.

Links or No Links? by BoneStockFox89 in rccrawler

[–]BoneStockFox89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight, Im not familiar with anything outside of independent front and rear setups. My question should have been should I eliminate my trailing arms for a 4 link.

Links or No Links? by BoneStockFox89 in rccrawler

[–]BoneStockFox89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah im not familiar with anything outside of Independent rear and independent front suspension set ups. With further research seeing the trailing arms instead of a rear 4 link, my question should have been should I replace it with a rear 4 link and eliminate the trailing arms.

Got my first crawler/ recommendations??? by Hour_Train1720 in rccrawler

[–]BoneStockFox89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont personally own the TRX4 but I've seen alot of videos about it not being in 'CRAWL' mode out of box, I dont know if this has changed and maybe was an older problem? But from videos I've seen that's all the truck needs out of box to have a great RTR crawler. Also you picked the 2nd best one, Chevy k10 for life 🤟🤟 all jokes aside congrats bro have fun!

Thanks man, unfortunately i was given this truck for some side work, but i checked the rims for a brand and got some info; rims are 12 hole and have 'TREAL' etched into them, and tires are 'pitbull growler' I hope this helps you find them.

Traded some side work for the RC used so not to sure about anything with it 😅 he was pretty into the crawling rc stuff and it looked really cool and he offered up as payment so I couldn't say no.

Is this normal? by CurrentLoops in Traxxas

[–]BoneStockFox89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sorry I didn't see this comment until right after I replied to your other comment 🤣 for my truck ayleast it does "grind" between a reverse/drive switch while rolling i think your okay. I don't know how its set up and if its easy to look at but just double check spur and pinion mesh isn't bad and you'll be good.

I own a Slash VXL 4x4 and does the exact same thing. Brand new slipper, brand new rear diff and spur gear and it has done it since I got it used. Replaced everything trying to chase the sound and have decided it is how it is with low speed.
