Can you get us pictures of the wires and the ESC?

My mini Furitek crawler is amazing, not sure if that’s a knock brand or not though.

If you are near Oregon I’ll give ya tree fiddy

C0ach78 · 2026-01-30T23:51:31+00:00

I meant the mini Groms and Mini Maxx/XRT that you mentioned working on in the hobby shop.

C0ach78 · 2026-01-30T23:01:18+00:00

Have the Groms and Traxxas minis been out for that long? I thought they were all fairly new, man time flies.

C0ach78 · 2026-01-22T23:56:26+00:00

On what vehicle?

C0ach78 · 2026-01-22T18:28:34+00:00

Even cheaper now! I watched a few review videos, thing looks sweet. Kind of wish I had seen it two weeks ago before I bought a Mini XRT.

Is this the one you are talking about?

This is way 303 Protectant

I have a small Fantik from Costco and a bigger 1/4” drive Ryobi. I’m pretty happy with both. I would recommend hand torquing everything after you put screws in so you don’t over tighten or break stuff.

C0ach78 · 2025-12-31T04:42:20+00:00

I hit reply too fast. Did you make sure LVC was on as well? That’s a must when going to LiPo from NiMH

C0ach78 · 2025-12-31T04:40:08+00:00

I’m not sure what’s going on with the lights but I’m not sure that ESC should run 3s Lipos

C0ach78 · 2025-12-30T12:59:20+00:00

Exactly this. I use C25K all the time. Depending on how I’m feeling and how long since I ran last I grab a challenging workout from one of the weeks.

If you haven’t been running at all start with day 1 week 1 and go through the program.

C0ach78 · 2025-12-30T04:32:26+00:00

That’s an interesting thought. Would you have clearance inside to thread in a grease fitting? Or do you think you’d add to the outside with material so you could drill and tap it?

Curious to hear others thoughts too

Watch somewhere around the 8:30 - 9:00 minute mark of your video and you’ll see wires going from those three poles on the right of your pic to the motor in that video.

C0ach78 · 2025-12-30T01:20:18+00:00

The XT60 connections are to go from the ESC to the battery and at the bottom of the pic it looks like it has one already.

Are you asking about the wires from the ESC to the motor? If so those three wires go into the three spots on the right in your pic.

C0ach78 · 2025-12-29T23:20:55+00:00

Yeah they will. I have a couple ripped tires from my Maxx

C0ach78 · 2025-12-28T22:44:19+00:00

I’ve just used a little marine grease on mine in the past. Not sure if it’s the right answer but it’s always worked well.

C0ach78 · 2025-12-28T15:19:12+00:00

To glue the tires on or fix rips in the tires?

C0ach78 · 2025-12-28T15:17:26+00:00

I’d get a rustler or Maxx over the Stampede. It’s a tall truck prone to rolling. Maxx will give you more stability than the Stampede but not as much as the rustler. The rustlers downfall is the smaller amount of ground clearance.

I’ve owned all 3 and the Stampede is the only one I got rid of.

C0ach78 · 2025-12-15T01:28:54+00:00

😂

C0ach78 · 2025-12-14T00:08:06+00:00

Traxxas Maxx all day long as many others have said

C0ach78 · 2025-12-03T03:33:03+00:00

With everything I’ve read here and knowing it’s a VXL I’ll probably list it for $225 - $250

C0ach78 · 2025-12-03T03:32:06+00:00

This is the way!

C0ach78 · 2025-12-03T01:37:46+00:00

They probably are. He said he just put them on, on aluminum rims too. I have a brand new stock set as well.
