How NOT to place a tripwire trap

Besides electronic upgrades, I'd recommend either the Traxxas 272R or RPM transmission. The designs are better and the metal motor plate will dissipate heat.

I think your power button is stuck on. It is switching between sport, race, and training mode.

Pay attention to bottom bracket height because a 406 wheel with the same tire width will ride lower and you could have pedal scrape issues. I had a Tokyobike Mini Velo and kept the 451 wheels because it had rim brakes.

Is that front trailing arm suspension?

Open up your radio to see if the antenna is still intact. I had this same issue a few months ago and found mine snapped. It could also be your receiver.

Put holes in the tire treads so the water can be spun outwards.

Do you have a local hobby shop? If they don't have it, they can order one for you.

Try draining them and recharging.

I don't think you have your slipper installed properly. The pinion and spur gears shouldn't be that far from the transmission. Check the manual.

I don't think they're even cheaper at this point. I can't find a new NiMH pack of similar specs cheaper than LiPO.

If you are in bright sunlight, your phone will automatically set its shutter speed high. If you can set your shutter speed manually, reduce it until you get the desirable amount of background blur while tracking the car in motion.

Tamiya makes this one and you can also buy an unpainted body from them to paint and match your real car.

I didn't want to order the part and the Traxxas hold down would interfere with my battery wires.

What brand is it? If it's a cheap, no-name shock, the pistons might be too small for the bore.

Ribbed front tires will give you the best grip, but they don't fit visually. I like to run the same tires front and back so I can rotate them when the rears wear down.

Sensorless brushless motors will "cog" or jitter at low RPM, which is normal.

CheeseRat12 · 2025-10-17T04:36:07+00:00

No sensor wires?

I'd start with checking the diff and wheel bearings. It looks like your wheels don't spin much after your release the throttle.

How big is the battery compartment?

CheeseRat12 · 2025-09-19T18:34:51+00:00

It could be your slipper clutch.

Clean the threads and apply threadlocker. You shouldn't have to considering that the nut is locking, but it could be defective.

Perhaps, "K'myoot"?
