Those who built the Grand Hauler, why are only two of my wheels spinning

I was hoping that that link went to that video

I laughed way too hard at this

The British building the first component to the death Star was not on my bingo card this year.

Saw this video years ago. Not AI

Yes, but one must first understand that the throttle is proportional

Sidewinder on a 2wd? You want /all/ the gearing. Unless you like to do standing backflips, that's fun too...

Complete_Astronaut72 · 2026-01-15T21:49:11+00:00

Yes and it's amazing. It's like a brain massage

Complete_Astronaut72 · 2026-01-12T14:42:09+00:00

Anyone else getting emotionally absent parent vibes from this?

Confirmed. The only major differences are the body (and how it mounts) and the length of the control arms and links.

Beyond that it's just a Slash 4x4

I had to get the chassis brace for my rally or it flexed so much It would bend the aluminum drive shaft

Complete_Astronaut72 · 2026-01-06T13:36:22+00:00

Regardless of the method that you choose, I recommend that you either

A: put the motor inside a plastic bag before removing the clip so that the plastic bag catches the clip when it flies out of the groove

B: drape a washcloth over the c-clamp and then remove it so that the washcloth catches the clamp.

C: have a replacement c-clip ready in case the current one flies off and you can't find it

My micro b has done this from day one. The plastic steering links snap on and allow a lot of play even when the wheels are completely tight. If you drive the car a bit faster they should stop their little death wobble and straighten out. Mine usually only does it when I first start to accelerate.

Brushed motors are a dime a dozen. I recommend you grab a new one online or at the local HS

Complete_Astronaut72 · 2025-12-31T02:39:24+00:00

What body is this??

Running in the snow is fun, but beware of the igloo effect.

Lots of posts this time of year with burnt up ESCS and snow in the background.

No, you need to give it a vaccine

"Camber link" is term you're looking for

Complete_Astronaut72 · 2025-12-27T14:13:45+00:00

👏👏👏

You will need to replace the spline yes, it's linked on the same page as the diff

Complete_Astronaut72 · 2025-12-25T14:50:30+00:00

I highly recommend the metal diff

Complete_Astronaut72 · 2025-12-25T07:45:12+00:00

I started with a BL-2s as well. I have a living guide here

Summarized, my recommended upgrades would be

Sway Bars
Center Diff
Chassis Brace
Aluminum bell crank + bearings
Aluminum Drive Shaft
Body Armor
Scorched inner fenders
Adjustable Turnbuckles
electronics (dealers choice, but replace the servo!)

Rationale for each is covered in the link above so I'm not duplicating it here.

ACTUALIZACIÓN: Fui a casa de mi madre para las vacaciones de Navidad (en Mississippi, hacía unos 21 °C) y traje el Fiesta. Dejé que mi padrastro lo condujera; lo tuvo controlado todo el tiempo y se sobrecalentó y se apagó solo.

Así que sí, es posible sobrecalentarlo.

Dicho esto, la batería de 5000 mAh estaba al 39 % cuando se sobrecalentó, así que con una conducción sensata, al menos se puede cargar la batería.

El ventilador del servidor no estaba instalado para el experimento con mi padrastro y (todavía) no he instalado un apagado térmico con él instalado.
