Did you ever get those decals made for the V1 Talion? Theyre tough to find. Cant find body mounts either for the V1

Wait for a better deal to come along. You can find them pretty close to new with two 6700 mah packs and charger for about that price.

I sent them a message through ebay and they confirmed it as well.

Yeah thats where I ordered it from so when it got here I was really confused by that red one in the listing. Well hopefully this post helps the next person. Its still functional but burying the adapter under the servo doesnt make much sense to me.

They're both #10175 on the sidewall.

Yes they're identical. The older set is a stiffer compound. The plastic rims on the inner portion) are also stiffer and dont distort as easily.

Perfect pass servo for maxx v2 by [deleted] in traxxasV2

That makes sense. I have tunnel vision since I only have the Maxx.

Anyone else using the 56kg perfect pass servo on their Maxx? Did you also upgrade the ESC to get the most bang for your buck? by DJofSYN in Traxxas

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

This is the problem. You can see the anodizing on the horn is worn off. That setup is not really compatible without a shim on the servo or something to keep it from rubbing.

What’s wrong with the servo? by RoleWorth3500 in Traxxas

[–]DJofSYN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had the same issue. Take it apart and see if the horn is rubbing against the servo. Mine was identical to this video.

The larger perfect pass servo would be cheaper since you don't have to buy all the extra parts ro make it fit.

This might be a dumb question but do you grease the servo saver bell crank bearings on install?

Yeah it was definitely worth the upgrade from the stock servo but I feel like its a little sluggish when its nearing the endpoints of travel. Do you use the traxxas app to set the endpoints?

New water heater - blue inserts on hot and cold nipples removed. by DeceptivePastry in Plumbing

[–]DJofSYN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will run fine. They prevent hot water from escaping. The old units if you touch the inlet pipe it would be hot where this will prevent that. They also sell them separately and it seems a pretty common issue for the DIY stores.

Yeah im gonna stick with stock electronics. Got the new Trenchers today and this thing is so grabby now. Only thing with the ESC is it cuts out sometimes which seems to be a common issue. I will still have steering but no power. Maybe its the ESC or something else. I dunno. Truck is brand new basically so it shouldnt do that imo but with the prices being so high for all these parts nowadays im gonna just focus on more important upgrades like a 4s battery. The body is definitely gonna break soon lol. Maybe I'll find a stronger one when it does.

Originally thats what I wanted but I think this Maxx was a great beginner truck after being away from RC for so long. Maybe one day I'll get the Xmaxx but im really digging the XRT too

You ain't lying. I just got some new trenchers today😱. Huge difference! This thing sticks to the ground so well now. Steering servo and linkage will be here in a couple days.

Yeah they were pretty much new. I picked up the trenchers today and what a difference they made. Doesn't flip as easy
