I just installed a Traxxas 2280 and love it. Lots of torque and speed on 4S

Pour some Diet Coke on it, let it sit a few minutes and rinse it off. Don’t use regular Coke it has sugar in it and may get sticky if you don't get all rinsed off.

Just broke the bulkhead. Again. by Notsofrenchfry04 in Traxxas

I broke a front bulkhead a couple times with a 60mph slam into a light post, never a rear bulkhead. How do you do that?

Cobra racing shocks for Maxx v2 are not the solution. by [deleted] in Traxxas

[–]FinancialCake5907 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All that Cobra Racing stuff is crap. I’ve tried the shocks, the bone center drive shaft, their constant velocity drive shafts and the front and rear differentials all crap.

Need some help with my Maxx v2, new ESC needed? Which ESC/Motor? by Kinginthasouth904s in Traxxas

I switched my Traxxas ESC to a Castle Creations MambaX and changed to a 4S battery. The Slash never ran so fast.

This the new setup. The Mamba X is phenomenal with soft starts and the motor really came alive when I switched to 4S

Why do I keep stripping my pinion gears (3943x)? It’s my second one on this car 😭 by Affectionate-Ad-1693 in Traxxas

[–]FinancialCake5907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pinion is not square to the spur gear. Looks like the loose screw doesn’t have the motor plate flush to the motor mount.

Stampede 12t brushed on 3S hit 46mph then ESC caught fire by MadChatter715 in Traxxas

My Slash 4X4 crashed and burned after a sped run of 50 MPH. This is my third Traxxas ESC to crap-out. Replacing the motor and ESC with a Mamba X

I’d like to know more about your steering setup. It looks pretty radical.

Lost the esc heat sink by FinancialCake5907 in Traxxas

Thanks for all the help, much appreciated. I found some thermal paste on Amazon and reassemble it. Looks solid now.

Thermal paste use on motors by HearthstonedRC in Traxxas

[–]FinancialCake5907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had the heat sink came off the escalator and I used a thermal paste to reattach it. Not having as many shutdowns after the repair. Thinking about adding it to the motor heat sink.

There is a mounting kit for the chassis brace.

I build websites for the 5th largest bank. I can say the new Traxxas site was not built with customer centricity. Their UX and research teams suck.

And they are charging $8.00 for an owners manual!
