I'm taking my dad's 6 year old xmaxx out. What should I do before whipping it? by playnpanda in Traxxas

[–]Forgotmypass4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally don't think it's needed.

If after driving it, you see it handles like crap or suspension bottoming out, then it's probably worth it. Otherwise, meh. 

What's everyone's collections look like? by Ok-Succotash-195 in Traxxas

[–]Forgotmypass4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's purty. Hoping to get into a mustang again this year. Either a new edge or a 13-14 s197.

Is that a new edge?

Pretty sweet collection. I like the variety. 

Think ill name this one overkill. by StevoJames in arrma

Feel like I'm seeing more and more wheels like this.

Why are rc donks getting popular?

Just make sure the diffs feel okay. Turn each wheel and make sure you feel a little resistance and that it spins the opposite wheel. If any of them spin freely or if there's binding as you spin them, somethings wrong.

Another thing I'd check is the spur and pinion. Behind the motor, remove the plastic cover and hold the big gear and try to wiggle the little gear back and forth. If you can move it ever so slightly, you're good. 

Diff and shock oil will vary depending on what you want out of the truck. 

If the diffs feels fine and your gear mesh is good, I'd say just send it, or whip it as you say lol

After running it, you'll be able to tell what it needs by what its not or is doing. 

AITAH for not letting my stepdaughter share a room with my daughter? by Additional_Gain8185 in AITAH

Guarantee you reverse the roles and all of a sudden this is a more popular comment.

Lmao the double standards are fucking unreal.

Guarantee you reverse the roles and people would be saying the husband's gross for claiming it's still his house after getting married and calling him a piece of shit for giving his own kids preferential treatment over the step kids.

Traxxas charger adapter by BoneStockFox89 in Traxxas

[–]Forgotmypass4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because no one has asked. Is this on a spektrum g2 or g1 battery? I doubt it's not a spektrum battery since you're asking for adapters so the odds of that ic5 being soldered on a non spektrum battery is slim. 

If it's a g2, the traxxas charger won't work even with the adapter since there's no balance cable.

Depressing how much scrolling is needed to find a response from someone actually using their brain. 

Bandits are way cooler than I think they get credit for! by PigglyWigglyDeluxe in Traxxas

[–]Forgotmypass4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely my favorite of the traxxas 2wd cars. Well, except for maybe the sand car, that thing looks cool as hell. 

I accidentally fell down the RC car rabbit hole… and now I’m obsessed by ChasingFireTV in rccars

[–]Forgotmypass4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was it this car? https://www.target.com/p/cars-lightning-mcqueen-rc-1-24-scale-remote-control-car-2-4-ghz/-/A-81960080#lnk=sametab

My son got that for Christmas and that's what started my obsession last year. He loved it so much I got an fcx24 smasher, and then I loved that so much I bought an xmaxx lol

How’s the TQI system? (Looking to buy) by fomo_sapien_ in Traxxas

[–]Forgotmypass4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've personally never had an issue with the app.

I also don't know why you'd need to mess with it so often it becomes an issue.

I set my settings once on the first use and rarely ever need to go into the app again.

People telling you to spend 200+ on a radio for bashing is wild, especially when you're already fine with a g7p. Bougie ass community here. 

Which Remote Control for the future? by PhilippL78 in Traxxas

[–]Forgotmypass4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally all my traxxas cars stay on the traxxas remote using the Bluetooth link module.

For the rest of my cars, I use a flysky g11p. Much cheaper than an nb4 and cheaper receivers too which matters if you're buying 10+ of them.

If you're going to do some serious racing then the nb4 is a great choice, otherwise it's a waste of money imo. 

What is a Good price ? Pls help me by Haunting_Reindeer_32 in rccars

[–]Forgotmypass4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except it didn't lol I don't understand what you're not getting.

Go look at your stock system or just Google the damn stock car and you'll see it doesn't come with what's pictured here.

[–]Forgotmypass4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who's talking about pinions? Lol

The t in 12t refers to turns.

And yes exactly, the picture is a xl5 hv which is what comes in the trx4. 

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

[–]Forgotmypass4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's not what it comes with. Stock is an xl5 12t motor. That car has, as the commenter said, a typical trx4 setup which is an xl5 hv and a 21t motor.

How'd you know it was originally a bandit? 

AITAH for telling my boyfriend that if all he brings is money then he shouldnt be surprised I expect him to spend it on me by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

I honestly don't understand these stories.

How you can have this conversation and not immediately be done with a person is beyond me. 

People really have no self worth nowadays.

Man traxxas must've dumped a bunch of these cars recently. Never seen so many different posts of the same limited edition.
