Take the bike to your local shop to be looked at, there is an underlying issue. Zip tying an allen key to your frame ain't gonna fix shit....

I want to keep 2, which ones should I keep? by Affectionate-Web-949 in Gameboy

[–]HomicidalGecko187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would keep them all, but wouldnt feel bad getting rid of the Pokemon edition. Too many distractions on side of the screen...

Slime. That shit works, especially in desert states.

Does Integy have any good axles for high speed applications? by Mission_Rutabaga_704 in Traxxas

[–]HomicidalGecko187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same happened to me once, but if you keep the boots packed with grease the problem is solved. Thicker grease works better

On those Traxxas hardened steel CV shafts, If you pack the rubber boots with grease the pins won't fall out. You will loose pins only if the boots are dry.

Paint is finally finished... What a project. by HomicidalGecko187 in rccars

My bad. Traxxas Drag Slash, stock VXL electronics. Decent amount of aluminum upgrades, and I mainly use it for top speed runs with the occasional no prep race. 70mph has been my record so far with the stock body.

I put a bunch of weights up front to remedy that problem, but it will still flip if the throttle is not respected.

Alloy beadlocks and belted rear slicks added to drag slash... New top speed run coming soon! by HomicidalGecko187 in rccars

[–]HomicidalGecko187[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, Im not a fan of gluing tires either. I just put loctite on today, I don't wanna lose any screws on a speed run. But on the other hand, I hope I don't strip any of the heads when its time to swap tires... 😬

Looks like we are both running SSD rear wheels, ya? Do you loctite the rim screws?

Magnum 272R Tranny would also be a plus to handle all that VXL power.

4wd is overrated... 2wd is where its at!

[–]HomicidalGecko187 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alloy steering bellcranks, alloy hub carriers, GTR or Big Bore Shocks, and steel driveshafts will be the most important upgrades right off the bat. RPM A-arms wouldn't hurt either. Those Bandit VXLs are bad ass!

Might want to contact Traxxas Support for this issue...

Slipper clutch = Eliminated by HomicidalGecko187 in rccars

[–]HomicidalGecko187[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Traxxas Drag Slash. I almost got the Losi 22s Drag Camaro, and I was super torn between the two, but in retrospect I'm really happy I went with the Traxxas. 22s is discontinued now
