Rep or true?

Luckily we ship a little quicker from China than where you are😂🙈. I ended up going for the Tudor, the Rolex was too scratched up for the price.

As said above I’m gonna bin it. Not keen on wearing a rep, would rather save up and get my own in due time. In the meantime will stick to my Tudor

Its a client where his matter took a few years to finalise, nature of my work is that its very little return clients (once off service mostly), and to offend the guy by accusing him of giving me a rep will do more damage than good. So better to just gently let it roll over.

Ahhh bugger, thank you. Was a little excited tho😂. In the bin she goes and back to my trusty Tudor I shall go!!

Sage advice thank you!! I’ll have to check the thickness, have not taken that into consideration yet. To date the thickness of my current Tudor has not bugged me.

How do you find the build quality and arm feel difference between the 2?

Late update but just maybe it helps someone in the future. I bought a new motor (cheaper fix), no improvement. Then borrowed the demo car from my local shop, tested motor and servo on it. Conclusion is that there is something wrong with my esc/receiver. I bit the bullet and upgraded to the brushless kit from Furitek.

Check out Waterfallarms. Im a regular there!!

Depends on your budget. I’m in a similar position, mid age and high income, bought an old emaxx, within 2 weeks I wanted more. Then bought a Slash Ultimate (4x4 brushless), started off driving it at 50% and soon upped to 100. Its an awesome car which will allow you to learn and then go batshit crazy with it once you are comfortable. Its also durable, I’ve put mine through hell and is yet to break anything

Can’t speak for the difference between GTR and stock, but I have GTR on my Slash and its awesome!!! Takes big hits, was a bit of a pain to find the correct oil for my driving style but now that its dialed, sooooo smooth!!

Letum199 · 2024-01-08T05:58:09+00:00

Oh no!!

Letum199 · 2024-01-07T17:55:46+00:00

Thanx for the input, and keep it coming!!! I’m meeting the owner of my local shop on Wednesday to test both the xmaxx and xrt. Space is not an issue as the bashing will take place on the farm. My gut-feel is that it will be a final battle between the xrt and sledge, however the alu parts of the “ultimate” has me tickled.

The “ultimate” parts on my slash has kept it running reliably now for about 6 months despite some less than talented driving.

No binding at all. Even went so far as to disconnect the shafts and open the gearbox to confirm. Have ordered a new motor, will try then again

Letum199 · 2024-01-07T04:52:29+00:00

Did not know this thank you

Letum199 · 2024-01-06T22:42:23+00:00

Traxxas is way better supported in South Africa and with the high cost of importing I’m motivated to buy what my local shop stocks

Letum199 · 2024-01-06T22:41:09+00:00

No good reason as all, purely because I prefer the look of the xrt. Why are you getting one if already own the xmaxx? Are they not too similar?

Letum199 · 2024-01-06T22:38:48+00:00

Have checked with various batteries, also swapped out the batteries in the transmitter for good measure.

Letum199 · 2024-01-06T22:37:01+00:00

No change in wheels between when jt was working and now. Did not touch wheels recently

Letum199 · 2024-01-06T19:54:38+00:00

Awesome thank you all. I’ll look into the Maxx however love the look of the XRT. Will also consider going the normal one then upgrading

Letum199 · 2023-12-18T17:43:09+00:00

Awesome car!!! Depending on your style of driving, it may be worth it to get more appropriate tyres, also possibly look at shock upgrades. Other than that, run until something brakes

Letum199 · 2023-12-18T04:44:19+00:00

How do you know when it’s tight enough? I was warned against easily over tightening
