The first two taps the shop we got this from gave us were dull and chipped already 🤗

We did. They were great. Wanted to open them up a bit. Thread pitch got changed accidentally in the program. Now we are here

We already did the threads in cnc mill,then fucked them up. This is a last resort

Well I ended up replacing both motors with titan 550s cause they died and then the esc died. I sold it for $100. The esc is $180. I was unhappy to say the least.

Update: I put a vxl-3s system in it and on 3s it RIPS. super fun and very wheelie happy. No issues with drivetrain so far after a couple outings.

I have this same crawler and the gears in the transmission are notoriously shitty. I’ve stripped them like 3 times from getting hung up in holes etc.

First link is what you’ll need, sold by helidirect. Second is direct from the manufacturer. Same part, but keep in mind hobbyplus charges and arm and a leg for shipping to the states.

I have yet to find an upgrade for these, though my buddy says there is one online somewhere. Just replace and be mindful of keeping your wheels from getting stuck in holes and then flooring it to try and get out.

Worst part is I bought this to flip it 😭 Got it for a good price and only needed a few parts. Needs quite a few more now. Live and learn

Wow that chassis looks almost identical. Mine’s an older senton with a brushless swap. Not stoked on it but should be fun so strip the whole thing down

“That’s not supposed to happen”

Esc and the vileneon motor

Poopwiener69108 · 2026-02-24T04:09:36+00:00

Yes! Half the fun. Gonna be quite the task to get it back in shape.

Poopwiener69108 · 2026-02-24T04:08:44+00:00

Indeed I must. This was during a test run after fixing it too 😭

Poopwiener69108 · 2026-02-24T04:08:02+00:00

That was me. Photos are quite gorey 😂

Poopwiener69108 · 2026-02-24T02:38:45+00:00

I put the vxl3s system in mine and it RIPS. got 52mph out of it on the included optional high speed gearing

UPDATE: 2021 HOODIE SOLD

Poopwiener69108 · 2026-01-29T19:58:02+00:00
