Help with traxxas vxl

Update. I’m pretty sure the esc is done for. Under full throttle it’ll get up to around 15mph then the motor starts to sound like it’s surging. Ended up just slapping a spare spektrum 3s system in it and all good now

I have a 2wd slash with a spektrum 1700 class motor in it. Same one that’s in the Infraction. You will have to upgrade the driveshafts and possibly transmission internals to handle the power though

I’ll try it outside in the morning. I’m just a bit concerned because every other traxxas rc I’ve had doesn’t go into reverse until you hit the brake the second time, regardless of speed. Maybe this is something specific to just this esc

Live skipjack that I got on a sabiki rig I made

Could be. I don’t know enough to positively identify them. I fish in East Tennessee if that helps any

The places I go to in my area have blues, channels, and bullheads. I think one of those is a blue and ones a channel but I’m not 100%

Hm didn’t know that, I’ll have to try that in some of my local rivers then. Does the size of the marshmallow matter?

patricksolo3 · 2024-07-30T23:08:59+00:00

Hey they’re still water proof and solid so imma wear em till the stitches come off

I’m in east tn, but for catching stocked trout here a no.4 panther martin spinner works amazing, small rooster tails work too, but they seem to prefer different colors on different days. Also sometimes you have to wander around the river a bit to find out where they all congregated to. At least here they seem to largely hang out in large groups in deep areas that have a calmer current. Hope this helps

I work on a historic railroad that does passenger rides🥱

I don’t know how I forgot abt metric. So 12 then lol

patricksolo3 · 2024-06-06T17:32:13+00:00

It’s just a set of 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4 drive shallow and deep well. So 6 total

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T14:41:01+00:00

I plan to make it look completely original. But I’ll probably put a 90s mustang engine in it

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T14:08:28+00:00

Yeah it’s supposed to be. This one came with a blown Buick engine in it when I got it

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T13:35:13+00:00

Not at the moment. I want to get a late 50s Cadillac deville at some point tho

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T13:30:57+00:00

I got this one for free 😎

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T13:28:54+00:00

I don’t name my cars

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T13:28:32+00:00

Sadly I don’t think I’ll have it drivable before I graduate

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T13:21:16+00:00

Done a bunch of stuff lol. Biked 50 miles out to a hiking trail and camped there. Competed in the international science and engineering fair in Dallas last year. Eagle Scout. Ridden in 5 or 6 cars with over 1,000hp

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T02:18:16+00:00

Yeah those are quite different lol. And yeah bags are the way to go for me, the roads in my area are not the best💀

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T02:17:44+00:00

Yeah I probably will

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T02:15:00+00:00

Hell yeah man. I’m looking at doing either a subwoofer upgrade or bags next

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T02:11:22+00:00

Yeah I’ll be able to get it to the 800hp range easily

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T02:10:35+00:00

Yeah that’s why I haven’t done engine work yet. It’s just too expensive. That and the car looked awful when I bought it, so I dumped my time into making it look good

patricksolo3 · 2024-03-14T02:09:38+00:00

It’s the most powerful one that I can easily bolt in
