Isn't that what the Novak Smart-Stop Li-Po Cut-Off Module is for? If so, I'd definitely pick one up.

Save your money, it's easy to tell when a faster car like a buggy drops voltage. The Smart-Stop is a must on a crawler or trail rig. They have very low amp draw and it's very easy to go below 6 volts and not know!

Hello Everyone,

I just picked up a RC10B3 and had a couple questions.

I haven't owned a RC car since the 90's and that was a Blackfoot.

Are there crucial spare parts I should get?

Can I upgrade the radio and receiver to 2.4 ghz and will the...

I'm not an expert, just getting back into it like you are. But here's some suggestions based on what I've been learning:

Your 2.2 inch wheels are great since there are lots of tire options. Any 2.2 tires should fit, but there are three different...

OK, Thoroughly frustrated with my efforts tonight. I'm using a weller 140/100 watt iron and get about 6 solders out of a tip before its melted thru on the bottom of the 'head' where the solder flux/acid sits once it beads.
1. is that normal?
2. what...

Cool,
Thanx for all the advice and tips so far. Gladly will be putting some of this to use. Yes I have the trigger type with the puny tip. Will be checking out a new style soon. The helping hand is something I have but didn't think about it being...

First post

I just bought a used slash for general havoc and mischief making, and want to know what will make it easier to run on packed snow/ice. I know paddle tires for light packed snow, but this will be more hard packed, with more ice..

A little more oomf...

Last post

Well, the fortunate thing is that a string of nice days may resolve this issue for me, but it is still something I may want to address for the future, or if we get more snow/ice.

What type of weight will people add to a car to get better traction?

Not going to be much more newbie than this series of questions.

This vehicle is a JRX2 or a JRXT? I know the wheels should be a dead giveaway, but there are a couple of things (body mounts) going on with this rig that say it ain't a T.

LOSI JRX...

Last post

Thank all!

Anyone have a Pro SE chassis sitting around that could take some dimensions for me? I am thinking about narrowing this plate down to SE specs, like the Cox Bros. and later Lavigna did, so that I can run an A&L body that I have for a SE....

Hello all Iam new to this community, but I have an rc10 that Iam looking to upgrade 2 newer style wheels and tires. Do they make a newer style cvd kit to change from 1/4 axles to 3/16? Iam looking for some basic upgrades with out breaking the bank....

Last post

Wide RC10GT axles will bring back the lost track width from the B4 style wheels. New bearings will be required for the wheels as well. I can't remember the size offhand (I know they're plain not flanged).

Hi guys -- I have a couple of noob questions (searches did not yield info.):

1. Do the Associated Pro Buggy Bodies sold at Tower include window masks? If not, do you guys just use the old fashioned tape method? I'm amazed at the intricate detail...

I've read thru a bunch of threads and just want to reconfirm what I think is right. I bought a fairly nice 10t with the intention of doing a old is new buggy but ran across a deal on one already done. Soo why not just fix the 10t and run it. Now for...

Last post

10t/t2t3t4/t4.1/gt wheels are all the same offset. Bolt right on

Good deal but I need T2 cvds right. That is to get rid of dogbone setup and get to 3/16th correct?
