Yes, the stock battery cup and configuration allows for a full size 2S LiPo, in fact I need to buy a Factory Works shorty battery holder to make that actually fit. I'm only using a shorty for brushless purposes.

I haven't driven my TRX-1 or TRX-3 yet, but the TRX-3 looks to me like it got heavier and took a step back from being a pure racer. That's my impression at least based on design impressions. What caused you to think it took a step back from being a pure racer? The addition of the extra plastic from...

The yellow & black 17 turn "3 slot" Radon 2 motor is not a crawler motor. 3 slot motors that are used for crawlers are usually more turns of smaller gage wire, like 45 or 50 turns. 5 slot motors are typically crawler motors. High torque and low RPM are desired for crawlers. Your Radon ...

It comes in 15, 17, and 19. I have all 3 and have run all 3. This is the 19 turn in my shortened comical RC10:

There also are some new motor options from Factory Works.

I put up a few kits on our website just now. Plenty more coming, just waiting on some bearing sets from Avid.

And gone! More coming soon though

I haven't tried a Factory Works motor yet, but they use the same parts that seem to be industry standard now (including Radon 2) for brushed motors. The price is good, and the dyno and break-in are pretty cool too. The guy that sells them seems passable as an ok person too.

In 1995 Traxxas completely wound down their racing program to focus on entry level vehicles when they replaced their last 1/10 2wd electric racing buggy, the TCP, with the Bandit. Bearing only a passing resemblance and retaining precious few components with its racing buggy predecessors the Bandit s...

Got the LED controller today. X4920DVor2k Hot glue to set the LED's in the buckets. https://i.imgur.com/U1IWH7V.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LFxCGco.jpg https://i.imgur.com/50ffNkG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xtTVJW1.jpg Will get the wires routed and tacked down, and then see about fitting this body on the DS.

Now the chassis are almost done, looking at the bodyshell, it's quite simple : mostly flat panels... I started to put the data in for the profile line... https://i.imgur.com/VlEKCo2.jpeg Then, I assembled some surfaces together... https://i.imgur.com/Q2OEaRu.jpeg And soon, I had a bodyshell... (NB: ...

2s is your voltage basically, a 2s is 7.4v (rated, 8.4 or so fully charged). The C rating is how fast it can discharge. Not really a consideration for the speed control. It's a consideration for the motor choice. Think of it as larger fuel line- if you are running an engine that doesn't need all tha...

The battery doesn't force power through the esc, the esc regulates the power. The motor and esc will take what they want. A battery CAPABLE of discharging faster than the power requirement shouldn't cause any issue. To a certain point, the esc might function better. 1060's are known for going into l...

I'll try again with my Team Moo.

All original parts used.

sandkil used a NOS Bud's motor in an insane speed run build a while back and it had a white label too, but I can't see the writing on it. That doesn't mean the motors were always done the same though. "This little label is different! You'll never work at Bud's again!!! You're fired!!!" . 1...

ME: See, if I buy all of them, then I can keep the one I want and sell off the others for close to, if not more than what I paid for all of them, and I get the one I want. WIFE: You always say that, but you never actually sell any of them. ME: .............................. I have no legit rebuttal...

We're having a vintage race at Insanity Race Track at the end of October to close out their 2024 season. If you're within a couple hours drive, come on out!
