12 rc's and only one I can use

Post by slim_chance »

Things have not gone my way the past few weeks. I currently have 12 rc's and the only one I can use is my xl1 stampede. One of them I just got too. Here is a rundown of what I am up against and how my luck has went to crap.

Rc-10- black widow buggy. Pulled the tekin speed control for my daughters tlo1

Tlo1- not mine anymore gave it to my oldest for here bday. It now has a baja bug body and sc wheels and tires on it. Looks cool

Rus'buggy- ran it with a 12t double with a 7 cell ended up being to much power for the tamiya battery connector and my soldering iron quit so I can't install my new traxxas connectors

Super Blackfoot-pending rebuild currently dissassembled with no electronics

Corrally-needs lipo saddle packs and lipo ready brushed esc thinking of getting a xl5 for it

Rc10 graphite-Needs parts to rebuild rear suspention

Ltx40- No tx and pretty much going to remain a shelf queen

Rs4 rally- still waiting for it to come back from afganistan in our conex

Big bear-pretty much junk at this point

T3- stealth slated to be installed on widow buggy the rest going into scrap pile for future builds

Sc10-just got it and I broke it. The guy I got it from overtightend the slipper I think because I looked like the spur and pinion where messhing right so I ran it and under full throttle launch it completely balded off the spur. I was able to adapt a traxxas 78 tooth spur with parts from the t3 slipper set up it worked really well except I was a bone head and put on a 31 tooth pinion. And yeah it was stupid fast but I burned out the reedy 3300kv. Oh so stupid. Oh did I mention it was borrowed? Now I am buying it
by choice

Stampede-only one ready to run

So that is how my rc life is going. I am also buying another rustler xl1 for my youngest for her bday I was going to give her my pede but I rather keep it and give her the rustler it is in great shape

for the corally there is a speed control from dynamite its called tazer 10t lipo it can do the saddle pack easy and it will hold down to a 10 turn double i have used it personally on a test car and i got to admit it holds up only thing i would recommend is change out the connectors on battery side and motor side. use bullets on the motor and deans or the traxxas connector

both rear arms, dogbones, axles, bearing carriers and shock tower. I took them off years ago and they got lost after moving around a lot. I was trying to make a stadium truck out of it and I have t3 rear arms bearing carriers and shock tower on it now.

Update I got the widow buggy and the rus'buggy running again but then I broke the rus'buggy. Maybe I shouldn't have trusted the tl01 carriers. Ordering a tacon motor for the sc10 on the 15th. And I have the Corally running too.
