Sucks no reverse but glad you have a back up. Hopefully it's an easy answer with no future issues. Let us know.. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk | |

Yes. Thanks to good customer service at The Treasure Chest. I went in explained the problem, Bob dug under the counter, opened up another combo and handed me the new esc. He put my esc into the box and said it was going back. He also soldered on my castle bec, an checked the settings, bumped the voltage to 6.0v and updated the firmware. The store is struggling, like all brick and mortar stores, so I try to support them as much as I can. Last edited by lonleycreeper; 11-21-2017 at 10:23 AM. | |

Bobs a good guy. I've been dealing with TC since I was little doing model cars. Glad you got it taken care of and hopefully this one lasts. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

Last week I attempted to run and my truck was totally bound up, snapped a cvd pin apperently. I pulled the cvs and found the other pin had walked out enough to bind on the chub. I rebuilt those, oiled and reinstalled. I brought home some Pitbull, Dirty Richards Foams, Stiffy in front, and leaner for the rear. Definetly changes the shape of the tire, compared to stock foams. |

Wow, a big difference in shape! I'm interested in hearing what you think once broke in and ran a few times. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

Funny thing yesterday, The truck went from meh, to suddenly climbing everything I looked at. When I pulled the wheels the foams have broken in nicely, Initially soft, but very supportive. med in back, and firm up front. She does require more wheel speed than my buddies Bronco, but I blame the hugely, open tread pattern he is using, compared to the tight pattern of the Growlers. |

Yeah the other thing I noticed is the tires don't have the hard glaze on them any more. They feel sticky again... Yay!
