I broke the lexan body where the faux exhaust pipe mounts. I really still like the design of the front so I kept the top and front panels for now. I made templates for the panels. Want them? Here they are 1:1. I resoldered the light. Mounted it into the grill. I like it. Next up some more VP goodness! |

I'm obsessed with clear anodized VP parts! Yeah...the RTR should come with the trailing arm reinforcement plates as a running change... Thin tape to keep the nuts in for lazy screwing. I also lengthened the shocks a tiny bit with longer ball ends. What hub width's are you guys running on front and rear? |

So .225 in the front and .600 in the rear? I have it wider in the front than the rear. Do some people do that? It seems better for turning at speed.

I bent the shorter rear axle shaft. I'm not sure if adding the stronger trailing arms made that the weak point or if the violent traction rolling I was getting from using the wrong foams... |

Thanks! I stripped out the bevel gears. The heavy duty gears are much stronger...and less sloppy. I found some on ebay. Apparently, Axial is having trouble producing them right now. I also sanded off the Axial logo on the diff cover. Now it looks like a spider! Last edited by THX_138; 07-09-2018 at 09:13 PM. |

The locknuts that keep my wheels on are contantly coming loose. I bought new locknuts and it didnt help. wtf? Some updates: The lights I was using broke from the punishment. They were 5mm led's I soldered to wire. So I got rid of the lights I had and the control box that let it do all kinds of dumb police car blinking stuff. Instead I used some commonsense RC leds. I hot glued some wire bundling stuff...whatever it's called...around the led conection points. Maybe it will be able to take more abuse now. This stuff is sweet. Hot Racing 1:10 scale diamond plate. It's stamped sheet metal. I covered the hole from the light I had in the center with the diamond plate A small neodymium magnet behind the new grill makes a handy body pin holder I was going to mount the gopro here because it would be incredablty ridgid. However, crashing hard with the gopro mounted directly to the motor can could cause some problems...so I'm not doing it. I was going to put these wheels on but I decided to put them on my xr10 instead. I should get new tires soon... And now to break your brains. |

| Re: Joywrex's Yetay Seriously, I keep breaking rear axle shafts. Do aluminum lockouts fix this? Or aluminum axle housings?? |

I've heard of people bending their ssd axles but I suppose aluminum is the answer. The threading in the plastic axle is stripped where the lockouts screw in so just getting standard al lockouts didn't help. I should have gotten vanquish lockouts which clamp onto the axle...
