Speaking of your two rigs, get that trailer done!

Your rig with trailer, your dads, and my goose neck would make a sick picture all together. Maybe have a little short course loaded trailer drag race like Diesel Power Mag

I had fun, but it did not go too well track was really slick, tried to hook up got about 10ft out pulled full throttle and spun it right into the inside turning post(bad driver) and the jolt shut the ESc down for some reason,
second run made it past the turning post and hit the ramp wide open but when it landed i had no esc or steering(still at a loss why it shut down..
third run made it past the ramp went hot into the far corner, down by where your son was parked. it was supper slick down there, spun up into the piping and ESC shut down again

I am totally lost on this esc thing..got truck out today with same batts from sat. ran the heck out of it made a ramp that launched it over 3ft in the air at full throttle rolled then rolled back on wheels hit ramp like 6 times that high and hard.. esc never once shut down.
only thing i have done since sat was unplug everything, batts,motors, rx servo use aircompressor and blew out all connections and re connected.. everything seems to be working normal even after running it hard and jumping it high with hard landing... so if anyone has some idea's for me to look at PLEASE throw it out here for me
working on getting a small block nitro now for the 2010 season
gonna run the clod and SB nitro

What ESC are you running?

I have an XL5 Traxxas ESC that does that to me if the rig takes a nice fall on the rocks at the boat ramp. Not sure why, Ive got a few of those escs and it's the only one that acts up. Try calling tec support and if you're lucky try to get it warrentied, because it's thats not normal.

Well maybe it's a Traxxas thing.....My Traxxas VXL brushless system shuts off when I put too much of a load on the truck at a slow speed (scx10) Not sure why, but the esc cuts out. I guess it's just a Traxxas thing. Your best bet it to get it warrentied or try another ESC.
