|  Slingshot Build
Just starting to get into crawling after playing with my brothers MRC so i decided to get one of my own, found one on Ebay and scooped it up it had a sling shot chassis, losi threaded shocks, and a hobbico servo this is what i got  First thing i did was wheels and tires, 1.9 FlatIrons on 8 spoke Aluminum Beadlocks weighing 4.3 ounces a piece so no need to weight them...yet  Next came a Holmes Hobbies 33t motor, Tekin B1R ESC, Hitech HS-645MG servo, Losi Metal Lockers all around and Tranny flip     I have lipo's on the way, 2s 850Mah and cant wait till all this snow melts so i can go out and Bash this thing!!!  |

nice find,that chassis has worked very well for me in the past. I will say that 4" tires work best IMO with that chassis. |

Pull the motor and try it without any pressure on it. If it is stock ditch it and buy a motor from Rockhard. I am saving my quarters from one myself.

Looks to me like it has a quality motor already.... its probably iether a holmes,or a trinity mini moster its got the cobalt blue can though..... do like rich suggested,remove the motor pinion and see what it does. It could be a # of things though.It may be a stuck brush could be the brushes are worn could be it needs a cleaning could be a combination of all. I myself would deffinatly remove the motor and open it up,and give her a good inspection/cleaning |
