The pic is too small to see much.Afaik the front and rear assembly can stay in text for the most part. It's the 4wd stuff underneath that my get weird or if the other owner did some custom stuff I'm not aware of. Notice the motor has three leads but he's wired the brushed to work with a brushless ESC. The old owner was a hardcore RC dork, old fella who had all these cool trucks built up.
Those pics are better. That looks like it will be a blast.I also gotta fix some steering parts that broke.
Lol. I'm now inspired to wrapped my Slash body in foil tape once I get a new one. Keep it for bash days at the skate park.
I hvac taped up my new body then got drunk and took it out late last night in a parking lot down the street. needless to say I had a wee bit of a tumble at full throttle. There is something about being drunk and just wanting to be at full throttle 100% of the time.
I do it to all my bodies so they last longer. It's especially good for road rash on pavement. I go with three layers on the topside, then single layers in wheel wells where tires rub and body mount holes. After you get a bit of rash and the body is exposed, you just remove it, wipe off the residue with alcohol, then reapply.Lol.

Nice lil tip there, thanks.I do it to all my bodies so they last longer. It's especially good for road rash on pavement.

That sucks. My slash is on the shelf because my rear housing melted due to the slipper clutch being too loose. It melted so bad that that the housing plastic coated the slipper clutch plate and the bearing between the slipper and rear diff seized. The truck was smoking so bad that I thought I blew something up. And the smell! Dear lord does that stink.Nice lil tip there, thanks.
I had to run to hobby store. 10 minutes into disassembly I notice the front ends 4wd housing had broken too. Just added at least an hour to this.
I have no idea what the fuck you nerds talking about.That sucks. My slash is on the shelf because my rear housing melted due to the slipper clutch being too loose.

I've got all the parts except for the bearing. Hoping that gets delivered today.
Rc car go boom!I have no idea what the fuck you nerds talking about.
I'd look it up but I'm too busy not being a nerd
holy shit dudeI broke down and bought the x-maxx today. Holy shit is this thing huge! You see it 8n pictures or on video aND you kniw it's big, but when I opened the box I was actually in shock. Fuck massive!
To scale with a 1/10th senton
Look at the difference in just tire size, and that little guy is a truck!
I was trying to figure out something to scale it with so people could see how massive just the wheels and tires are. That shoe is a 10.5 US.
I have it sitting in my living room on the floor. Every time I walk by it I smile because it's so ridiculous in size. The pictures do it zero justice. I've been watching videos on this thing for a long time and when I took it out of the box I was still in shock. One week later and I still can't believe the size.holy shit dude
those are big rigs
why the tape?

could fit a toddler in there and give em the ride of their lifeI have it sitting in my living room on the floor. Every time I walk by it I smile because it's so ridiculous in size.

Saves the body from road rash, so it lasts longer. 50mph slides melt holes in the bodies pretty quickly.why the tape?
Yes, some uber geeks do. I'm geek level 100 though, not 10000.could fit a toddler in there and give em the ride of their life
do people put lil camera on those for first person view?....probably pretty cool images
Yup! Already test drove and she purrrrrrrrrrrs...Noice! Battery charged for a rip?
I've got my batteries charged for both the senton and xmaxx for drunken fun late night! Oh there will be crashes! Bet on that!Yup! Already test drove and she purrrrrrrrrrrs...
Got my Slash on charge, rip the park up and be back for main event.
Post some pics of the Xmaxx getting fucked up.I've got my batteries charged for both the senton and xmaxx for drunken fun late night! Oh there will be crashes! Bet on that!
I can't post action shots while I'm drunk driving, but I'll see what I can do.Post some pics of the Xmaxx getting fucked up.
Ripped the senton around, but now it's raining. The xmaxx is waterproof, but it's just too expensive to fuck around with in these conditions, let alone me standing out in the rain.Post some pics of the Xmaxx getting fucked up.
