    LiPo problems

    Madgadget_1 I have no idea how to check my resistance, but I will do some research and see what I come up with. I'm all about learning what I can. Thanks for the suggestion.

    LiPo problems

    Thanks for the reply X! I have checked at both balance plugs and deans connectors and voltage is good at both. I also took them into lhs to see about warranty and they checked them and said the voltage is good so it must be my deans connection. My other set works well. I was thinking it was my...

    LiPo problems

    I have 2 sets of LiPo batteries for my flux. One are venom 5000mah 40c and the other gens ace 5000mah 50c. My venom set has quit working. The cells are not dead, they all hold their full charge, and deans connectors seem to be fine. When I connect them the esc turns on and arms itself, but when...

    New LRP ZR.30 spec 4 help/guidance

    Yes sir, I agree. I tried the picco and it's too large. The nitro star 25 is way too small. All I have left to try is traxxas 3.3 which I will try for sure. Readily available

    New LRP ZR.30 spec 4 help/guidance

    Hey thanks Kevin! That's good info to know. I will stick with what I have then and spend some time shopping around for when I need a replacement instead of replacing before necessary.

    New LRP ZR.30 spec 4 help/guidance

    Yes Jam, I know to take apart and clean and seal everything from the start. That is exactly what brought my first nitro engine back to life. I read that thread, and followed it to a T. I have done that with every one of my engines since then ....... but for some reason I have never ever thought...

    New LRP ZR.30 spec 4 help/guidance

    Thank you for your input! I went to remove the engine and check clutch shoes after my high rpm silliness and noticed my carb pinch bolt managed to come off somewhere. I never would have imagined that as a possibility because so far I've not had any troubles like that. As it turns out, I can't...

    Where to find parts??

    My lhs is the same way. Almost all traxxas. Unfortunately there are zero other hobby shops in a couple hundred miles that I can locate so it's all I have in a pinch. They carry no HPI parts at all but I often order my parts through them when I can just because I try to support my local shop. My...

    New LRP ZR.30 spec 4 help/guidance

    Just installed a new engine, but have issues and questions. I've been trying to break this engine in, but I can't seem to get it up to temp. Two tanks now and under 150 for both. All I have access to is 20% nitro. Could this be my problem? Would using a hotter plug help out? I'm currently having...

    Cartwheel Carnage!!!

    Hey thanks for all the help and info! I will definitely give that a try and start using goop from now on. It's definitely cheaper than ca glue. Thanks a lot Jam! Nightflier, I agree, but being able to unmount and remount to another wheel makes it better because at least I have a spare wheel for...

    Cartwheel Carnage!!!

    Well maybe I can salvage this tire after all. Then I will look into plumbers goop. I use goop on my bodies, but that is automotive goop. Would you happen to know if it is from the same company?

    Cartwheel Carnage!!!

    Well I just might have to give that a shot. Certainly couldn't hurt to try it out. Thank you very much for the suggestion!

    Cartwheel Carnage!!!

    Went out to run my trucks yesterday. Savage 25 was the first one I grabbed..... turns out I lost the wand for the Roto start. So I pulled the t-maxx out because I was really in the mood for some nitro run time and it ran well for about 3/4 of a tank then kept dying on me whenever I let off the...

    WTB Old picco p3 .28 please?

    Mine is also brand new in the box, but some ignorant individual (myself) purchased a non pullstart version and I have no way to make it work unless I buy a different rc vehicle. All I own are monster trucks that won't take bump start. I am wondering if I'm better off just selling it and moving on?

    flux HP won't move but makes terrible clanking

    Yeah Jam, I know it. I've been working on that. Only time I do it is when I am trying to correct too late and can't get the wheels slowed down before I land. As you can see I learned to jump on those gears. It's my first time ever jumping an rc. Concrete skate park wasn't exactly ideal, but it...

    flux HP won't move but makes terrible clanking

    I believe that is the price of skate park ramping on concrete. Can't find anywhere to go with dirt tracks to play so the skate park has become my playground. Fun, but I have put a decent amount of cash that I don't have just so it can "kinda" handle the abuse.

    flux HP won't move but makes terrible clanking

    Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my savage? Hehehe Just figured I would show some carnage since I know it's enjoyed from time to time.

    WTB Old picco p3 .28 please?

    I am in desperate need of a picco p3 .28 pullstart crankshaft and backplate but I cannot locate one anywhere at all. As many loyal savage owners on this forum have used them, I am really really hoping someone has what I am needing and are willing to part with it? If anyone has this, or has any...

    Savage 25 questions

    Sounds good. Thank you. Yes to the same fuel tank, and yes to the nylon or plastic spur gear. I will start searching for replacements. Currently waiting on a few items in the mail anyway so I might as well add more to the list right? Hehe.
