    Or….an RC apprentice with fpv to fly over it!!!! Good grief!!!! I know what I’ll be watching for the rest of the weekend! Actually guys, on our property, we have about an acre of woods and the previous owner had started walking path on it. It has been my goal to create a walking path that also...

    Ok... I'm open for suggestions..... where is a 1/5 thru 1/7 roller for $4-500? Yeah, the whole aluminum vs plastic issue..... other manufacturers would need to imitate Traxxas with the plastic structure to really compete with the X....less weight, flex vs bend, etc I have spoken with dozens...

    A LOT ..... is personal preference... For many, stock is ok......but will haver problems with hubs eventually, is what I'm hearing. ESC ? With time, maybe, unless they just putz around the yard with it. Arms, eventually..... However, at the other end of the user spectrum.....Never forget the...

    Is all right..... you are correct, a lot depends on how a person uses there rig they have..... and yes, upgrading/strengthening one aspect of a rig can develop a new 'weak' spot.... I personally find RTR to be - for the mainstream - a good place to start..... I have spoken to several people...

    That’s the plan, man! Nah, I have been trying to get a consensus of how typically rugged a rig is, then what as been a common problem other people have encountered, and what they have done to fix it. The sky is the limit for what can be done to a rig if someone chooses, but I plan on running...

    And thats the cool thing about it.....this is a hobby that, for the most part, you can get a rig that you like, and tweak it if you want to, and make it even better in whatever way you want. If a person is cool with a stock rig....great....if they want to put $3000 worth of aftermarket stuff on...

    Whew! I agree……you have made it top of the line! The higher cg and handling of the bone stock was to the detriment of the rig…..let me absorb all of that…..and do some research….. 👍👌😎 THANK YOU

    Not far from Ft Myers …..Little Gillespie Island off Port Charlotte…..no cars, no restaurant, no stores,just the waves and a lotta good food…..you have to take a boat taxi to get here…. Suggest Holmes Hobbies for crawler info….it’s what he does, all his products are made for crawlers……one of...

    Funny you mention that, you don’t drink because of work, well, both my wife and I are nurses and we don’t do anything that would show up on a drug test. However, when we’re not at work and we’re not driving, would you pass the bottle over here to me please? Especially when we go on vacation...

    Just got back in, it’s just a little bit hot out there! Traxxas TRX4 crawler…… really a nice rig! A lot of good engineering went into it. Depending on how deep you want to get into crawling, which is a different set of skills for going as fast as you can or as fast as you dare. There are...

    I c an give you detail on the trx4 later today, I have one….the main competition for the XMaxx being my next rig is the Kraton 8S EXB….. on the beach, going for a swim….in crawlers, are you looking for a lightweight rig, or does the weight matter? Either way, the trx has you covered…..just...

    Thatwas a lot, stoner, and I appreciate it. Yeah the self writing feature is some thing that is just a gimmick for lazy people. Just by looking at it being done you can tell it’s not gold on the vehicle at best and at worst, stuff breaks. Definitely do the WD-40 treatment on the plastic on my...

    Need Traxxas X-Maxx input

    Not a bad idea.....each of us can (thankfully) tweak a rig to have it suit our style.....sounds like you have a good plan..... I do want some speed, some jumps...good cornering within reason..... There is no place where I live that has any kind of road suitable for anything on road. A roadmap...

    Duratrax is a name that has popped up a lot....... yeah, not expecting anything to turn on a dime....my current largest rig.... a Mojave, doesn't.... I do, however, have a tendency to go fast on relatively flat terrain and do test the limits of cornering ability. I also avoid concrete /...

    Thank you....another winning vote for the XMaxx.... Here is a question that is part of my driving style.... How is the XMaxx.... in cornering/turns at any real speed? Does it get a little squirrelly at higher speeds on relatively flat terrain? Just wondering....btw.... THANX EVERYONE !!!
