    By far the traxxas ID lipo charger system is the easiest way to get back into the hobby. But there's alot more to know about the lipos then just push a button. You have balancing, storage, definitely need a fire proof box or bag to keep them in .. a cell checker /volt metter to keep eye on the...

    Sorry if I said something offensive..I understand what you mean. Buy just by dialing the speed down. Could also not be good for the overall health of the RC. Could cause some other problems other then broken a arm. Could frie esc or motor...plus Doesn't help if your not going to pay attention...

    You can get tons of upgrades for the slash. Alot of untapped speed and power with the slash.. the 4tec not sure about that one i don't run on-road RCs. This is just a quick look on traxxas site..there's so much for the slash.. why would you dial back the speed on a 1/8 just get a smaller...

    The problem is the industry doesn't have a set standard. As for the scale of all the RCs. Some say 1/10 but really a 1/8. And the other way around. Even with other scales as well. You gotnto look at the over messurments. And make the judgment for your self. It's better that way. And probably...

    You can upgrade anything you want on a Traxxas. I have my original traxxas receiver and transmitter running my original hornet with green machine 2 brushed motor and a mrc servo and a tamiya esc. So don't know what this crao about Traxxas being able to only control Traxxas is. But there you...

    Definitely doesn’t need to go by what Talbot says 🤣🤣 he's on his own level of crazy 🤣🤣🤣👍👍 The RC is for 9 and 12 yr old. And backyard track bud. And the spectrum batteries are definitely not what they need. He's not looking for data logging. And that's what the spectrum batteries are for. Not...

Well to a extent..motor wise you can gear up or down anything a higher KV will be more RPM. The lower KV the more tourqe.. you can gear...

    Yes agreed about finding what you want to get. And due some research on it. Should be the first thing. As you only know what your looking for..the lipos they are very sensitive compared to the nicd nimh of old. That's for sure. And it's always better to balance charge lipos no matter what. Then...

    Did you even read what the OP said. Its been 30yrs since last in hobby. I can clean a rc up till it looked new. Doesn't mean the tranns has gears in it bud. Or that the diffs aren't stripped out. Alot can be said about buying used. Relax.. l'm not trying to say if you know what your looking at...
