a few years ago, my uncle had a 2wd stampede. It was fully loaded, treaded wheels and tires, aluminum parts, velineon 3500 Esc and motor, the thing flew. then he hit a brick mailbox at full speed! I didn't see it, but I saw the aftermath. the right wheel was touching the rear wheel! it had bent the bottom aluminum plate like a soda can! it Broke the ears off of the steering servo. He ended up Jb welding the steering servo and bending the aluminum plate back.

Aluminum plate? After-market I guess...

 

[Tunedfrog]

Kinda wondering that myself.

yeah it was an aftermarket aluminum skid plate...

But I bet it looked real nice til it folded!

"wasn't driven too hard by its previous owner... well not hard by my standards at all anyways lolol"
So it wasn't actually driven OFF the bridge...???
What's your secret for keeping the new R/C's under Mrs. Majin's radar???
Lots of spray paint caps and masking tape left around maybe?
I need to know more!
Mrs Certified has noticed the extra boxes in the recycle bin! ...radar is pinging!!!

I'm liking the orange body too! Nice score!

need to order
https://www.teknorc.com/shop/tkr685...steering-blocks-for-slashstmpd-4x4-front-6mm/
https://www.teknorc.com/shop/tkr6852x-m6-driveshafts-and-hub-carriers-for-slashstmpd-4x4-rear-6mm/
every single time with no excepetion that I've driven this little beast I've busted a driveshaft. even just a few rips up and down the street and kersnap one flies out.
i think i got an easily adressed issue, I'm faster in reverse. more punch, and when driving forward if i just let go of the gas the pede will just do a front flip. locks up immediatly and foes front flips like a mad man.
i swapped 2 motor wires but maybe i swapped the wrong wires? i dunno, i can't work on much atm cause i can't bend over and my work bench is just a tad too low for me classic

In one of your gallery pictures, the blue and yellow wires are switched. If you switch them back I think that will fix the problem....

 

[CertifiedMike]

It does sound like you might have a forwards/backwards radio/esc/motor thing happening.
Do other ppl have issues with driveshafts in this truck?
Is there an upgrade?

No that calmed it I switched the wrong wires I believe tho
I swapped them because reverse was forward or some such
Once I can I'll triple check just to be sure
But I'm 99% certain I swapped them for a reason .
Now wether that reason was good is entirely up for debate
I'll swap em and give it a shot in the daylight



Keep snapping driveshafts

 

[CertifiedMike]

Because your truck is doing opposite your radio.
Revesrse your throttle on your radio and fix your wires.
Right now, you pull the trigger forward but your radio is sending a brake/revesre signal to your esc. Ypur esc is sending that to your motor but your wires are reversed so your truck drives forward even though its in reverse.
You snap the drive shaft becaause you're going full reverse to full brake each time you decellerate/throttle off.
Thats what it sounds like from my house with all these gummies.

Awesome bro! Stay as strong as a man can stay!
Canna DOES work.
Its not the same but it most certainly helps me to deal with my pain.
I'm so happy to hear when other ppl have success with it too!
I swear by CBD and is in my RSO as well.
You might want to give CBD a go for muscle pain too.
I also use a CBD/CBG topical that works miracles for me!
We are lucky its (mostly) legal now!

My g/f keeps treatening me with similar...
"You keep that up and I'll rip that metal rod out of your leg and smack you in the head with it!", she tells me!
Thats love like you see on the Honeymooner's right there!
"To the moon Alice!"
