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!"
i used to make rso for some friends back in the day, the cure for it all right there lol.
rc+thc= seratonin

so i swapped the wires back, it still acts the same, reverse is HELLA strong, forward is just strong, reverse rides wheelies, forward does as well just a little slower. but... BUT..... BBUUTT ( COULDNT MAKE IT BGGER SO SPELLED IT BIGGER) i didnt throw a shaft this time, and i wasn't easy on it, landed like 6 flips back to back, hit a few curbs at pretty high speed, bounced all over the place, shaft stayed in, so ima keep the wires the way you guys said as it does seem to perform better this way

I guess I should have asked this right off but is this thing like way overpowered or anything?
I am blowing up 2 different cars on the regular because they have too much motor and I hammer them like they have too much motor.
I don't "send" my trucks so I know its no5 that.
Also, because your back I ask mostly... Are you flipping your truck over by rocking forward, reverse on your throttle or do you give it a "toe" to flip?
Axles don't like that forward,back,forward,back stress.

i kick em over when they flip generally, I've never tried to flip it with the trigger, its too forcefull for my liking, I've seen where some people just flip theirs right over with the trigger, but they are using much bigger batteries and motors than i asm, this guy still hasnt gone over 2s....yet...
seems to be factory motor, is the blue traxxas motor thats on the website,
with my crawlers ill flip them with the trigger tho, but them having the locked diffs makes them just bite in and go, these open diff bashers just wanna spin a wheel, they dont grab when they hit like the closed diffs do.

I can vouch for rso too. You can make the green dragon by not cooking it as long also.
 
Replaced a driveshafts for the umpteenth time lol
Then discovered the cats had chewed through my motor wires
So soldered then back together.
Then took it out for a snowy rip
Battery didn't last but about ten mins cause of the cold

Do NOT get an rc plane, you will not like the results if you take your eyes off of it! 🤣

You know you love your RC's when your willing to risk frostbite for a fix. :banana:
 
i got the front tekno driveshafts in for the stampede today!! woo hoo!!!! I REALLY love running this stampede but as I've posted before i throw a driveshaft everytime I'm out in it.
i read a few other posts about the durability of tekno parts, and they had a driveshaft set for the stampede!!!

extra cool it came with directions, thats been pretty uncommon so far for me
getting them thrown on soon and the rear set ordered asap
came with a sticker sheet too i almost forgot about that

Were the stock units regular dog bones or did it come with a universal joint stock?
Wondering because years ago, my Optimas would throw drive shafts pretty regularly. A tiny bit longer shaft helped, u-joints fixed the issue.
Looks like this upgrade is designed to address the exact same problem! 👍😎
 
Swapped out the front driveshafts
I think it might have made it faster! It definitely feels sturdier
Really want the tears now.
It was 100% plug n play
Easy replacement with no issues at all

What is the part # on the drive cups?
They look like they might fit the Optima and hardened too!!! 🤔

The kit looks like a pretty good upgrade!!! 😎👍
 

took the pede out for a rip, i honestly think this is the first time I've made it thru a whole pack without throwing a shaft.
so impressed with those shafts
