Hi! I am a thirteen-year-old boy who likes to race and bash my RCs. Comment if you're a kid too!!

 

[Tunedfrog]

Yes there is Luke. In reality, we are all kid at heart. simply because most of us refuse to grow up.

Just make sure if anyone PMs you that they are in fact a kid. I would hate to see you end up on dateline

@Addict Rc is a youngster as well.

I'm a kid trapped in an old dudes body! But I'm guessing that's not quite what you meant

It's a news show where they expose child predators and scammers.

Well at least your kraton isn't my slash. With the my slash, screws coming loose, pinion coming off the motor shaft, stripped spur gears, burnt transmission cases and input shaft, pegs breaking in half, burning up brushed motors (I was on my 4th brushed motor before I upgraded to brushless) radio loosing range quickly (stock traxxas tq radio) wheels just falling off completely. My slash and rustler are mostly fully upgraded too. And stuff still happens.

wheels just falling off completely

this never happened outside on the street but did on the sidewalk before. Also happened at my old LHS carpet track. wheel nut was probably not on all the way. This is why I use threadlocker or loctite now on screws going in metal. I ran out of liquid loctite so now I am using a threadlocker glue stick thing. Still works. And also I had noticed RC tools like 1.5,2.0 and 2.5 hex drivers are common around the house. Fixed the front door handle with a 2.5 hex and threadlocker last night.
Or the wheel nut is just coming loose because i got to much power in it? I am running it on 2s and a 4000kv system. Imagine if I do 4s. Or put a 6s BLX system in it.

 

[Gordons_Hobbies]

Threw in a 3s 4000kv into my brushed infraction. The adapter managed to get onto my driveshaft. All i wanted was some smoke, but luckily there was none! used the same battery in my kraton.
And yea, there's probably too much power, because I managed to unscrew something in the linkage of my halfshaft to my wheel on aforementioned infraction.

Sounds like you may need some more loctite

I put alot of the threadlocker glue and still doesn't hold in! I probably do have too much power. I do mostly do speed runs and right now I think I can get it up to about 45 mph. Maybe it is too fast?
