Well I'm sure that bouncer is going to love it's new home, especially when you get a little further along on your outdoor course. It's going to think it went to heaven.

It has a brushed esc and a trwxxas motor
I think I'll be uprdading them to Brushless once they break

my son Vegeta got to test out the bouncer... here's a thing.. this video?" its the entire life of my 3s battery. so the battery is acceptable for a crawler, but i need a more appropriate batt for this bouncer. any suggestions?

Man, that ESC is set with no pause between fwd and rev. That's a gear killer.

You beat me to it WF.

I think the settings procedures are the same between G1 and G2, but not 100% on that. Not sure if this works with that ESC or not. But it says it does.

Dude should given you the program card because it's included when you buy the ESC. Guess he probably kept it for his other HW ESCs.
You don't really need the card, you can program with the button using beeps.

Wheel is busted
How do I find a new set of wheels that will fit?
Do I look based on the axles?
My other rigs all have hex nuts on the axle that the wheels fit into
This one does not
It looks like the plastic wheels "did the job" of the hex, built into wheel.
It has been eaten up bad and I'm guessing the others are wore down as well
The axles are redcat xr247
As I'm typing on phone I'm looking on pc and I see it dos in fact come.with he's.
The more I dig the more I got burned lol
First up is gonna be wheel hex
The set I have don't fit

 

[Tunedfrog]

If it were me, I would try a wheel hex on there, it looks like it just might fit.

 

[nino]

Get a set of regular 12mm hexes and some regular wheels... i remember old Axials coming with pin drive wheels, nonsense.

the spare hex;s i have on hand are for the hbx and wont fit around the shaft at the base so can't seat fully, am ordering a set off amazon,

Let me find you some badass wheels...

Shoot. They aren't available anymore
RCLIONS Aluminum 2.2inch Beadlock RC Wheels Rims for 1:10 Rock Crawler Axial Wraith RC Car -Pack of 4pcs (Black) https://a.co/d/8erj509

Those are the exact same wheels RC4WD sells for $165. I bought a set for $52, and they are the nicest wheels I have ever bought.

 

[majin]

I drilled out the 2 hexes I had on hand till they fit
Now my wheels won't lol
The axle is Hella thick and the spare set I have that I can throw on the rig that also give enough clearance to fit AND turn already have my expensive proline tires on them and are a real pita to take apart so I'm not really wanting.to do that especially since I do like putting them on the redcat and if I throw 2.2 on them rhats no longer a thing
Do I look for deep dish rims or something specific?

 

[Kratonwatch]

Cool looking rig!
