Excellent thanks now I have a new issue the esc is blinking red once then twice then three times tried my other battery same thingGive the slipper adjustment nut on the spur gear a half turn or so and run it. Changing to a more aggressive tire puts more strain on the drivetrain, so your slipper is just trying to protect your rig, and working a bit harder now. Tightening it will however send some of that strain back towards your drivetrain components. If you changed your tire diameter, you changed your final drive ratio. You should keep an eye on motor temps. Going above 160°F is getting into the danger zone.
My advice would be to drive it til something breaks. You might break some A-arms, turnbuckles, shock shafts, shock caps, spur gear, or any number of things on it. Ya never know. You might go ahead and grab some RPM arms for it. They are pretty cheap and fairly indestructible.
Stay away ftom aluminum arms, or aluminum for anything that is hanging out there and can get bent, or transfer a hard hit to a weaker component. Plastic parts flex and absorb impacts. Aluminum... not so much. But aluminum uprights, steering knuckles, hubs, bulkheads, etc are typically good upgrades.
Did you put bigger tires on it?Excellent thanks now I have a new issue the esc is blinking red once then twice then three times tried my other battery same thing
Yes ran it successfully on 2.8 MT traxxas talons then half way through this charge it just stopped. Wasn't hot to the touch.Did you put bigger tires on it?
Thanks I'll try thatYou can try resetting the ESC and recalibrating it. It should be in your manual on how to do that.
But when you turn the radio on... is the throttle trim knob at neutral? If not, the car won't turn on. Always turn radio on first, and make sure throttle trim is at neutral, then turn on the car. Turn off in reverse order. Always.
Ok update fixed the silly esc issue. Resetting worked fine, I tuned in the clutch for less slipping ordered a fan kit for the esc and motorHey guys new here and freshly back into rc cars running a Rustler vxl with 2 cell 5800 mah lipo car is fast I love it.

Update these tires are awesome I may do a smidgen of gear reduction, heat management is on the way and is most definitely needed. I'm still running 2s is 3s going to be a bigger problem?Hey guys new here and freshly back into rc cars running a Rustler vxl with 2 cell 5800 mah lipo car is fast I love it.
