I got to run my Arrma Vendetta 3s BLX for the first time this year after i got the front diff re-shimmed. She ran awesome although she did have a cutoff 4 minutes in but i turned her off and back on and no problems for almost 15 minutes until LVC kicked in.

Here she is after the run. Also temporarily running my Futaba 4PM at least for this run until i get paid on Saturday then i can order up an AVC receiver for her to run her on my DX6C and a couple other little parts for her.

Today, I ran both my B74.1 and my Vendetta it was fun. I also speed tested the Vendetta and up to 53Mph although it was having amp out and cutout issues while speedrunning not sure if it's the battery or ESC. I did a short test run with the B74.1 to test my new to me free SR315 Spektrum receiver i got from @Lostinthewoods86 and it worked flawlessly.

Here's some pics after my 2 runs. Unfortunately i forgot to get a screenshot of the Vendetta's top speed.

Running the carpet tires on the street? How does it do?

It does okay but it's probably not good for the tires though.

I ran my Slash 4x4 Ultimate this morning and speed tested it. It went 37Mph on 3s with 19p\52s and bear in my mind my truck has the Copperhead 10\1415 2,400kv combo. Truck ran beautifully and did cutout or stall like my Vendetta did but i finally found a cure for it i downloaded the Spektrum usb link for PC and i already had the program card so i just connected it and was able to upgrade the firmware.

Here's some pics.

Downloads/upgrade fuxed the issue? Bad software issue? Glad you got it screaming!!!

I hope so i had to download the Spektrum USB Link from their website and plug the programmer and ESC into my laptop and i was able to update the firmware. I hope to get paid to today or Monday so i can order the parts i need for the Vendetta, XO-1 and my X-Maxx.

I actually found this video about how the LVC's on the older 100a and 120a ESC's are set too high on the old factory firmware. And i couldn't adjust it on the old firmware nor the timing on the motor. But now that i have done it there should be no more problems i also might check my 160 as well soon.

I understand what happened now and how it fixed.

Just reading this

I'll plan to be back up there some day but I been doing well at Mimi's for now.

I forgot to mention i also ran my Vendetta today for a short time until it cutout. As i mentioned in an earlier comment i downloaded the Spektrum PC smart esc programmer and got the firmware updated so hope that when i get it back up and running running in the next week or two. I also got all my parts for the month ordered and they'll be on the way soon. More updates to come.

Here's the car currently all taken apart.

I ordered a new pullout AVC receiver for this car, some set screws just need one though for the antenna tube and some more diff shims. So hopefully with the updated ESC, new receiver and other fixes this car should be awesome and reliable for awhile. Also bought diff parts for my XO-1, a new receiver, a new receiver box for the X-Maxx and parts to fix the stock motor after the incident that broke a bullet.

Ran all the cars besides the rustler. What a tiring day. That's my RCing for this weekend

While playing with the Gate Keeper today, I brought out the Redcat Scout II ascent 18 and the Hobbyplus CR18p. The CR18 is a beast it took all the same lines as the 1/10 Gatekeeper. The scout needs a bit of weight and a few upgrades to make it a bit more capable but stiil pretty fun.
