twalker182 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 @Wishuponasub This is gonna sound dumb but sometimes 3S batteries are "too much". I would break driveshaft pins in my Stampede when running a 3S (and I had the drivetrain from a Traxxas X0-1 installed...and you can run 6S on those). The 2S will be plenty. If you need a charger...I have a basic Hitec one for sale...just PM me. @bsneon98 Only time will tell with that one. On the cheaper ones....servos usually break first. You really get what you pay for with RC stuff. They will break over the smallest crap (and survive bad crashes somehow)....lol. 2010 Accord Sedan XS D3400R Clarion HU Sundown mids and highs Incriminator amps Incriminator Lethal Injection 12" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Slash is a great choice and the rpm upgrades are something you would have ended doing anyways. I agree with twalker, 3s is too much most of the time anyways, 2s will be way faster than you think it will. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

I dont mind upgrading a servo or suspension component, plus having a 3d printer I can make my own shit if I really wanted. If it survives a few jumps a just rips around the yard ill be happy lol Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152954-1998-plymouth-neon-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishuponasub Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 I forgot to update this with pics. I'll grab some tomorrow. I've been busy as Hell and have had a few issues with this RC. I'm working my way through them though.
