THats one reason I plan to go with VXL, work my way into Lipos.

yeah, vxl is good for that.
ive got a few brushless escs that accept nimh, but cog like crazy with them.
the vxl seems to do fine with either one, although now mine only gets lipo!

Nah its not you, the sound does sound funny. Im not sure why it came out like that.

 

[Brian34]

Great videos ! I hope to make one for my truck some day. Gotta love it when you can just stab the gas from a standstill and do a power wheelie.

 

[b-nard]

anybody gona be at the rcmtcny race on sat? the bad habit well be in house!

 

[toyotaman]

Hey guys well Ive been running the truck alot and I love it except for one thing. When I would take off the truck would twist the suspension so bad it would steer itself to the left. So today I modified the stock txt sawy bars and put them on the truck. What a huge difference it made. I can take off full blast and the truck goes straight now and dosent twist the suspension at all now.

 

[bpare207]

Ah yes toqrue twist, gotta love it~ glad to see you figured out the fix for it. That truck looks sweet btw, and nice chassis.

I got some new tires for the txt today. I went out to the auto fair at the charlotte motor speedway. While walking around I saw a big box with clod tires in it. So I went and dug through it and found 4 Imex Baja tires each with a white wheel. The tires looked new. So I asked the guy what he wanted for them and he said 5 dollars for each tire. So I bought all the bajas and wheels for 20 bucks.

wow
what a deal

Vid looked good, sound was another story :laugh

 

[toyotaman]

Yea I still dont no why the sound came out that way. It seems my camera takes pretty good pics, but videos are a diff. story lol. For now just watch it without any sound :tong. But il try and get another video with a diff. camera soon.


Heres the new tires

Hey Hippie, heres a pic for you man. The sticker looks great :tmb

 

[MiRatlhed]

What kind of rims are those, they really suck the bead in.

Those stickers are cool, that looks like a great place to race!

 

[toyotaman]

The rims are stock clods rims that have been narrowed. Im not crazy about them tho. There to narrow for me right now. Heres some pics of them. Im also not crazy about how they were narrowed.

 

[william g]

Those rims are narrowed on both sides. I found the IMEX Baja tire looks good with the wheel narrowed on 1 side only. If they're on stock width wheels they look like the rim is too wide.

Of course that's my opinion, some don't think any narrowing is needed.


Here is 1 side narrowed

 

[toyotaman]

Yea I put one on a stock rim and it was to wide :ack, my giant tracs are on a set of rims that are narrowed a little bit, so I think il probly just use those rims.

Update on the Missile;
I got some 8 cell batteries for the truck and man does it boogie. I also put a 15 tooth gear on it. The speed is great and the torque is just crazy, almost to much torque. :tmb

 

[MonsterTrucker]

Truck looks awesome bro. I love it and the tires were a steal :tmb
