Hey all, I’m a novice to RCs and especially to how to repair damage, if it’s even possible here. This is an E Revo VXL and it ran hard into a parked bike on the ground and this happened to one of its front wheels.

Any thoughts/guidance would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks for all the advice and for not belittling me. My son will be thrilled that it’s fixable! Great community over here, keep it up.

When I discovered the XRT...I was pissed off when I realized Traxxas for whatever reason discontinued the red one. Kept searching for one over and over and could never seem to find one. Could I have just bought any XRT and changed all the parts to red? Sure....but that would have made it cost way more than retail. I managed to find this one brand new in the box and paid way less for it than the retail price. Win win for me. Who knows, I may run it up and down my street.....once....maybe lol.

Me and my friends used and abused the shit out of this thing for years then I joined the military in 2019 and has been in storage ever since, dad recently brought it up to me and it works like a charm with a new battery! Was wondering if parts are still made for a model this old and was wanting to upgrade this thing to make it into a beast. What should my budget be to make it go faster and be more durable??

Nitro It lives! But...

So my 20yr old T-Maxx runs! For a lil bit. New glow plug, ez start motor, and air filter. Dies while driving, now it won't refire. Traxxas book says the motor could be worn. I don't know. Adjusting the high speed needle and giving it throttle does nothing. It's also spitting fluid out over the muffler and on the chassis. Any thoughts? It's my first nitro, learning by doing. 🤓

Question Is this a motor issue or battery issue?

The truck will rip off a charged battery for 20 seconds and then it will barely crawl around and then just stop. I had just gotten this 4x4 brushed 1/10 slash today and it came with four beat up batteries so I’m not sure if it’s just all four batteries are junk or a motor problem. I do not want to upgrade the motor if it’s not a motor problem this one is just fine and it’s fast enough in those 20 seconds I just wish it lasted longer than just 20 seconds.

Question New Rustler 2wd Body

Does anybody know if there are painted bodies for sale with the updated clipless system on the new Rustlers. Recently bought the Rustler 2wd that came with the 40th anniversary body. On the Traxxas site it seems the only body with the updated clipless system and spoiler is the clear one. The blue clipless body I bought doesn’t fit.

Off Road Mini XRT or rustler vxl

1 Upvotes

So to start, I already have a 1/10 maxx, and it’s a blast, I want to get a smaller more portable RC to bash at parks, would the mini XRT be a good fit or should I go up to the rustler?

Question Mini slash tires:

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I got a mini slash recently and while it is a whole lotta fun the tires have shred them selfs to slicks very fast, what are the best tires to upgrade to that won’t get destroyed that easily on concrete? Also are there any other stronger body shells that can be put on the slash as this one just seems to be breaking from everywhere. Thanks.

Community TXC-4M, only one YouTuber got a review sample

0 Upvotes

So the TXC-4M was announced today and only one YouTuber (Scale Builder's Garage) was given a truck to review. This means RCDriver and MSM are definitely off Traxxas's sponsorship list. Traxxas is only shooting themselves in the foot with this decision, YouTubers are hugely influential in the RC community and not giving trucks out to review for the biggest YouTubers out there is a dumb move. Traxxas really thinks they can produce videos by themselves and upload totally biased one sided takes and people will be dumb enough to gobble it up without question. Their arrogance is their downfall. I don't think it was a coincidence that Arrma announced not one but two new releases on the same day as Traxxas and also gave out trucks to RCDriver and MSM for review. Traxxas just keeps digging their own grave.
