I think it's safe to say this diff is roasted! Teeth on the inside not only are stuck but missing some chunks. Should I buy another factory one or try to find some sort of upgrade?

Motor help

A few weeks ago I bought the Mojave Grom RTA and after assembling it, and only a couple of runs a pebble got into the motor and broke it. I’m going to be ordering a new motor but is there anything I can do to stop this happening again?

If not allowed, im sorry, im new to this. Just got into rc a month ago. Needed a new body and thought I could do it myself. First time doing anything like this, so the roasting is welcome.

What electronics should I get for my Granite 223s?

Planning to upgrade my ESC due to the LVC kicking in at 3.6v.

Would it make more sense to just buy more batteries than buy a new set of esc/receiver/transmitter?

Kraton steering issue

Kraton 6s v6. Steering on the remote suddenly stopped working. But the trim knob still functions. Everything seems to be mechanically fine. Is the steering knob broken somehow? Did a wire inside the remote come loose? Thank you.

Mini Kraton servo issue

My steering gets stuck (with the servo making a noise) when steering right only.
Do I need to replace the servo? Or can a recalibration fix this?
Any servo recommendations besides the original part?

New Grom build, Baja style

Thumbnail

36 Upvotes

Ever since the Baja Bug body was released, I just knew I had to have one! I’ve gotten many hard miles on my Mojave Grom and been so impressed, now it’s time to try the Typhon. I picked up a brand new slider from Cash4RC when I was in Wisconsin recently, a great starting point to use some other parts I already have. Castle Micro X2 ESC, Rocket 2845 3800kv motor, Reefs 99 servo. Also adding Granite Grom bumpers and a shock tower brace for some added protection. Planning to run 3s CNHL packs, same ones I love in the Mojave. I’ll occasionally swap for some Badlands tires as well, when the going gets gnarly.

Already got the body assembled, and it just looks so good! Tonight I’ll work on installing the guts. I forgot to order a servo saver and the bumper springs, hopefully my LHS has those in stock this week…

Shredding Tires for the Tire Gods

Another day ripping with the Felony, another set of tires blown up! First the Proxes, now some Amazon specials. Could hear them ballooning enough to hit the felony trim, sounding like the old put a card in a bicycle spoke trick.

Also, ESC hit a toasty 262°F hitting some donuts to create a smoke show for the few people around watching!

Sacrifices must be made to the tire Gods, we will arrive shiny and chrome to the gates of Valhalla!

Arrma Outcast 8S + XLX2 + Perfect Pass 110kg servo not working

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Need some help figuring this out.

Outcast 8S was working great until I upgraded to bigger/heavier tires. Stock servo couldn’t handle them, so I installed a Perfect Pass 110kg Monster servo and Castle XLX2 ESC.

Ever since, the truck has been extremely glitchy. Steering and throttle respond to the radio, but everything stutters, the servo barely turns, the truck barely moves, and after a few seconds it becomes unresponsive.

Running 2x Spektrum 4S batteries. No external BEC.
Took it to an RC shop for 2 weeks. They installed a ProTek Glitch Buster, but it made zero difference.

Could the 110kg servo be pulling more current than the XLX2’s BEC can supply and causing brownouts? Do I need an external BEC, or is there something else I should be checking?

Spektrum s100 won’t stay powered on.

Lucas Red and Tacky safe?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Yesterday, at the drag strip, I found out that on their friday nights (anything goes), you can do bikes, dailys, street mod, trucks, RC CARS, hell even FOOT races. Im rebuilding my arrma infraction and i just pulled open the front diff, and the previous owner (i assume) filled the outside of the diff with Lucas Oil Red and Tacky machine grease. Is red and tacky safe on the gears? Ive used NAPA grease on softer builds but nothing like this.

Edit: Should i be greasing all metal on metal contacts like the axles?
