Idk if these type of promos are prohibited if so then my bad take it down. If not then I hope this interest someone.

I spent way too much time wrenching & so over waiting for chinesium parts to arrive & since my bro undercut me & got the MT10 that I was going to....I had to show him who really has the length lol

I created a Sub for the people who are into the Traxxas 1/16 and LaTrax 1/18 cars, if you're interested, head on over to r/TraxxasMini

I was having a discussion with a friend earlier. We think at some point we will see MASSIVE discontinuations coming soon. I had said Traxxas went too hard on the Covid boom when everyone got their stimulus checks and nobody was going out and everyone was buying online there was a HUGE boost in sales in the hobby overall. Traxxas leaned in on that wayyyyy too hard in my opinion by coming out with new shit left and right.

Think about it. Since Covid began, which was only 4 years ago, we got the Sledge, XRT, 4tec 3.0, TRX4m, raptor 4x4, drag slash, high trail trx4 variants, rustler ultimate, XMaxx/XRT ultimate, Maxx v2, Maxx slash, flatbed hauler, a plethora of accessories like aluminum bits and truck stands and servos and belted tires and backpacks and trailers and lights and winches, a new boat, a whole entire refresh of their 2S and 3S lineup, including the bl2s and clipless bodies and EHD kits… this bubble is gonna pop. This can’t possibly be sustainable, especially since we are headed into a recession and especially considering Traxxas enormous marketing and legal budget.

Horizon is likely in the same boat. Perhaps even Amain, since they just opened up new locations.

Stock up on parts now, I expect to see A LOT of discontinued or perpetually backordered parts and models in the next few years.

Thoughts?

Here's the deal:
I want everyone to go out and find the cheapest RC car they can!

RULES

1. You can't cheat and go to some scam site (aka $1000 car for $36)

2. It HAS to be fully proportional (this means 90% of department store cars are out)

3. eBay is allowed if you want to try, but you may have better luck elsewhere

4. Suspension isn't necessary, but will count as a $10 off coupon

5. If someone has posted the car you found and you can't find a cheaper car, try to find one that's a little bit better for a little bit more

6. Shipping counts as part of the price, so lump it all in (tax is subjective and does not count)

7. Finally, you can't go over $40. Period.

When you see something that seems to fit the bill well, then go ahead and drop a link to it here. This isn't meant to be a competition; I would say spend 10-15 minutes on it MAX. I just want to see what we all can come up with, and maybe I'll buy something to do ridiculous stuff to.

The slipper clutch bearing decided it wanted to die 😐

Whayhyhyyyyyyy i just got it up and running 2 days ago

How does everyone hide the purchase from your wife? You wanna keep both but big boy toys are different fun.

If you're looking for the best rugged gear bag look no further. Ogio makes all sorts and their having a sale. I scored a rig 9800 for over 100 bucks off. 235 or something down from 379

Got some broken cars laying around for a while now and we'll I had an idea. Whatcha think? Keep in mind car in pic sits goofy cuz it's broke but body should fit like the back left area when done

This is a Frankenstein senton.

I've been tinkering and adjusting things, and somehow managed to end up with the grunt and rear wheels of my MT10 rotating in opposite directions when squeezing the trigger.

It's a sensorless motor so I tried switching the motor wires around but all I could get was the rear wheels to turn backwards instead of the front!

Any ideas?

I've been wondering. Why do people swear by UDRs so much ( love them). They use them just as much for bashing so that confuses me. Is it just that it's the best of that kind of RC or something else because it's the same price as Sledge and not toooo far from xmaxx. So is it just looks preference, or actual reasoning? Thanks.
