• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Your photobucket account is "mattpalmtree" Bwahahahaha

Why don't your photo bucket vids get all crappy like mine? The vid quality of vids I upload turns to ****.

And both links are the same vid. Looks like fun though. Definitely better off road than my revo. But my revo has tons of power. I'd be wheeling the whole time

I've found if I use mobile upload for vids they turn to **** but if I upload on a computer they upload in good quality

i just saw your body clips sitting there. i got sick of loosing them, so i tied 30 lb fishing line to them, used a fishing hook knot. then tied the other end to a rivet, (fishing knot again) made the line 2 inches long or so clip to rivet, then drilled a small hole in the body and put the rivet on the body. so it looked like hood pins for a car. and i also never lost another clip.

i did this to every body i had, and my ex's kids cars, as he lost more clips then the car was worth lol

a few people at the local track i used go to saw it and copied it.
 


to stop the clips from ripping through the body, use washers and put the pins over that. If you rip THAT off you have bigger things to worry about.
 
those washers do help the body from ripping, but when the clip flys off so does the washer, and its gone soon after buying it.
 
whoops lol

also had smoke coming out of the motors lol and i may have smoked a gear or something it just didnt sound right
 


got it monday couldnt drive it till yesterday. i figured out the smoking was the seaweed sitting on it getting hot. and i broke the shock tower and shocks by rolling it over without the body on it
 
Palmer thats with ANY r/c its not company limited. I know its a toy and ur rich but jeez, take care of the dam thing. I havent broken a dam thing on my 4x4 yet and I have had it for over 4yrs. ok I lied I fried the ESC putting in a 9.6 volt battery instead of a 7.2:)
 


"I dont know who carry's that part, Cen has discontinued it.

As for a prop, thats the same. Graupner is going bankrupt. So they
havent produced props in a long time."

your fking kidding me, how the hell am I supposed to get my boat back on the water.
 
hmmm mod one for the prop shaft maybe.


but still convinced i smoked a motor somehow. I finally fixed the shock tower and shocks today. drove it and it makes a loud whinning noise and doesnt have instant power it take time for it to react. which made me think its something with the gears but none have teeth missing. I stopped driving it and the one motor was smoking and smelled like something was burning. which leads me to think that motor is gone
