Re: Help
I would suspect that the vibration weight has moved or wasn't put on right and is rubbing either the plastic case or the metal mount. As for the turn signals are you sure it's an 01 and not an 03? ...

Re: Lipo care and use question
Either or will work Mario. Cycling them a few times either with the charger or by using them is always a good idea after having them sit so long.

Re: Carson steering arm
They are only used for the Euro style trucks to clear under the transmission. Not really designed for the American trucks.

Re: futaba am radio
I'm pretty sure the issue isn't with the 2.4ghz radio not working with the MFU but more that most 2.4ghz radios come with digital trims which don't play well with the MFU. When I got back in and...

Re: Drop Axle
You do realize they do go into an order cue and then have to be made right? So you could have one or one hundred orders ahead of you. It's not like they have them sitting there ready to ship out.

Re: J12 plug on mfc-01
No damage all it does is put the truck into a "towing" mode and always thinking it has a trailer on and the MFC put out more. A lot of guys do it. You just loose the coupling noise if you do remote...

Re: My first build
If you've never been able to get the ESC to go into reverse it may be in race mode. Which will only allow you to have brakes and no reverse. You'll have to program it to have reverse. Which ESC do...

Re: stupid question....
Voltage doesn't make it run longer, voltage makes it go faster. It's the mAh(capacity) that you want higher to have the truck run longer.

Re: custom aluminum & steel tamiya wheels
What about set of scale super singles drive wheels? I know no one actually makes the tire but isn't too hard to cut 2 tires to make one. The hard part would be the wheel itself.

Re: Grand Hauler on The Shelf
Actually if you read the ad, it states it'll be available early march. So they are doing a pre-sale on it before they even have it in their hands.

For me it's lipo. They hold a better charge, take a charge better and don't form a memory like nimh batteries do. But if you are using lipo's you need to either have an ESC with a lipo cutoff built...
