Re: bigfords trucks
If both are being used on the same RX then one of them needs to have the red wire pulled. I would recommend using whatever ESC has the better BEC to power the RX and servo and pull the wire on the...

Re: adding weight for more traction?
Aluminum wheels will give you weight over the stock plastic, and I'm assuming you want traction when not pulling a trailer so I would suggest ditching the stock tires if you already haven't and going...

Re: Non Lipo friendly products?

Re: Best Battery???
Yeah that seems a little low. What kind of charger are you using, what current are you charging it at and how long does it usually charge and how hot does the battery get?

Re: Spektrum AR610 for air only?
