    Your excitement and love for the Hobby is unmatched. When you drop a video it’s always a must watch and you never fail to leave me with something new that I learned just from your video. I just moved to Ga a few months ago and I hope to run into one day at a Hobby Shop or Park so I can get a Autograph and Pic with you and more than anything run some RCs with you. Keep up the awesome work Outsourced RC!!!!

    I got my sledge today it the blue body ,the tires were all glued but check all the screws. Most of the screws were loose, especially on the diff covers on the front an rear. I used fuel line for my rear shocks. It runs an handles great, one of the best handling RC CARS I'VE ever driven.

    From what I understand, there's supposed to be an O-ring in there already. It's there in the schematics but seems to be missing in many Sledges.

    • @lazy986
      @lazy986 Před 2 lety +1

      My sledge didn't come with o rings and it doesn't show them in the diagrams. I think this was a good, quick catch by Traxxas.

    Colors out of the box are always different then the press photos. I just picked up a green X-maxx yesterday and I was disappointed that my least favorite livery was the only one available at Hobbytown. But the color is growing on me and I’m really glad it’s what I got.

    In Sweden that is a 900usd car w/o battery. And I would have to start to fix "some issues" right out of the box??? No way my money is going in that direction until obvious flaws are fixed !

    They had the LST... now just give us the TLR LBT!! LosiBasherTruggy!😂

    Has anyone used the Sledgehammer tires on the Rustler 4x4 VXL? I’ve broken a front axle during 3ft jump off a grass hill onto grass (It landed on the edge of the tire). I contacted Traxxas and they told me to loosen the slipper clutch half a turn to remove pressure off the driveline. I wasn’t sure about this response from Traxxas. I do release the throttle when landing any jump to avoid driveline shock.
