    @cordite7207 2 роки тому +3

    Personally I found those Maxx tyres expand really easily and it makes for good air control but if the rear diff is empty or running very thin silicon the rear tyres diff out under acceleration and expand unevenly making it start drifting to the left or right and will make for uncontrollable wheelies as one wheel expands larger than the other

    Hi, the TSM is just gyro for steering and it works only when you go forward. At least on my rig it works so. When I want to test the gyro, I always need to pull trigger at lest a little. Anyway, it has no impact on throttle, only on steering.

  • @scottdonahue9193
    @scottdonahue9193 2 роки тому +2

    Turn the multifunction all the way clockwise to 100 for full traction control on pavement. 1/2 way is more for dirt, and all the way off for backflips and ramp jumping. Stock sledgehammer tires are great for flips and off road, but horrible for speed runs... never will handle as well as an arrma kraton or outcast, though. Bet that bulkhead is toast from that tree.. I'm running mine on a max 8 on 6s...

    Le sladge hammer da scatola sono scadenti.
    Ho installato le luise beadlock è stata una rivelazione!! Piu maneggevole,arco di sterzata ridotto ed migliore reazione del servo sterzo ora riesco a fare cose quasi identiche del Granite arrma. Guida controllata e precisa !!grande 😊
