Two things i have always said is criminally under preached is lipo safety and tire balancing . One saves your rig and the other saves everything else. Cheers and happy new hear
Having a house RC makes sense to me. I took my Kagama out after the rain and I'm still picking up clumps of grass and mud and still the bottom of the arms and the chassis, and the shell, it looks like someone spent 10 minutes gluing chunks of grass clippings to it. The cleanup (even with an air compressor) is lasting much longer than the bash session did.
Great video. Bought 2 myself with the special Traxxas was running. Have a TRX 4M and I put the high speed gearing in for $5.00 going to do that for the two 4MT''s and put the brushless conversion in at least one to try. You know how it goes...can't leave well enough alone, as my mother used to say...
I'm always puzzled whenever people buy two of the same RC. I'm not trying to sound like a jerk or anything, but can you explain to me why you buy two of the same brand new truck, if you're going to upgrade them ? You can only drive one at a time. Why not buy two different trucks, for a different driving experience? I'd never buy two of the same truck, and I don't understand why people do it. Maybe there is something I am missing out on? Can you help me understand why it would be good for me to buy two of the same RC, and then maybe it will make sense. It seems like it's always Traxxas RCs that people buy two of. Is one a shelf queen? Do you sell the other one? Or use it for spare parts, since Traxxas has trouble getting spare parts to their new RCs ? Thank you in advance. Because I might be an idiot, and missing out on something that is normal, something that I would be doing if I was smart. I just can't figure out the benefits, and I feel like a dunderhead. Thanks and have an excellent gummybear harvest in 2025. It's going to be a bumper crop of bēãrz this coming harvest season.
@@Boogie_the_cat I don't think you are an idiot. I have doubles on a couple of trucks, example, two BIGFOOT trucks. When I have friends or relatives visit we each grab one and race or whatever. The BIGFOOT and TRX-4MT's are not expensive and the MT's are slower, lighter and better for the younger kids. If one modification is a good improvement then I will do it to the other to keep the playing field level. The expensive trucks, which I have only one of each, I use when I want to play with myself... BLESSINGS FOR A SAFE AND HAPPY RC NEW YEAR.
If that lipo charger puts out more than the 2 amps that your USB wall wart provides, that's a badly designed charger on Traxxas's part. Charging that 750 mAh lipo should require 0.75 amps. You cannot safely charge that lipo on 2 amps. I'm not sure why your Traxxas charge cable should be asking for anything above 0.75 amps, well below the 2 amps that your wall wart is capable of, unless your wall wart is so cheap that it lies about its specifications. That is a tiny wall wart, and really you should use any standard phone USB wall wart that was made in the last 5 years. Those would happily provide the 0.75 amps that that battery needs to be charged at. If that Traxxas cable is charging at 2 or more amps, that's more of a concern for lipo safety, compared to the lesser concern of your wall wart getting hot.
