    Hey guys! The traxxas TRX4’s have multiple drive mode options built into the ESC. It looks like yours is in sport mode so there is no drag brake. Try crawl mode! Full drag brake so it doesn’t roll down hills

I never got to meet him but I have always seen how humble, caring, and loving he was to his family, his friends, the sport, and even to complete strangers.

    The trx4m are really impressive for what they are I bought 4 of them 1 for each one of my boys and me we built a course out of cardboard boxes, masking tape and a couple boards even have a couple tape bridges and I will say they are very capable and pretty durable 2 of my boys have chipped a tooth in the steering servo but I was able to pull them apart and turn the gear 180* and they where back wheeling. Love the cheap sled challenge and the rc course!

    $1000 , a million dollar heated workshop with unlimited parts and years of experience. Gee thats a challenge.
    I paid $250 for a 96 skidoo touring e 380 , knowing absolutely nothing about skimobiles or even where to source parts.
    It took me 3 yrs to sort through it all, blown cyl, leaking main seals, sticky clutch, needed all elec circuits renewing, new starter and ring gear, ski's needed welding etc , it was endless learning as you go.
    THAT was a challenge. I had the engine on the workbench 3 times before I got everything right, but it goes good now.

    The yamaha is by far the best sled in the group. Redhead triples go 20k miles without touching them. Buddy has a 01 700 mountain max with 15k miles, never gave him any problems, top end still at 135 psi. They go forever. The steering is tight and they steer easy unlike a 90s polaris. I bought an 01 vmax. 700 with 7500 miles. I didnt mind the high miles. Had a brand new track, bearings etc. i plan on it going another 13k miles easy.
