nah it was a accident and i dont really care to be honest.
Plus it would be wrong to charge a mate... seriously would be like $100 and im sure i have drunk more then $100 worth of his booze in the last 3 months so its all good.
Just means the wife cant get angry now when i get a new toy, seeing as the old one will be pulled apart for parts (thus why im sticking with traxxas)
Not sure exactly sure what's wrong with the XL5 mate but I would suggest slowly putting hop-ups into it to repair it. I got my VXL not long ago and it was really annoying me breaking all the time but now that it's got a fair few hop ups into it, I don't think it's going to be breaking anytime soon. I took it to the skate park yesterday and came home without breaking anything. I was shocked!
Once you've done a few hop ups to them, they are a very tuff truck. :thumb:
Maaate... 6.5T is fairly overkill for these machines...
I ran a 10.5T and just could not keep it straight... even tried to loosen the clutch to release some pressure. Donut kings..
If it is one of the slightly older versions, you may need to replace one of the gears inside the gearbox to the steel version.. VXL comes standard with this piece. I destroyed mine with a 16T brushed motor.
Don't forget to recalculate your gearing... don't want to burn up that new motor... mate of mine did that just the other week... soo hot it melted the solder inside the motor and shorted...
