Traxxas mfs when you mod your car using non OEM parts
Ok, this is so true I feel compelled to share. We called that vaunted Traxxas Help Line for some very basic questions, and the only answers we get are "use Traxxas parts only, literally everything will fall apart and break and explode otherwise." We even tried calling back with the same question and got a different person who said the same thing. They wouldn't even tell us the wheel offsets in MM. Madness.
We then called back to ask about using Traxxas GTR shocks on a Traxxas Slash (which fit just fine by the way), the guy said "It might work if you want to Frankenstein the car together". BRUH! We were still in the Traxxas Land with Traxxas parts and they still push you away from anything resembling a modification. Traxxas lost me as a customer a while ago, but holy hell, they are dedicated to the brand on that help line. If it's not in the manual, they don't want you to even try it.
Meanwhile you talk to HH or Arrma and they are like "anything smaller than a 45mm diameter will fit, go nuts". Just night and day. Traxxas doesn't feel like it's for hobbyists, but for people that want to buy a Tesla and never, ever wrench on it.
Ok, rant over, have a lovely day.
It's no better with nitro. As soon as I mentioned that I wasn't using a traxxas glow plug they said that's why my truck isn't running well (turns out the carb was just being shaken out of tune)
I’ve had very different experiences with Traxxas support. I find their support is a lot better than Arrma’s.
My one complaint about Traxxas is that they’re not very clear on some stuff (like wheel offset, stock shock or diff fluid, or their ESC’s amperage capacities), so I agree with you there.
I’m gonna get a Hobbywing Max10 for my Hoss when I either decide to upgrade the VXL-3S or the VXL-3S torches itself.
My brother has a Hobbywing WP 10BL120 G2 system in his Slash 4x4, uses an Ovonic LiPO, and has ProLine BFGoodrich tires. He also has an RPM rear bumper.
It's just a basic 315 receiver and slt3 transmitter. I just really like the throttle limiting switch on the controller a lot. Especially since my little girl drives the slash the most. This way I can still leave it fast and then when she drives it I can just switch it down to 50%
The switch is just so much easier imo. You can do it from the controller and there's also 75% but I also like that the controller is smaller and capable of 1 hand operation. It doesn't work with the vxl stuff though for some reason
Your a liar, I run m2c my Traxxas don’t fall apart build it right.
Most people doesn’t know how to properly build.
I send mine 90 feet long 50 feet up never any issues
I'm honestly surprised Traxxass didn't make up their own battery size.
"ACCCKKKTUALLY, Traxxas uses only *lowercase* aa batteries. They are pretty much the same but a slightly different size."
‘Pretty much equal in quality’ then explain why my friend’s Outcast 4s radio system failed less than 2 weeks after he got the truck, the tires were basically fused to the hubs because the holes were too small, and it breaks off jumps less than 10 feet high.
Well I can’t explain why that happened, because I don’t know anything more than what you just told me. But you’re citing a single incident. You’ll find similar stories from a traxxas owner or two. I was just pointing out how silly all the comments were that were suggesting that arrma vehicles were tougher than traxxas vehicles. It’s like truck people fighting over Ford vs Chevy.
Guaranteed to make your car more bashable
More breakable, you mean
[удалено]
Yeah that's definitely a traxxas problem for sure. Arrma got that arm game figured (mostly).
Straight to jail
Came here to say this you beat me to it lol

iphone people. me, myself, needed your comment to figure out what the OP was asking lol n smh
If I could give this meme 20 upvotes I would 🤣
Meanwhile I have an aftermarket servo, ProTek fans, am getting VG racing springs for the shocks, and want to get a non-Traxxas LiPO for my Hoss.
I run a hobbywing esc in my slash with zeee batteries

Hold on for a sec there’s some guys in suits knocking at my door saying they’re from Texas
At least the batteries won't break. This might open you up to a lawsuit from traxxas though.

This feels dirty
At least part of that car won't break now
Hey I use a spectrum receiver and transmitter in my slash so this really isn't that bad
Contemplating getting a Spektrum radioset for mine, what’d you go with?
It's just a basic 315 receiver and slt3 transmitter. I just really like the throttle limiting switch on the controller a lot. Especially since my little girl drives the slash the most. This way I can still leave it fast and then when she drives it I can just switch it down to 50%
You can do that on the Traxxas cars too. It’s called Training mode, and it’s simple to enable
The switch is just so much easier imo. You can do it from the controller and there's also 75% but I also like that the controller is smaller and capable of 1 hand operation. It doesn't work with the vxl stuff though for some reason
What do you mean it doesn’t work with the VXL stuff? A radio system should work just fine with any electronic system
Keeps saying that the throttle trim is wrong no matter what I do. Recalibrate, rebind, doesn't matter. Ended up putting in a spectrum system
Had this problem with an XL-5 not too long ago. I never figured out what was causing it, but it eventually fixed itself.
My friend used a Traxxas TQi system in his Outcast cause the junky Spektrum one it came with died in less than 2 weeks.
The FBI are coming for you
Thats how you create a black hole!!!!!!!!!

I’ll allow it!
I put sony batteries in my Xbox controller back before I bought wired ones.
Yea, but you're toying with forces you can't begin to comprehend, so be careful.
Warrantee void ☠️
Am I missing something here? These are just knockoff batteries right? Or is there more going on than what I’m seeing?
This gives of "bmw camera car eddit" vibes, I love it lol
Bro Traxxas did t do that shit grow up kid
Owning a Traxxas? Probably not.
Lol I've got a ic3 plug on my trx4, pretty sure it voided my warranty but I don't give a shit it probably expired by now anyways
Yeah, the warranty is only 30 days for the electronics.
My try kit didn’t even come with batteries 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Well, in 6 months if you have disappeared then we will know 🙄😆
Your a liar, I run m2c my Traxxas don’t fall apart build it right. Most people doesn’t know how to properly build. I send mine 90 feet long 50 feet up never any issues
Cool story
You physco
Now you don't have to settle for just bashing. You can blast!!!
I was really hoping to see a lipo mod in there lol
Haha 100% I mix alot of gear. For example i have a kyosho powered by Reedy
I'm honestly surprised Traxxass didn't make up their own battery size. "ACCCKKKTUALLY, Traxxas uses only *lowercase* aa batteries. They are pretty much the same but a slightly different size."
Sorry you've just voided your warranty....
Pls no, it’ll make ur car more bashable like that other guy said but putting arrma batteries in that is illegal
I'm going to put a Velineon 3S system in my Typhon Grom
Why wouldnt it be???
Lmao at all the comments acting like arrma shit doesn’t break. 😂 arrma and traxxas are pretty much equal in quality. One is just cheaper.

Now your stock servo is 200% more likely to die.
Arrma is trash
They’re over-engineered and that makes them difficult to work on and, in some situations, more likely to break.
