Title: fast traxx alternative
Post by: scorcher on January 16, 2010, 16:48:28
a little while ago my bro gived me his fast traxx so last week i used it out my back and the traxx had come off a few times and then snaped and when they had snaped i had noticed there where big cracks on the gear box so here what i had done to it in stead of just looking at me in the corner not being able to unleash the beasty twin motors so i glued the traxx around the wheels which will mean that its gonna loose lots of grip  :-[

you can fix that plastic, when i was restoring muscle ccar consoles if the plastic base was broken i would take soldering iron 100amp and use it to mend the plastic back together ive used it on other hi stressed things too, accorse the consoles i did from the inside so you wouldnt see the repair but you can stil work nthat plastic where the repair isnt noticeable.


as for that remote if bandit dont take it and come to find out my black truck is 27 instead of 49 put me in line plz

its been raining the past 2 days so aint been able to try it out side yet but ive used it in the house and it looks like if it drifts more than turn  unless u go up n down which is pretty fun still does 360s not as good tho ill get that exact price on delivery on the controller tomorrow we will work the rest out then mate and bandit would be fast if u get the gearing in side from the bandit and the twin motor box from the fast traxx i bet it be pretty impressive
