yeah 200mm. its pretty much impossible to find a 190mm nitro. those are all electric.



i want a 3.3 sooo bad! but just dont have the cash for it. i had to pull the 2.5 out of my rc10gt and put it in my tmaxx cuz im running short on motors now days. so i want to 3.3 swap the tmaxx and put the 2.5 back in the rc10. but as of right now, i cant even afford to get the 30 bucks worth of new electronics for the maxx so i can drive it. so a new motor is totally out of the question.



again, 2.5R.

If it was water proof that would be nice. i ended up frying all the electronics on the revo, and the reciever and venom fail safe on my tmaxx. wasnt very fun cleaning them either! lol needless to say. ive never done it again. although i did water proof my maxx and was driving it threw some deep *** clean water one day untill i found a hole that i didnt know was there. i watched my maxx sink, the motor boil, and then stall out. siezed that motor up! haha, which is why im a motor short now days and the rc10 is out of commission.

Im keeping my trucks dry from now on. they get a hard enough beating as it is on dry ground.

as for bulk heads. i use to buy bulk heads online buy the dozen about every 2 weeks. i broke a set almost every time i drove my truck, it was a never ending battle. Integy is the worst brand in the world. stock is stonger. i won about 200 bucks worth of integy stuff for the revo, and thought well it looks cool ill put it on. i broke a push rod in litterally 30 seconds. the only thing that held up was the servo gaurds. that **** is junk.

but i got smart and went UE (unlimited engineering). i think i paid nearly 200 bucks for my bulk heads, but they are the best money can buy. havnt even came close to bending them yet, and have been running them for over a year with no troubles. solid titanium. these things are the ****. only think i break now days are bending the titanium screws, skid plates (gonna custom make some out of diamond plate so i wont have that problem any more) and i chew threw differential gears quite often too. but other wise my truck is solid. it takes regular beatings of trees, cars, fences, fire hydrants, monster jumps, curbs, you name it, its done it.
You run your RC's the right way..into the ground! My Micro Park Fighter constantly runs into the ground(its a great 2Ch park flyer lol) my Nitro Pede has seen better days, MLST2 is hard to break except the crappy servos. Slash is very hard to break except the hub.
