If you run a brushless geared to low it will run hot as well. You also have a big tire.

smaller tires? lol, i got a solution! sell ur esc to me adn buy a bigger better system! lol, j/p. Try out different gears till ya feel comfortable with its performance. But 15 bux a gear will kinda be a money pit! i suggest resaeaching th best poissible teeth!

Actually now that you mentioned it.. the guys at trilordy zip tied an airplane on top of the maxx.. and had pretty good lift.. hahaha... They have a video of it too.. I forgot the name of the vid..

I like the stock max tires..... and the 40 series...

the big 6.5, 7, 8 inch tires are really hard on the diffs... and Tranny... I killed one of my Supermaxx gears using the 7" hotbodies wheels... since then, I just stuck to my regular maxx tires...

Maybe my M/T being 20+ lbs didn't help.. :)

I dont like the look of those 6.5" and taller tires. They just look too big. The biggest I'm going is 40 Series Dirt Hawgs at most. 6" is plenty of tire for me.

Looks like I'll be ordering a Strobe slipper and a 14,15T pinion along with it.

is this the movie? This was almost too painful to watch.

Damn. Them guys are nuts. Absolutely 100% nuts. Really funny to watch though.

It doesn't work for me. I got the dirt hawgs. I kind of like them for all around bashing and running.

the 40 series seems to be best... I like them.... .I really like the mashers... They're grippy as H*LL...

Dang, that's a gigantic vid at 76 meg, luckily my cable modem is cranking out 450k/sec. It's taking a while though, of course, for me a while is more than a minute! 3 minutes later, I got a giant vid to watch.....

Ha! Another great Trilordy vid, those guys are certified idiots! :D

That's the reason people should be screened before they buy a RC car..

WOW.... Y GOD!! Y!!?!?!?! Y DO U GIVE UR MOST PRECIOUS GIFT OF RC TO THOSE THAT DEFACE ITS BEAUTTY!!! GIVE IT TO ME INSTEAD!!! lol

I love their video's. Simply because they do some of the stuff no-one else is stupid enough to do. Very amusing to watch, and brilliant as an example of what to not do to an RC car :)

did you guys see the one where they drove off the roof of a building.. or T-maxx vs an old computer monitor... now that's NUTS....

Ever see www.slapmafro.com ? They do some stupid junk too, but I haven't been there in a while so I don't know if they have any new vids.
