Is there a support group here somewhere?
 

I just went and bought a pair.....ummm....of....titans. :gasp:



There, I said it, its out in the open......

I bought my nephews 3905 (complete setup with a Novak 4.5/2.4 Futuba). He demagged the motor somehow, so I'm going to set it up as a wet weather truck with the stock crapola on it.
Talk about going backwards.

Shun the non-believer







:na:

Make sure everything is sealed up tight:yes:

I am speechless.

Oh....My.....God....someone call 911!!!!

Yeah, theres a support group. Its called the TRX forums; 10 minutes there and you will want to get out of the hobby!

:yes:

So true!:yes:

Don't run Lipos on stock esc and drop the gearing big time! Otherwise something will go up in smoke

Already dug out the nimh packs, and it's seriously low geared (about 23:1 right now, stock gearing is about 18:1). I'm sure I have some other gears laying around but couldn't find them.

I bet the titans were what? Like $30 each?

Nah, they were 19 something each.

We went out this afternoon, and I took my MMM/Neu-LESS Revo (with the Novak back in it) and the 3905. I spent most of the morning reconfiguring my A123's back into 2S packs so I could use them with the Novak. First pack, about 15 minutes in, I sheared something inside the tranny on the Revo. So I get out the 3905, and ran thru 1 and half nimh packs.....then I decided I'd have more fun just taking pictures.

Oh well, had to try it.

On a good note, it was the only truck to come home in working condition!!

Nice to know that the quality of traxxas' products is still shite. :yes:

Why not go for the banebot 550 motors at $5.50 each, or the keshaw motors to give the truck the power it deserves (albeit brushed)?

Anyway, glad you had fun- the weather here is far too horrid to do any driving.... :(

Wasnt much better here...at least it wasnt raining though.

RCM members shouldn't let other RCM members regress! I've got a HV 4.5 motor with no home here. I think it would like to be closer to the ocean. When I sold my HV Max setup I sold it as a 6.5 and kept the 4.5.
