I've enjoyed using it and it takes very good video. I usually shoot in 1080 which keeps the files sizes reasonable. It's not the best in low light like most action cameras. Thanks for the comment.

@@LukesVintageRC Happy New Year! Seems like a lot of the small scale cars have this issue. I'll post a solution if I can find one.

Thanks man! Yeah..that DeeRC is a cheapie but it keeps on trucking. Haven't sorted out the Teton...probably going to have to buy a new servo.

@arkyrc make sure its metal gear.

@gamedogrc Definitely!

The SCT's are all 1:10 scale. Teko's mostly... 410.3 and the SL.

Thanks Addam! Merry Christmas as well! Have a great new year as well. :)

I'd say there's a good chance that this is your issue. I ended up shimming the pinion after this happened again and this seemed to help. You might try this and see if it helps. Good thing is that these are pretty cheap and easy to change out.

@arkyrc 100% thats what it was. Totally just ground to dust. I ended up buying a couple extra pinions incase this happens again. Does the shim go on out side between diff case and drive cup? Or on inside between pinion and bearing?

@@SteveNavarro-qc3vl I placed the shim between the diff pinion and the bearing. This created more contact between it the ring gear. It even sounds different after installing the shim. I used a traxxas teflon spacer and it seems to be the correct thickness that I needed. You just don't want it too tight. The link below is to another video I did after I installed the shim. It might help.... Unfortunately I didn't record the installation of the shim when I repaired it trackside! Good luck and Merry Christmas! ruclips.net/video/GTyNyEY1k10/видео.html

@arkyrc Merry Christmas to you too brother! And thank you for the help🙏

No..just 2S. It would be crazy on 3S. On 2s I can't keep it on all 4 on our carpet track. :)

I would think that an E-Bike battery would be built similar but would have way more than two cells and operate at a much higher voltage. If it were me I'd not mess with one of those just to be safe.

I do "race" mine from time to time just for the fun of it. I have seen its design limitations. Great cars, but they are what they are. I just enjoy running it and have already spent more on it that I should have.. 🤣 Have a Merry Christmas!

@arkyrc I'm going to spend some money on mine just for my personal enjoyment and find a good balance of the power and handling of the car you don't have to be the fastest guy just be consistent and you will win races 😎👍

@@Strider1122 I love it! The point of RC is to have fun and it sounds like you definitely are having fun.. I was fortunate enough to have a Grasshopper as a kid so for me the Grasshopper brings back that RC nostalgia from the 80's. The Grasshopper is so fun to play around with. It's one of my favorite RC's. When I got back into RC a few years ago I was surprised to see that you could still buy them. Thanks for subscribing...I greatly appreciate it. Have a Merry Christmas!!

I bought another battery for it before I did this. Now I have three! That's ok...I can use them in other cars. :)

@@crowbot4023 I don't have and won't buy any Traxxas batteries. 🤣 They would probably sue me anyway!! 🤣

Thanks! She really drives well too!

I still have my PRO-X Team Version from like ’94. Your rc reminds me of that one. Watching your video makes me want to get that old rc working again. It’s still in great shape.

@@SirSavesALot1977 Appreciate your comment. The Pro-X is a great RC worthy of restoration. Hopefully parts are out there. Good luck with it! :)

@@abullock1995 I hope so...really enjoy running it.

Thanks so much!

@@Animal_6976 Really? I'll have to check those out.

@arkyrc yeah after that swap ya won't ever have to replace another rear axle in it again. They fit the slash and stampede also.

@@IowaBudgetRCBashers Happy Thanksgiving!

@@AddamsPlayground Thanks Adam. No venison on the menu today, but we eat alot of it. 😁

You'll enjoy it! Plastics on a true vintage one may be a little brittle. Cheap e-bay for parts...should be plenty on there.

You broke the transmission? Wow! No problem ..they are easy and cheap to repair. Have fun with it!

I replaced all the white bushings with bearings. The gearbox and the front wheels. Makes a big difference.

@arkyrc have you got a vid on this me and my brother are trying to get into this hobby !! Ps thanks for replying

@@berwynrogers1450 No video on installing the bearings. When you build the kit it will be pretty obvious where the bearings go. Fast Eddy Bearing sells them all together. The Grasshopper was my first hobby grade RC car back in the 80's. They are perfect for learning on. Welcome to the hobby!

@@AddamsPlayground Thanks Adam. I drove it earlier this week at the track. I did break a front hub, but other than that I was impressed with it. I just need to learn how to drive it!! Way different than racing on dirt.

Still on the original stock one! It's showing some wear but has a lot of life left in it.

@@TheMxrider25 yep...just installed a 19T for more speed.

@@GearWorksRc I was surprised how well it ran after making a few adjustments. I still think there is room for improvement with it but unfortunately the rear mounted motor limits it. It took a beating out there for sure. Both king pins were badly bent...I didn't realize this until I got home. Looking forward to running it again. I'm also going to try out a Yokomo Touring Car on the track...should be fun!!

@@logansearing Short course is so much fun and much cheaper than almost any other class. Thanks for watching!

For sure!

@@AddamsPlayground I have used several screws since making the video. No issues so far. Quality seems very good.

They look nice! Glad to hear they fit your protek drivers well.

You really need to quit screwing around though. Lets go racing!

@@abullock1995 Soon! LOL!

@@abullock1995 looking forward to doing some more racing.

What mods that thing got

@@beta5033 RPM gearbox which allows for rear toe in. This really helps the car hook up. A hobbywing sensorless esc/motor combo (4000kv), and adjustable camber links....that's it. Gearbox internals are all stock. Oh, I recently swapped out the front bulkhead to an aluminum one I had laying around just for a little added weight in the front. This is probably not needed though but it does look cool. Thinking about trying out aluminum front hubs. Im always bending the kingpins...thinking the aluminum ones may help prevent that. I'm not a huge fan of aluminum parts though..these cars need to flex some to prevent breakage. This is probably all I'll do with upgrades. It's a Rustler and it doesn't make sense to overspend on it. It is such a fun RC though...one of my favorites!!

They are so underrated!

Yeah..that's an issue with these cars. It's still fun! :)

@@AddamsPlayground Very surprised by it for sure.

@@logansearing It's awesome to have an indoor track in our area. I'm really looking forward to racing on this track. The track atmosphere is very laid back. Should be a lot of fun.

@@arkyrc i definitely agree for sure!

@@vincentcimino1963 These are very easy to fly and very durable. Once you get them in the air they are hard to crash in training mode. Landing isn't difficult. Ive had a few rough landings...so far i've only broken the propeller. You'll enjoy it for sure.

It handled and jumped like a dream! Thanks!

Thanks! It turned out nice.
