    I have the same trouble with speed runs. My steering control system is really fast and it's just too easy to oversteer and then crash. OH well, we just have to keep on going, no matter the cost$$$$.

    Hey bro, i think you need tow hands to control the slash and put less steering travel.

    highly recommend using mip axles, yes they are expensive but they work great!

    • @RCKnockout
      @RCKnockout  3 года назад

      The concern I have is that even those could possibly break. The stub axle pin hole is the point where it always breaks. It all has to do with the way the 17mm adapters attach. You have to tighten down the hex screw all the way down so it tightens right up against the pin. That’s why they’re all failing. I’ve tried loosening them a bit to lessen the stress in that particular area but I can’t loose it very much at all. Otherwise the pin could fall out. That’s why I’d probably try to go back to the stock 12mm hexes and try to find some larger tires hopefully with 12mm hexes

    Get rid of those shafts and make it an XO-Slash. I couldn't be happier with the XO-1 CV conversion for my 4X4 Stampede. Besides it's rated for the higher speeds anyway. Now if I can get the thing to stay bound to the Traxxas Link app that would be an accomplishment!!! 😂🤣😂

  • @andyjonathan2486
    @andyjonathan2486 3 года назад

    Awesome effort! Keep it up. Those double U-joint axles aren’t very well balanced or suited for high speeds. As others mentioned MIP axles would be a better choice. Also, before I go on high speed runs, I’ll run the car on a stand at my bench at 100% throttle with the wheels off and check to see if I have any bad driveline vibrations.
    Good luck!

    Can you not find a large parking lot or something? That way when you spin out, you can just release the throttle and let it slowly come to a stop. When I used to fly rc airplanes, i would use the local college football stadium parking lot which had tons of paved space. Maybe a large church parking lot as well. Also I have concerns with using a GPS to track speed. I've seen too many times when GPSs give an incorrect speed because the signal jumped. I'm thinking either a timed and known distance so you can calculate speed or maybe a speed radar gun.
