Great little RC. I have two now. One stock for my boy and a modified brushless version with an all steel Hot Racing drive train. That thing goes from 0 to beastmode on 2S. After getting back into RC after years, I love the fact that with 1/18 scale, you can pretty much RC out of a rucksack.
I had a spare losi mini 8ight brushless system and I threw on my teton! The car definitely woke up. At the moment I'm running the stock battery, but will upgrade to lipo.
I got one for my son. He was ready for a hobby grade one. I love it, it's very fast and I am getting one for my fleet. I can only imagine what brushless will look like.
I have the teton and I have a goolrc 5800kv brushless with a goolrc esc in it. and it is pretty much the perfect speed now for me. it goes much faster at full throttle than it can handle doing anything but going in a straight line, which to me is fun because if I want to fly I can, if not I just let off the gas a little. this little truck will surprise you by how much abuse it can take though.
I agree with you. I upgraded to brushless 5800kv, aluminum drive axles, 54 tooth spur gear. handling is incredible. I just wish I could get a metal spur gear. MY son and are learning the jumps, flips and other tricks. The spur gears and shocks don't last.
I can’t agree more love LaTrax have my Traxxas cars and trucks. But the teton and really are so much fun. And yes upgrading is to as far as you want to take it. And oh did I take all the way. Every part, really everything except the wheels. Frame up all metal, to the custom body witch I like to contact you about something one we can come up with a perfect body for it. It’s a show peace. Yes I took a 135.00 dollar teton to the extreme. In all about $800.00, I was set out for it but went fast then expected to get the parts. If I known that i could of just built it without buying one and upgrading lol. But I’m going to take the parts I upgraded witch is everything. And rebuild the truck with the original parts and have 2 one for pure fun. 😊😊
Nice GIO I just got off the phone with Traxxas. Finally have the shock rebuild kits available next week. No word yet on hopups. Very cool of Traxxas to send me a rebuild kit and a 20 dollar credit for my inconvenience. Looks GIO with the kalahari wheels and tires!
I like it not every one has the money the space or the inclination for a whopping 1/5 1/6 or even a 1/8 chassis. Size doesnt promice quality small doesnt mean garbage. Had an Xmods Celica and that was awesome sat in my living room on a rainy day its all a matter of perspective and budget
Nice man. I think Traxxas or (latrax) is trying to make a fun little car that is affordable for a lot of people with the Traxxas name. Looks like fun. Good product
I'm loving my Teton. Bought it to get back in to RC after years. I've upgraded the shocks to the LaTrax GTR set. The originals were pretty weak and had different tensions. I'm wondering how to get a bit more performance out of it though. Go 2s Lipo? It has metal diffs but I don't want to kill it...
Ian Wilson I'd get a castle creation mamba mini X for some good performance but there like $90 and spend like $25 on a better battery then bigger spur and pinion
Plastic driveshafts twist and broke in a week so I replaced with aluminum $15 then rear diff stripped so I replaced with aluminum spool diff $12. Can't see myself doing much more as aluminum shocks are $50 and carbon fiber chassis is $70 not counting the 11 new aluminum parts from boom racing.
Its been a super fun car. I have a very upgraded Stampede and now find my self playing more with the Teton. Do to it's size it makes boring terrain for my stampede challenging and enjoyable. My Teton is stock for now and I have yet to break a thing. The only complaint I have it that the steering continuously needs its trim adjusted. One second its pulling to the right then the next its to the left. Let me now if you have a solution for that... Other question is if any one can help me find paddle tires for it. The many reason we bought these small RC's is to have races on the beach through the sand courses we make at the lake.
The servo centers well. Make sure the servo saver and all links are clean and lubricated. The servo saver spring is weak so any little friction will stop it from returning to exact center position. You could also increase the spring pressure by shimming but you risk hurting the stock servo. I have two Tetons - lots of fun to drive in little spaces!
me me I don't really understand, do you mean you removed the stock servo saver? In that case just look around for original parts or upgrades. If you run a metal gear servo you could perhaps glue the stock saver solid and have no flex at all except the plastic.
I like it so far I'm just concerned with the motor temp not really sure how hot it's supposed to get - just using the stock battery - how hot is to hot? Do I need a heatsink and if so where can I find one for such a small motor?
The wheels and tires from the 1/16 slash fit the Teton as well. I swapped mine from the Slash on today just to mess around. They have twice the grip of the stock tires. Slightly less mass to rotate as well. I was able to slide the back end out a tad at full speed during turns. It didn't just spin out. I recommend looking into it.
Matthew Fant any wheel that is a 12mm hex hub will fit the teton. You just have to make sure not to buy ones that are too heavy or big. Mine were from my 1/16 slash I have. Just a spur of the moment idea. My slash used to be a 550 titan brushed. Now it's a Castle Sidewinder v3 4600kv 540 size brushless. It has worn my stock tires down fast lol. You can buy a set of 2 wheels and tires pre mounted from Integy just look on the website. It's $5.25 per pair so they're very affordable
One of the few who was raised right by his Mom. I dont get in the dog house. Lol no for real she turns 29 on the 30 of this month and I know she wants an rc.... so im loooking
I in love with this truck but I I am worried because it does not seem too popular my hobby store has the truck for $160s witch is a rip off. I am not a big fan of ordering online but I found it at RC planet for 140s. I need to get a truck with a battery and charger. This looks like a nice truck.
I think the price is a bit much but I have one and so far the front shock Did break and the suspension arm broke I'm getting custom aluminums and the motor burnt out because I really abused it but I love this truck I put in a crawler motor until I get my Mamba Micro Pro I have the orange color but this truck is sweet if it was $100 it would make it even better
You don't even got to get the RC Screw kit. Just need two packages of 2x8 and one package of 2x16. Half the price of the whole kit. covers every one of them :) I just got my own. Way stocked.. love this thing.... But the aluminum drive shafts are still no where to be found unfortunately...
GIOSTEALTHR1 I'm looking for bigger wheels and tires for mine without cutting anything can't seem to get any information I like these in the video were they separate or tires and wheels together?
Wow, I was trying to be helpful and let you know it's pronounced Teetohn when I realized this video is 6 1/2 years old. Way to put current content in my suggested videos on Roku, RUclips! Sheesh... Guess I won't try to get a thread on the different Latrax flavors in this comment section. Hold on. Apparently the space shuttle just exploded on takeoff, according to the breaking news YT just fed me! 🤔 😉😁🤣👍😎
no I do not recommend this for kids cost to much for kids and you can get other brand that is just as good or even better. specially when your trying to get into RC to pricey. try out wltoys a959 so cheap and it's upgradable to a 540 motor. or fully upgrade to aluminum parts even then chassis. great RC for its price.
Worst rc iv ever owend. It break so often iv spent more time fixing it that running it. Iv spent almost 75$ so far on repairs and its broken right now. Im not planning to fix it this time. Ill just run my imortal slash.
I got one for my son. He was ready for a hobby grade one. I love it, it's very fast and I am getting one for my fleet. I can only imagine what brushless will look like.

Dude, the Latrax Teton is named after the Teton Mountains and pronounced with a long E sound like eat or meet. If you care.
I had a spare losi mini 8ight brushless system and I threw on my teton! The car definitely woke up. At the moment I'm running the stock battery, but will upgrade to lipo.

i agree
I have three of these rc’s. One, I completely built with aluminum parts including the aluminum chassis. It is heavier than original model for sure!
Nice man. I think Traxxas or (latrax) is trying to make a fun little car that is affordable for a lot of people with the Traxxas name. Looks like fun. Good product
what website are you finding all of these hopup parts?

WHERE DID YOU GET ALUMINUM DRIVESHAFTS FOR $15!!!!! WHERE!!!
can't wait to see the final product. Knowing you, you got something planned for this one. Lol
Where are the wheels from and/ or what are they called
Another Customization On The way!!! Waiting for the Re/Evolution on it!!! This is gone get great(as usual)!!!
thanks
Does the motor burn out easy. Its looks like its a very koool truck.
Its been a super fun car. I have a very upgraded Stampede and now find my self playing more with the Teton. Do to it's size it makes boring terrain for my stampede challenging and enjoyable. My Teton is stock for now and I have yet to break a thing.

Mini SAVOX servo
The servo centers well. Make sure the servo saver and all links are clean and lubricated. The servo saver spring is weak so any little friction will stop it from returning to exact center position. You could also increase the spring pressure by shimming but you risk hurting the stock servo. I have two Tetons - lots of fun to drive in little spaces!
Kristoffer Rydquist sterling silver went out does not have a Servo saver where do you get one
me me I don't really understand, do you mean you removed the stock servo saver? In that case just look around for original parts or upgrades. If you run a metal gear servo you could perhaps glue the stock saver solid and have no flex at all except the plastic.
Can you put any bigger tires than the ones on the video on a LaTrax 1/18 4x4 ??
I like it so far I'm just concerned with the motor temp not really sure how hot it's supposed to get - just using the stock battery - how hot is to hot? Do I need a heatsink and if so where can I find one for such a small motor?
Integy
Integy what? that means nothing to me - sorry not an expert
The name of the company is Integy
Look up 1/16 scale heat sinks
I found this but how do I supply power to it? Do i get a separate battery pack? www.integy.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=7687&p_catid=257&ratesortby=New
There should be another channel open on the receiver. If not then go to radioshak and get a 9v battery plus a 9v battery box.
Nice one! I might have to look into those wheels... Where did you get them from?
Vaterra kalahari wheels
Nice wheel upgrade! and fast little truck too! I love mine!
The wheels and tires from the 1/16 slash fit the Teton as well. I swapped mine from the Slash on today just to mess around. They have twice the grip of the stock tires. Slightly less mass to rotate as well. I was able to slide the back end out a tad at full speed during turns. It didn't just spin out. I recommend looking into it.
Michael Bruns Thank you, looking right now!
Matthew Fant any wheel that is a 12mm hex hub will fit the teton. You just have to make sure not to buy ones that are too heavy or big. Mine were from my 1/16 slash I have.

Any news on the body upgrade?
Does iT fit with de original little screws?
Do you know of any good drift tires I can put on my LaTrax Teton?
Yeah I would be happy for some recommended drift tires too! :)
Any 1/10 drift tires with 12mm hexes
ˈtē-ˌtän, like that range of mountains up at Jackson Hole. BTW, good vids..
I almost bought this rc for my wife. What you think of it?
You should it get you out of the dog house if yor in it.:P lol :)
One of the few who was raised right by his Mom. I dont get in the dog house. Lol no for real she turns 29 on the 30 of this month and I know she wants an rc.... so im loooking
Yes you should I think she;d like it :)
Can you use traxxas parts to upgrade the Teton like 1/16 parts?
you think you'd be able to bash this in the snow , without any problems?
I in love with this truck but I I am worried because it does not seem too popular my hobby store has the truck for $160s witch is a rip off. I am not a big fan of ordering online but I found it at RC planet for 140s. I need to get a truck with a battery and charger. This looks like a nice truck.
Can you do a video on how it looks when you have done :-) plz???
I think the price is a bit much but I have one and so far the front shock Did break and the suspension arm broke I'm getting custom aluminums and the motor burnt out because I really abused it but I love this truck I put in a crawler motor until I get my Mamba Micro Pro I have the orange color but this truck is sweet if it was $100 it would make it even better
Would this be a good starter for my bout to be 7yr old nephew and
middle nephew and soon to be little cousin
Go on. Perfect Car
what kind of steering servo and Servo saver should I get
Please check out my yeti Junior video
I didn't even get to run one battery and it went out steering servo
You don't even got to get the RC Screw kit. Just need two packages of 2x8 and one package of 2x16. Half the price of the whole kit. covers every one of them :) I just got my own. Way stocked.. love this thing.... But the aluminum drive shafts are still no where to be found unfortunately...
what are those wheels and where did you get them from. (need them)
Its good rc . It is cheap . The diffs don't last under 3s brushless system.
Where can I buy the tires and wheels set?
This is so nice
can you get aluminum driveshafts for it if yes what brand
La Trax own aluminium or Hot Racing steel CVDs.
Hey can you tell me what you have done to this car scince the video
+Jase Ramella really nothing... I have been working on other projects
How i found that wheels?
show us your vids with the upgraded brushlses motor
2 weeks
Will convert my rally parts to carbon and alloy
I heard Dromida alum parts fit too.
What are thos wheels and tires
What kind of tires do you have on your Teton
Not sure .... Maybe from another RC company
i found out the wheels after some research! they are Vaterra VTR41001 wheels .
+GIOSTEALTHR1
Brushless motor destroyed it didn't it?
where do u get your parts for the teton
Where's your 1/5 scale Gio and where's hotness/busted ??
a bad deal happened - still trying for the 5th scale
traveling alot
havent been able to finish hotness - busted yet
what happened to going brushless
Money went to a lot of other projects
GIOSTEALTHR1 can you please tell me the link to where you got those tires. Those would be perfect for my SST.
I got it for $119.99
Amazon?
I got the rally and the teton heavy mods. Couldn't overlook the Lexus comment, It's more like latrax is to traxxas as Geo was to Chevy hahaha
I was thinking scion to Toyota
Are they Vaterra kalahari wheels and tires
Great eyes
were do you get your teton parts
on latrax website
What type of wheels are those
Imex
GIOSTEALTHR1 I'm looking for bigger wheels and tires for mine without cutting anything can't seem to get any information I like these in the video were they separate or tires and wheels together?
Id say it's like scion is to Toyota
How much does it cost
you can get it for around 130
I am looking for 2065 metal gears dose anyone know where I can find them and can 2072 and or 2464 servo gears fit in a 2065 servo
Look at my axial yeti JR video
Teet-on
Missing a body clip there
I do to
Wow, I was trying to be helpful and let you know it's pronounced Teetohn when I realized this video is 6 1/2 years old. Way to put current content in my suggested videos on Roku, RUclips! Sheesh... Guess I won't try to get a thread on the different Latrax flavors in this comment section. Hold on. Apparently the space shuttle just exploded on takeoff, according to the breaking news YT just fed me! 🤔 😉😁🤣👍😎
Nice but too small for me bro!
*****
Tell me about it!
*****
I think its cool for a kid but not a grown man who has grown man cars already.
*****
Naw i'll pass!
I say it tee-ton 😂😂
Actually I paid 109.99 for mine
Nice video man, I don't think it's that good of price unless the car is lifetime warranty.
no I do not recommend this for kids cost to much for kids and you can get other brand that is just as good or even better. specially when your trying to get into RC to pricey. try out wltoys a959 so cheap and it's upgradable to a 540 motor. or fully upgrade to aluminum parts even then chassis. great RC for its price.
You use iMovie don't you :-) lol
I got it for 90$ at best buy
No way
giostealthr1 wanna buy a mint ps vita?
i own 2 with 2 ps4s
흠..jsk sjsj
I thought the 1/16 was small enough and now they come with this garbage. So tired of the mini micro series. Traxxas dropping the ball once again .
i have to disagree. i thought the same thing but this is pretty awesome
first comment haha!
Worst rc iv ever owend. It break so often iv spent more time fixing it that running it. Iv spent almost 75$ so far on repairs and its broken right now. Im not planning to fix it this time. Ill just run my imortal slash.
Lol if only they made rpm for it
They make great cheap aluminum parts for this little truck
I might update this RC
Traxxas minis are terrible so I wonder what that will be like. NOT
This teton is really nice.
I wondered that as well.
I was really surprised
This guy like to hear if self-talk that's all it was must be a Salesman
I got one for my son. He was ready for a hobby grade one. I love it, it's very fast and I am getting one for my fleet. I can only imagine what brushless will look like.
great rc to have in the fleet
