Traxxas (fixing the motor)

Fixed the motor and also got a new transmission on it.
Top speed then: about 32+mph
Top speed now: about 35+mph

Both of these top speeds are on a full conditioned battery and with a lot of wheel spin on the first (more acceleration)than the newly repaired Traxxas (less acceleration because a faster speed)

Unfortunately a Traxxas can't get both customs on it so I chose the high end upgrade. (Means faster speed less acceleration)

We did make one mistake at first but we eventually figured out what was wrong with the transmission. It was Slipping! So the tightened up something and he said he knew what it really was. So we did save 30$ and now it's even better than HO-B-MAX could ever do! I ran yesterday and used all 4 batteries on it and the day before that I only ran two of them. So I pretty much did a good break in on the new Traxxas 12T 550 motor. The acceleration is OK for what I really do with it. That is really only go on my neighborhood main street.

So I keep telling Ster that I really want the Orange Boss 302 for either Christmas or for something else. I want the one that goes 45+mph! We took it to the beach and we haven't driven it yet but charged the battery. We will also drive my Ridemakerz around too but we'll have to charge the battery up though.
