Well I guess that broken bumper wasn't the only damage done yesterday, the ****ing esc is fried once again........................... I'm about ready to just file this pile of **** under G for garbage.

Get a cheap one for 1/10th scale. It'll be larger but better handle that little 360 motor. You can find a Traxxas XL-5 for about $10.

LOl slick I am NOT putting that on my little girl r/c

the ruckus esc isnt a esc/rx combo yes? you would have to upgrade the controller then, or get something that binds to it.

kids bowie was like that, I got a bullet proof AE esc and had to go external rx and new tx.

[J57ltr]

Crap I forgot about those 18th's having a combo ESC/RX.

Ruckus has an aio esc/rx. I am looking through the threads on some of the RC forums to see what others have done.

1/10th will fit.

Brushless upgrade? http://www.hobbypartz.com/hobbywing-...ess-combo.html

If the ruckus has its own receiver the. Go for it, stick with the 5200Kv, if you decide to go 3S later then it'll work a little better with less current draw compared to the 7XXX Kv. Go with the 25A one. Sometimes the EZ runs are hit and miss.

Still a funny name. LOL

That temp gun looks just like a harbor freight one I have, I think it was less than $10 if you want to save a little.

Jeff

[Slick2500]

Oh **** I never even thought of getting one there.

They don't have it listed on the website that I could find right now, but I have one in my little tool bag for work and it has the measure and mode button. I know I saw them last time I went, they are gray and on the isle with all the measuring tools, levels, micrometers and the like. Look at Slick only wanting a 1/18th and then flippin' the script on us and going whole hogg on a Monster GT!

why is the gt 417 and not 399?

also if you own hand tools, no need for the nut wrench

Tis a bundle with 12 AAA batteries, a fuel bottle and a glow starter.

ya I just saw it in the catalog that came in the mail today, ultimate combo, I lol'd when I read it

[Slick2500]

Well if I bought those items separately it would cost more.
And I am pretty sure I opted for a catalogue but I have not seen it yet.

[J57ltr]

Don't worry it will show up just before you get the item and one in with the item and then about every 30 minutes after that like a J.C. Whitney catalog.
