Even on halfway decent 7.2v Mi-MH packs, they'll still destroy the standard trans internals and shatter the optional delrin top gear! I've shattered the derin top gear I put in 6 years ago, stripped 2 differentials housings, and even ripped the right rear stub axle in two

I'll try to get a few carnage pics and maybe some acceleration jpegs on my next day off!

Well I guess Traxxas can put power in their electrics now lol.

E-Vo is next...I bet

Yea, it's no wonder they've started putting all steel gears in the Velineon trucks!

um kay

Drugs are bad, mmmkay.

Got some pics and vids of it today!
Here's all three of the trucks dead diffs and shattered delrin gear. The one in the back was the one I killed late in '01 while running where the StC IHOP now sits, The one on the left is the first one the truck killed and had been installed after killing the original in '01. The black one was the OE one for my Bandit that was swapped out when I did the same rebuild later on that trans. The three small greasy pieces are what's left of the delrin top gear.


Now here's the 1 minute vid of it with the wheelie bar set low

And here's another 1 minute vid with the same bar set high



Maybe the next body should be a modernized "Hemi Under Glass" clonealute:

personally joe im more amazed you keep broken parts that are over 5 years old!

So was I, I figured that diff was long gone. I killed the OE idler at the same time and I have no clue where that went.
