    32 pitch gears in Amp?

    It'll fit. Think it should clear up to 58t. Definitely fits 56. I've got 56 on one, 54 on another.

    Still here, still lurking.

    I just run some metal traxxas slash 4x4 rear shafts on my 2 ecxs. Either gotta run new metal hexes or drill out the smaller diameter outside half of the stock hexes to match the larger inside diameter so its the same diameter the entire width.

    can't remove drivetrain screw

    Did you get it out? A soldering iron is what I generally use in such situations. Its a tool and skill set that is well worth the investment in the rc world (soldering that is). Also having good tools helps. Protek makes nice tools, as does MIP. A 1.5mm and 2mm are common tools that one should...

    amp mt

    For the price, the dumboRc x6 is a pretty good rx. Quite programmable, great range, has a gyro, and cheap recievers, which means you can run all your rc rigs on one remote. Sorry no links, I'm not so good with such things. The goolrc tg3 isn't a bad option, 3 channel remote, feels kinda cheap...

    Is my ESC programmable? Tazer lipo ready 15 turn motor

    So what brushless system are you going with?

    Ruckus steering problems after upgrade

    Sounds like a faulty servo to me. Try and swap yours for a replacement if you can.

    Ruckus 2WD Upgrade? ESC, Steering Servo etc.....

    How is that tsky holding up for you? I bought 2 of those for like 14(USA) each for my son's crawler, first one lasted about 6 months and fried, 2nd one had issues with reverse, and lasted a couple packs. I do agree with the lipo buzzer alarm. I run them on my son's circuit, as it has the goolrc...

    Front right suspension arm gets loose

    Odd. Doesn't look like the pin is backing out. Is the front hole cracked where the pin goes in? Looks like the front pull out, then it backs itself out. Might be hard to see the crack. Maybe take it off the truck, put the pin in just the front hole of the a arm, and bend it a little, to see a...

    Driveshafts, the best on the market by far

    The only issue some have with the mip, is the limited angles they can run. I actually swapped my a arms left and right so my driveshafts actually go straight from transmission to the wheel hub, instead of going forward and down (mine still go down, but not forward). But yeah, i have several...

    ECX Axe

    Well honestly in stock form it's hard to beat an ecx. They take a beating. But be prepared to upgrade a few things, which is common no matter what vehicle you buy. I've fitted both Traxxas and team associate parts onto mine, when I couldn't find a direct upgrade part that was repeatedly breaking...

    broken AMP MT axle shaft?

    Yes, been beating them for about 2 years now. Definitely got some slop now, but still going.

    Looking for some ESC Settings Advice

    Also make sure your slipper is slipping. Mine tend to stick often and i have to take it off and lightly sand it and reassemble. If the slipper isn't working right it adds strain on the drivetrain.

    Paddle Tires on ECX AMP

    I bet its possible. A dirtbike can, which is much heavier with similar or even slightly less rubber contact. Just have to go fast enough and stay on the throttle.

    Set pin slipping out

    If its popping out, and the front holder is getting worn out, use longer pins. I used Emaxx hinge pins, had to cut them a little shorter, and drill out the part that holds them in the front of the chassis deeper, so the pins go into more plastic. I don't remember because it's been a while, but...

    Looking for hot racing driveshafts.

    Could just buy some aftermarket ones for the rear of the Traxxas slash 4x4, along with new hexes (or drill out your stock hexes). The output shaft of the ecx transmission is a little longer then the Traxxas, so some driveshafts may need to be drilled out a little deeper where the transmission...

    Converting the AMP MT to a Circuit ST (to race!)

    Whats that wire coming out the back of the motor? Is it a temp sensor? A 3660 in 3200kv seems perfect for these trucks. You run 3s or 2s? 3s would be fine with temps on that (for the most part).

    32p spur

    5x11x4 is the insert. In the pic is the stock plastic spacer and a 5x11x4 bearing which is interchangeable with the plastic piece. Issue is the ecx shaft is less then 5mm, maybe its 4, or 4.5mm. Would need a 4x11x4 bearing or spacer.

    32p spur

    The axials wont work. Odd since the original axial 3 gear transmission has the same gears inside, and the same mounting holes on the bottom. But the shaft that the spur gear sits on is slightly bigger on the axial, so the hole is larger on the axial spur then the ecx. Now the axial spurs...

    broken AMP MT axle shaft?

    Yes and yes. I'm running 3s on a 6pole 3300kv. Well direct fit with aftermarket hexes and rims. Stock rims and hexes get a little smaller on the outside then they are on the inside. So to use stock hexes and wheels, you'll need to drill them out to match the larger inner diameter of the hex. But...

    Deep learning from a Circuit and an AMP

    You can flip the pinion gear around on the motor shaft so it fits better. You have to remove the motor to tighten the grub screw as it will be behind the motor plate now.
