    Eliminate slop in the rear wheels, aluminum hubs?

    I'm running a rather powerful brushless motor and there seems to be more and more slop in the rear wheels (it looks lie it is at the hub level, not the arms). Bearings are holding up fine (Fast Eddy). Would aluminum hubs help with this? And if so, Hot Racing on ECX? Could the (stock) hexes also...

    Transmitter Range Question

    Hi all, first post here. My son bought an AMP MT BTD kit earlier this year after saving some Christmas/birthday money and I pitched in the last little bit to cover the cost. It's been a great experience for us so far and he did about 90% of the build work with me guiding him along the way...not...

This is with an upgraded Kinexis...

    My Amp with Baja Bug body

    I know bodies are a hot topic as the stock one isn't very strong and the size / shape of the car make it hard to find compatible ons. Here's the body of the FTX Bugsta (17.90€). Some small hobbyking body posts extensions in the rear and 4 holes later it's looking good! Amp baja bug body from...

    AMP MT 2.4 (60 mm) Wheels?

    I know most of the 2.2 buggy wheels out there don't fit on the front end because they rub the steering pivot. I haven't pulled my wheels off to measure yet, but I'm wondering if anyone's tried some of the plus sized wheels on an AMP with any success. Examples: JConcepts Bullet 60 mm rear...

    Pimpin’ the Amp for the Summer Race series

    Guiding my son through set up for his race Amp. He added Traxxas adjustable camber turn buckles, repacked the diff with grease, and I’m helping him install a Kyosho Lemans esc with a full sensored Kyosho 19.5 motor. Gonna slow him down a little, but he will learn throttle control.

    2.8 wheels on ECX AMP

    So I like running the bigger tires on the amp. 2.8 duratrax lockup but they rub on the truck body when jumping. Should I just trim the body or is there a 2.6 premounted tires? Or is there a body that fits the amp that won't rub?

    Metal gearing

    So I recently updated my gearing to the Ecx Metal gears. And I don't know if it's just me but is it supposed to make a clank sound when stopping and braking and slowly starting off? Should I put a grease on them?
