    Are these upgrades worth?

    A bit ago, I lost 2 shoulder screws. I noticed my steering knuckle had horribbllleee threads just now and I found a Hot racing Steering block upgrade. Will this eliminate that issue somewhat? I understand that I should add some thread lock to it, would silicone glue or any other glue work or...

    Brushless motor and esc for my boost?

    Hello, just seeing if anyone would know the answer to this question. Would a hobbystar 35a esc/120a burst be sufficient in the boost with the skyrc toro 2800kv motor? That motor claims the "max current" to be only 33a, this kind of confused me as its a 540 motor and I've even seen cheaper ones...

    Overheating ESC and Motor Issues

    Hello to all, I have a ECX Boost running a Castle Creations Sidewinder 3 w/ a 5700kV brushless motor. I’m experiencing very bad overheating issues.

    I got Boosted

    I was strolling through my LHS and he had a lone Boost on the shelf marked down to $100. So I got it on a whim thinking it was the same as the Amp DB. Well, it's close. Then I had it in the yard playing with my kids and their Amp MTs it acted like it was overheat protecting itself. So I parked...

    boost steering upgrade

    my boost was sloppy in the steering dept, so I ordered a metal steering system off ebay for $30, yes it was high, but man it took care of the problem. no more sloppy steering.. I also upgraded the servo with hitech one!

    upgraded drive shafts

    you can upgrade the driveshafts with traxxas rustler ones, but you will have to shave em down a bit to get them to fit via dremel toll.. so far so good. they are holding up

    What spur gears compatible with ECX 2WD cars?

    The ECX Boost: The buggy with an identity crisis

    I've spent the last few weeks on a (fool's) quest to prep my Boost buggy into a race-capable vehicle. One major sticking point is the front suspension: The Boost's front suspension set-up is a TRUCK set-up. Not for a buggy! The main problem is that with the shorter suspension arms the front...

    Boost discontinued?

    The link on the ECX site is a dead end and Horizon Hobbies website says it's discontinued. I was thinking of getting one for my nephew for his birthday. Has the AMP desert buggy replaced it?

    T-Bone Racing Racer2 bumper for ECX Boost

    As part of my recent make-over binge, I purchased a T-Bone Racing "Racer2" bumper for my Boost. The Racer2 bumper is made of a relatively thin (.093" thick) nylon material which keeps weight down and makes for a nice, springy bumper. It is a little wider than the stock bumper (which is the same...

    ECX Boost RPM steering upgrades

    As part of my quest to create a Boost that's not just race-ready, but race-worthy, I've begun a series of upgrades featuring RPM's excellent after-market replacement parts. First up is the "RPM Servo Saver Eliminator Bellcrank." The set ships with Delrin bushings that are a good, close fit and...

    12t Pinion gear

    Has anyone installed a 12t pinion gear, specifically on a Amp or Boost ? Ive slid the motor over as closest I can but it still ways away from the spur. Even a 15t pinion doesn't set right, barely catches. Are there different types 48p 3mm pinions ?
