Non-pro / outdoors setups

First. You all have some phenomenal rigs. I know an indoor/course setup is in my future.

Now. What do you all using for beating around in the street or indoors? Phoenix area now has 3 indoor tracks but I can’t commit to making the trips (work/family/life). Have crawlers and bashers from the big 3 that I’ve modified enough to build the originals over. But now

TT-02D seems like a place to start but I absolutely defer to the experts of this sub.

Rough Abuse Transmittrr

I am not the nicest to my stuff. Especially my RC. Blast, bash, test limits. Who doesn’t love the fixing aspect?! lol. I leave these cars in my truck hoping for a quick bash session. The nb4+ seems well loved but I worry about dirt/mud/dust/extreme heat as I live in Phoenix.

Plan on getting into:
1/10 drift
1/10 clay/dirt
1/10 crawl

Have now:
Maxx wideV2
Granite brushless
Typhoon grom 223s
Trx4m
Scx30
Micro b

Where to get kit vehicles

I’ve got an itch I need to scratch. Have a bunch of RTRs that I’ve modded a bunch of times. Looking at picking up an nb4+ , have a hobby wing quicrun brushless sec combo NIB. Think it’s time to get a kit. Something 1/10 or bigger. Thinking drift, crawler, or buggy, trail truck.

Are my local shops plus the Phoenix desert.

Granite Mega 665 Steering No Thottle.

Rechecked soldering points
Battery jumper is on lipo
Full battery (gens ace basher 2s)
Tried rebinding with the jumper
Transceiver batteries changed.
Tried the TX from scx30, mini-b, and typhoon Grom 223s

Any advice or direction would be appreciated. Pulling my imaginary hair off my bald head! Lol. It was one of the $99 HH deals for my oldest's bday.

NINJA EDIT:
SOLVED! I'm a moron. Could have sworn these were 2s batts. Nope. 3s. Ordered QuicRun combo instead of 2s batteries.

Let’s Add Some Girth.

What are some big offset wheels to throw at her? Side tipping is a problem. Maybe wider axels too.

Current mods
Brass skid
Brass knuckles
Ripples with brass inserts
Cyber snake +6
Torque beast
Injora shocks (the taller ones)
Overdrive front diffs

Choose My Future (upgrades)!

Been pretty happy with her over the past year but got the itch. Picked up injora aluminum LCG chassis and some flex blades for the rear. While she is in pieces, what would you do ? Electronics, gearing, axels are the only thing I haven’t touched.

7300mkii Users. How’s it going?

Returning this x6100 I purchased last month. Gave her the college try but in the end, I just didn’t want to deal with something always being finicky.

Looking for a base station. I will say that the biggest selling point is built in networking, hdmi, and usb-c. Having three kids under 10 in a smallish house makes time at a station a premium without interruption and the shack is in the corner of their play area. Being able to go somewhere else seems like a breath of fresh air unless I’m hiding in the bathroom behind a locked door with one of the three banging on the door, lol.

I hear build quality isn’t what it used to be but I’m too new (January) to know what “used to be” was. but for my use case, it will sit in my server rack, locked.

Thanks for your time and 73!

UPDATE. Placed the order!

Controller With Functioning Triggers

Vibepollo 3080ti 7800x3d

Nvidia shield (OG) moonlight

8bitdo ultimate (the switch 2.4/bt one)

.

Triggers are either on or off. No throttle control. Is there a setting or something I am missing or does the controller not allow for control?

Shower thought.

ATUs. They can tune a hotdog cart blah blah (it’s actually pretty cool) blah. Can they tune other antenna? Say vhf/uhf/gmrs/etc?

Made it about 5 runs in harsh rocky Phoenic desert. She did beautifully. I reseated it once and put a dab of plastic glue down to help with no luck.

Anyone got a recommendation to stop this or am I getting a reefs servo this weekend? Lol.

Coming from mini slash, trx4m, Typhon Grom, scx30 in that order after a long break from my nitro Mugen seiki days in the late nineties.

Never have I had this much grounded control in anything.

Big batteries than can fit the whole battery tray?

Not once but TWICE! Has this happened from Amazon. First one I bought used in "excellent condition. Wiring and motor looked off. Gorgon guts. Second one was "new." They didn't even bother to put it back together all the way. Kiddo is pretty bummed.

I am relegated to buying local but no one in Phoenix has them. LHS is Traxxas heavy and the next 3. Looks like a Maxx snipped to xt60/90 is in my future.
