Love it when someone is not afraid to get em dirty! And the holes on the tires are supposed to be there. They will fling dirt and water out as they spin.👍👊
@@KingsRCno, the components are shared between Mojave, fire team, felony, and a couple limitless. You can mix and match. The Mojave diffs are geared different from the felony, but exact same dimensions. You can swap out your straight geared diffs for the conical felony gearing, and car becomes an absolute street crusher. As it's wider, it will want to sway and float like a frisbee, so turn the gain way down on steering, and possibly invest in drag gimble that plugs into receiver before servo. Good luck, great truck.
The hole in the Arrma Fireteam. Actually all Arrma truck and cars have vented tires so less ballooning and for the water to escape plus every Arrma has all waterproof. Not the Traxxas the receiver aren’t just receiver box.
Xmaxx is not a similar comparison. Much wider turning radius, and esc doesn't handle heat if you put speed gearing in. You need a lot more room and a system swap to really rip the xmaxx. I have both, and around 5 treed acres, and xmaxx spends most of its time on the shelf. On 8s with stock gearing, it's much slower than fire team on 4s. Not hating on it, but not as much fun.
I own a fireteam and overall it’s the best off road rig I own. I also own a 5th scale Kraton 8s and I can assure you It gets more drive time than the Kraton
Fireteam allday. Best offroad driver out there. Mine is slammed and driveline swapped with a felony, with rear of a felony chassis cut off and mounted where bumper was so i could add a limitless wing. Absolute monster for speed and drifting, with ford lightning body and a team paint job with interior light kit. On my channel
nice video! 👍 i got me a fireteam and it is worth every cent. its an absolute beast. i had thesame problems with the ballbearings till i swaped the steeringblocks with vitavon parts. aluminum housing and 5mm thicker ballbearings do make a major difference. got rid of the spektrum electronics and went for a max6, 1650kv combo for bit more torque. 50kg servo keeps the car in line. its a blast. sledge and the fireteam where the 2 options i had but went for the fireteam , cause my 3s batteries i use, dont fit into the sledge.
The idea of the hole in the tyre it's self maybe the go, with centrifugal forces forcing water back out of the tyre, don't really know just speculating. Maybe ask Dr Karl 🤣🤣
Not sure that plugging the tires is a great idea as that is part of the shock absorbency system. That being said, if you want to do so you could probably use Fix-a-flat or something like that. Doing so in the rear wheels only could also work as a ballast to keep the rear end down when going over jumps.
There is no need to use Traxxas batteries in Traxxas cars. I've got a Fireteam and an 8S X-Maxx, and I can use the same 4S batteries in both. I've never bought Traxxas batteries for my Traxxas cars ... adapters make that easy. Each vendor platform has pros and cons. My Fireteam is faster and has an awesome scale look, but Arrma should have given it stability control instead of that silly brake. Traxxas has cheaper replacement parts, plus faster/better battery-mount and body-mount systems. I like both! 🙂
