Latrax Teton build thread

[RAMPAGE2092]

So I got a Latrax Teton for Christmas and plan on doing a bunch of upgrades, so this is the place I will keep track of everything I do. I already broke front A arm, front diff housing,
And three drive shafts, already got hobby park aluminum drive shafts, and A arms are on the way.

Also a question, it came with a 7.2v 1200mah NiMH battery, so how many volts do I need to charge it to?

Thanks for the the help!!

Was gonna get one for my nephew. What's the power like on it?

It’s pretty fast. I built a back flip ramp and it did them perfectly, but you should look into buying aluminum driveshafts as I broke three in two days. And it also depend on how old they are.

He's five or six so he'll either be really abusive or really careful lol. Point taken regarding the driveshafts

My five yo sister drove it and went full throttle luckily I grabbed it before any damage was done also where will he be driving it?

1.4-1.5v per cell or 8.4-9v total. Most if not all nimh chargers will charge it to the proper level. Charge at no more than 1.2 amps.

So planning on building a nice little 1/18 scale track when spring rolls around. So was just wondering what tires would be good for loose dirt on top and hard pack on bottom, and what a good brushless systems there are for around $50 dollars.

Thanks.

So yesterday the hobbypark aluminum a arms arrived and they are extremely nice, bashed the heck out of them and they are fine although I broke a rear knuckle sending it of a 10th scale jump so have to order one soon.

Here’s a few pics

Also are metal hubs worth it or will they just pull out the pins?

I would swap to metal hubs and plastic a arms, you are lucky you didn't break where the pins attach to the chassis.
