I think the 2 biggest let downs for latrax are the axles break and the motor gets really hot. I swapped in hot racing metal axles and a dynamite 6000kv 2in1 esc/motor.

@payscue189 2 роки тому

My daughter has one and I ran it on the carpet track and it definitely is a blast to run and the lipo wakes it up even more. Awesome beginner car or travel basher

Bought my son a Teton after buying him 4 $60 grave digger r/c cars from target that all broke. Finally was fed up with replacing the entire thing instead of being able to just fix it like the Teton. So happy we invested in getting the hobby grade car as we have fixed a few different parts but it's nice knowing he can bash it hard and not have to throw it in the trash after. Great beginner cars.

@jeffbryner5355 2 роки тому

I totally agree. I bought my son a slash when he was 7 for that same reason. Thank goodness the parts are available because it's build quality is terrible. It is about 85 percent rpm brand now lol. The best part is that he is 11 now amd we still have it!

@dirtybauer7022 2 роки тому

Even better, there's RPM parts available for it too.

@JJJ-014 2 роки тому

@@jeffbryner5355 HAHA. I just bought myself a Slash 4x4 and have only run it through 2 full batteries and have had to replace shock caps, front arms, turnbuckles etc. But that's part of the fun for me. I can't help myself when I start jumping it. I pull the trigger a little harder each time until something snaps.

@jeffbryner5355 2 роки тому

@@JJJ-014 sounds about right! Replacing parts is not fun haha. Building it is fun but buying replacement parts because they broke is not for.me. Instead of dumping money into upgrades like motors esc's transmitter servo etc your spending money on poor quality parts to keep it running

@SebastianLong 2 роки тому

I bought my two neices the Teton and the Prerunner. The motors burn out quick on them and the servos are absolute trash , but are cool for what they are. Crazy fast for their size too. After like burning out the 5th motor though i bought the two of them TRX4 sports which are far easier to keep running.

@DavidEvans455 2 роки тому

My better half loves her Prerunner. It is great for the small course I built in the back yard, only problem we have had so far was when the servo gears went to war with each other. I slapped a metal gear servo in its place and all is well.

@rudysrc6652 2 роки тому

Maaaaannn!!! I hope that dude paid for the parts at least Mark! That was just wrong. I know he didn’t mean it most likely, but he slam dunked it hard!! 😳. Just as a gentleman courtesy hope he threw you at least a $20 or $40 to get right! Keep producing content Budd! Late. ✌🏽

@TheUnknown714 2 роки тому

I bought this same version as well. Only problem I experienced was after a crash into a car wheel it started bogging. Turns out my center bearing went crap. But after that good to go.

Mark, can you or do you have a video of setting up the brake on the multifunction knob you mentioned on your summit video.

@peteryedica6510 2 роки тому

My son Loves his pre runner! His bulkhead and arms were the first repair that he had to do also! Hahaha. We ended up putting RPM arms on it, cuz they are a definite weak point, and after replacing 3 of them, we decided it would be a smart idea to upgrade them, and he hasn’t had any issues since.

@storyracing387 2 роки тому

Very cool, especially for a new person or like you said a younger kid as a first rc car. 👍

@Flcelez79 2 роки тому

I have a Prerunner and a Teton both ready for the spring because the weather right now sucks. I got all the spares I'll need and a Hobbywing brushless setup because I know the stock motor will fail soon enough after running them. The Traxxas 2s 2200 lipo will fit suggly in the battery compartment with no no need for that battery clip.

@JPistols 2 роки тому

Was supperz Mark, do you recommend a Latrax just for fun? I’ve actually been thinking of picking up a 1/16 E-Revo VXL… 🤷

@michaeldorich4485 2 роки тому

The LaTrax Prerunner looked good. I am sorry you didn't get to finish. You were very, very kind when you said "we got a little too excited." We used the LaTrax Rallies with our school club for practice at our meetings. My only criticism is tha Traxxas puts its cheapest radios with the cars and trucks that need the steering travel, especially for novices. Every cheap car or truck coming out of Asia has travel adjustments. Thanks for the quick look.

@bergj1981 2 роки тому

Have a prerunner and Teton bulkheads always break. You can get a 2s 2000mah pack in there and lock the battery hold down. Other problem is no slipper clutch, if it gets stuck it will smoke the motor

@bassinup5184 Рік тому

I broke my front right arm twice in a week on race mode, should I keep getting plastic or should I get the aluminum ones off Amazon?

@jackolicious8063 2 роки тому

Once you have rpm arms, aluminum bulkheads and driveshafts, its pretty durable. Brushless and a lipo make it stupid fast.

@all-is-Grass 5 місяців тому

Aluminum bulkheads.... EXPENSIVE. I have not ran my Latrax Teton yet, but have gotten an aluminum center brace, aluminum driveshafts, RPM arms, and Hot Racing 60t steel spur with Latrax's 14t pinion. It came with metal diffs in the box. I shimmed the differentials, both ring and input gears. Used black, grade 3 open gear grease with moly in it, and put that on the spur as well. Just put in a Hobbywing 4500kv motor that goes with the 30a ESC. Waiting on 2s batteries. I hope that's ENOUGH to make it a little more capable. I just can't invest any more into it, or into any of my RC's till next year.

In all fairness, those jumps are WAY too big for that scale of RC. People whine about them breaking and being cheap. Well, ya their cheap- super cheap. That's the point! If not sailing them over huge jumps and driving reckless. Great bang for the buck. For the price of 1 decent RC, you buy two. And race a buddy.😁 On a small-scale off-road RC track these handle great when tuned. Again, when running a 1/18 on jumps mage for 1/10 & 1/8 RC's your going to break stuff on crashes.

My son saved his money for months to buy this truck, what a P.O.S!! Within the first 5 min the front suspension a arm broke, no jumping, just driving around on flat ground. Bought the rpm upgrade parts and installed, spur gear broke, bought new parts, motor seized up, warranty on motor, front axels snapped, upgraded to aluminum performance parts, new motor seized, …… all with less than 2 hrs total run time. Traxxas customer service is totally useless and unwilling to help. We haven’t ever been able to run a complete battery though this thing without it breaking!
