If you adjust the shock mounts on the side that the wheel picks up on they won't pick up off the ground as much keep the rear shocks up high on the mounts and drop the fronts down on the mounts that should help.
one thing nobody has discussed is what type of piston is used in the shock nor what weight of oil is recommended for the shocks ? Also I noticed when you disassembled your rearend, it looked like it was caked with grease, is this done throughout the truggy, or what weight oil do you recommend ?
Hi, Had the same diff problem with my ZR racing thunder, no stripped gears, had the same result as you did, after disassembling and reassembling worked fine for a while then the problem returned. I took out the rubber spacer on the rear diff and this helped a lot but eventually the problem returned. My guess is that many cars use common parts (like diffs) only trouble is in both your case and mine where the RC delivers huge torque the diff teeth are not sufficiently well meshed to cope and move slightly out of alignment. If you managed to solve the problem please post the solution. P.S. Swapped out the front and rear diffs this kept the RC running for a while until the same problem occurred. I have ordered 2 new diffs, hopefully shall be back on the road soon.
It's not bad, price ok. You should do a short follow up with 3S despite diff issue. That thing should be a beast on 3S. This would be perfect for fpv at the park or the beach.
+Matthew Brothers Possibly. I'll have to look at it more closely. I didn't see any stripping and it had an intermittent slip for a bit on the second part even after cranking and locktite. Perhaps there is a crack in the room I did not see letting the hex hub spin at times
I think the heavy wheel in the back is helping the torque lift front end?? Would you describe the vehicle as sand racer basher? Because it didn’t seem to work well on rocks so not a rock crawler?? So flat surface basher??? Thanks 🙏
Dustin Dunnill just shows u dont it you need to go through every nut n bolt n screw b4 you run or fly them which u shouldnt have to do also do u no wat other props fit the x16 drone
Hi mate great video 😊check out my channel I have the ftx outlaw I've done a few upgrades ...I am new to the game so any advice would be appreciated cheers mate. 👍👊👊👍

When the rear wheel came loose it allowed the wheel hex to spin so you where only getting front wheel drive .
Looks great though 👍🏻
+fgbaja29cc You may be right. Was weird how it did it for a bit partially through the second run. I didn't notice any hex hub strip.
Yessss Dustin! I love the diversity of reviews you're getting into. Keep up the great work!
+Henry Willoughby Thanks Henry. I started RC with ground vehicles as a kid so they'll always have a place with me 😀🍻

It's also branded as Helion..But VRX is the manufacturing factory for many different RC brands.
IT'S the center clutch. You can tight the nut to solve the problem.
Terrific Review bro !
Enjoy your videos because of your thorough trial test.
Your the reason I purchase

+Brad Miles I will do a 3s test 😁
This must be a rebranded Helion Rock Rider-it looks absolutely identical
VRX is the Manufacturer Helion and Vetta use.
Best review man thanks
The diff problem is offcourse the wheel comming off. As soon as the nut came loose the hex on the back of the wheel didnt grip
I love the paint job.
Nice clear review
sub gained
like your presentation and editing
My bet is your wheel came loose enough for the hub to pull free of the axle. It happens

Dustin Dunnill indeed that's what I'm thinking as well
It's happan becuse befor Ur tyre loosing tighten that make rear loose too... Its same problem with my vrx cobra and vrx ranger 1/1O supertouring.

Thanks 🙏
Yes more of a rock racer or fast small jumping and mild fast terrain 👍
To keep the lift on the right side down...would tightening up the suspension on the rear left and front left slightly help at all?
+Yordles Of Doom That should help but handling will suffer a bit in anything other than full throttle runs.
How do u get all of that rc stuff out of pocket or do u have sponsors that send u there product for u to test?
Very good video, thank you . I have Reely Bulldog, that's the same.
I have this and I thought it was a great car. Not so much a basher but it definitely held up to my abuse :)
+RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7 Did you ever have the rear slip issue?
Dustin Dunnill nah no issues with mine. I did give it a good thrashing too.
What head cam are you using?
+patrick kim Sony 4k
It's a Grove Street??
i think it has ABS
How much did it cost?
+Alfredo Barajas I put the link below vid in description.
@ $250
woah that looks nice
+Tyler A 👍🍻
Hi Dustin did u find out what was wrong with this truck
I tightened the screws directly below the center diff/spur gear under chassis and it hasn't done it since 👍
Dustin Dunnill just shows u dont it you need to go through every nut n bolt n screw b4 you run or fly them which u shouldnt have to do also do u no wat other props fit the x16 drone
LOL SPEED LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT SPEED... IF SPEED KILLS IM A DEAD MAN.....
Powerbull😏
that looks more like a helion rock rider clone
Be
Dji spark PLEASE
+KingSnowCone lol.. I know. I need to make the drive up the mountain for the parabolic test .... Hang in there 😉
Dustin Dunnill thank you for listening to my request
