Since my diff yoke broke, I removed the front axles and just made it rear-wheel drive. I was able to get through one run with 23t pinion and the stock battery. The top speed was expectedly low, but it was still pretty fun. I threw in the 3s lipo and that was a perfect bashing speed for me.

Three minutes into the 3s run I ran into a curb and broke the right front upper A-arm. The brakes are much weaker than I am used to. With my other similar vehicles (RC18, Vendetta ST, CRT.5), I can stop from full speed in just a few feet if I need to. With the E-Revo VXL, I wasn't even going full speed. I hit the brakes 10 feet from the curb and it still hit hard enough to brake the A-arm. I'm figuring that has more to do with the ESC than anything else, so a Sidewinder might have to replace the stocker.

I am pretty disappointed that my truck has broken twice in 3 runs. I wasn't any harder on it than I am on the rest of my trucks. Hopefully Traxxas will send out replacements on Monday, then I'll know to take it easier on it when it's up and running again.
