SHIT, I'm sorry. I hadn't realized it was the stocker. The picture played a trick on my feeble brain, I read you installed a MMP but my eyes seen MMM.
I'm just a big fat dope

Did you want to know about the rx box or the esc?

I ran my Slash 4x4 (MMM/2650/4s) in the sand dunes this weekend. It was a blast for a while. But the rear paddles and possibly too tight slipper destroyed my rear half shafts. I need something that will hold up better. The Losi 8ight shocks worked awesome though!!

Man, I don't care how tight your slipper is, if you're running in sand and snap axles your axles are weak. I hate slippers and I hate weak drivetrains. Poopy deal.

Just out of curiosity; are you running the center diff in there? Because running a solid center with dissimilar diameter tires can place a lot of stress on the drivetrain in general. But that's probably not why the rear shaft snapped; that's probably caused by the greater traction of those paddles. CVDs would help that a lot. I've never been a fan of the smaller slider shafts; they are just too weak to handle serious power IMO.

No center diff, the thing would be useless with only rear paddles and a center diff. Can you say Front Wheel Drive?

I was aware of the issues with different tire diameters, but I figured it wouldn't matter much in the soft sand. I mean worse case, the truck has to spin the fronts a bit faster, which shouldn't be too hard. You should have seen the truck after the back end broke. I tried driving it as a front wheel drive for a minute. Hilarious...
