There was a snowfall last night of 10 cm (about 4 inches), but no news about our blizzard order... I'm pissed. It would've been perfect... Ah well, I'm taking out the T-Maxx tonight and making some rooster tails! I'll take some pics!

The waterproof ESCs were out of stock at towerhobbies for a while, so I had to wait till sunday to order it. I hope it gets here by saturday. On saturday there is supposed to be lots of snow.

Sorry, I don't want my snowkitty snapping in haf if it lands too hard. Not to mention the tracks aint designed to take that much cold either. Seems Mama Nature ain't taking her Prozac, and letting the weather moderate... its either too warm, or too d*mned cold! Ah well... means I can focus on the other tracks... Customs mauled my Leo, the lazy buggers. Got to repair most of the turret-top assemblies, especially the MG rails around the hatches.

Don't shorten the chains they are adjustible and do you have the brace if not that might be why the chains are falling off the chassis may be bent.

Worthy of the Trax! Posts: 59 Group: Member Member #53 Joined: February 9, 2006	The chains are adjustable? I dont see an adjustment for them and the manual says to shorten them. The frame is starting to bend alreadythough so i'll have to make a brace for it.

Just loosen the screws on the front where the brace would go and slide the drive sprocket assembly forward - no need to remove a link until you run out of adjustment room. This will also tighten the tracks a little too.

Apparently Kyosho did not receive them like promised last week, so we have to wait some more. At least we got our new stuff from Tower, 17t Motors in a Tamiya Jeep Wrangler and in a Lunchbox.... that will be some crazy racing!!! 3000 MAH batteries and Novak ESC's.... mmmmm Fun fun fun! I've never had an ESC before, so it'll be much more fun than before!
