    Amp MT rear Shock tower damaging shell

    You did not screw up, that is just how it is. The body is quite thin and it simply wears out in that spot.

    Alternatives to ECX part 13003 receiver

    It is good but has flaws, notably the fact that exponential is bugged. It also eats much more battery than it should.

    ESC, Transmitter, Receiver options ECX Amp?

    FS-GR3E is not waterproof, I had to let it dry out on the dashboard once before it would work again...

    ESC Mounting

    I also use double sided tape, the thick kind which is like a layer of foam of .5mm. The flat kind doesn't really stick well to the plastic because it's too coarse.

    Ruckus 1/10 Brushless Black/Red no power to wheels

    I'm with @X here, I can see the knuckles on the driveshaft spinning fast but the wheels do not move, so there is something between that knuckle and the tire that is disconnected with just a little resistance. That wheel hex is in poor shape on the inside but it should still grip, unless your...

    Recommendations on an ESC

    That receiver is commonly found in boats, so "floating around" is an appropriate expression :-)

    Need help going brushless

    I found the goolrc esc to have way too hard braking, it will basically lock the wheels even on tarmac when you want to slow down before making a turn. It is also very punchy, which is a problem on gravel. So I would personally get the program card for it. I regret not getting it in the first...

    skyfly receivers help

    I have never tested this scenario, but how exactly where they bound? Did you bind truck 1 to memory 1 of transmitter 1 and truck 2 to memory 1 of transmitter 2? Each transmitter should have many, many frequency channels to avoid exactly this problem, that you show up to a track and someone is...

    Goolrc esc

    I have this combo and it works well. The fan is nearly broken (was like that out of the box really) and only runs 50% duty cycle and is very noisy. But the ESC never runs hot and the motor is punchy enough. Whether I'd buy it again or not really depends on if I can tone it down once I get the...

    That's good to know, thanks. I will get a goolrc program card off ebay then :-)

    AMP MT Kit, Questions about steering.

    Yes the aluminium steering knuckles are to stop the shoulder screws pulling out when you hit something. I got these from hot racing, but you can now also get them from Horizon themselves. My first upgrade was a LiPo and charger, gave the truck a lot more pep. Then I fixed the steering (metal...

    AMP MT Kit, Questions about steering.

    The steering out of the box is indeed terrible. As @Heyitsme said, you can fix it with upgrades but it will still be entry level RC. RPM servo saver eliminator, Power HD 1501mg servo and aluminium steering knuckles will sort out the front end, for the drive train you want stronger axles and...

    For the first bullet point you posted, perhaps you are suffering from the same issue I had. Read about it here.

    I never heard a bad thing about proline trenchers.

    Does anyone know where I can get some new ecx amp mt servo mounts?

    You mean the mounting blocks? They are in the suspension set: https://www.horizonhobby.com/front-rear-suspension-mount-set%3A-1-10-2wd-circuit--boost-ecx1092

    Transmitter Range Question

    Thanks for the update, and I'm glad you figured it out. Since 2.4GHz frequency hopping radios became standard gear on RTRs, transmitter range is normally a non-topic.

    Very nice man, I love that metal plate you put on the back. Did you fabricate that?

    Steering binding

    If you overtighten the steering spindle bolt (the one that sits at an angle downwards in the center of it), it will bind badly. Otherwise I have no idea.

    I think I cooked my ESC...

    If it's any consolation, one of my Amp ESCs failed exactly the same way even before it ever saw a drop of water. They are just junk. I got it replaced under warranty which is nice enough of them, but it's a spare part for my other amp now because I upgraded it to a much more reliable $30 goolrc...
