    Nice score. Great reciver very capable if not latest. Just what I have on my sanwa 4s. Love your up beat content. Many thanks for your vlogs
  • @Pyro17059
    I'm hoping and praying I figured out my crazy push issue! Built a late model from an MBX7eco buggy and could NOT get it to go through the corners well. It had a crazy push that I couldn't figure out. Im fairly new to this stuff but what I found is that my servo saver was fairly loose, AND little did I know I can change the BEC from 6v up to 7.4 volts!!! grrr....this HAS to help. I absolutely can't wait to get back to the track to test it out.
  • @baggszilla
    Nice perfect timing! Mark what servos do you recommend for my nitro 1/8th buggy? Steering and Throttle? Thanks 😊
  • @joshengland5251
    Hey brother....thanks for another great video.....i have a quick question if u have time....my trx4 i just showed u you the other day on fb i think . . It blew the esc for whatever reason.....long story short put new in worked fine for 2 days same setup nothing changed .....same battery .....now when i power on the receiver stays red....and the esc constant blinking green....even reached out to traxxas and they sent me alot of same things ive tried from u.....as always...and utube . But i think the receiver must be shot... .dang wish we were closer then 5 states.....lol.. thanks if u read this or anyone else . Thanks for the love.....#MSM FAMILY👊
