    Wear out your shocks due to straps? What?? Protek and proline and others are made of the same material and built the same way

    I stand by my assessment. 1) the bag is poorly made and consist of low quality material for the price they charge; 2) I have had stock shocks break from doing a low ramp jump in the street, so yes, if a customer has not upgraded to aluminum/heavy duty shocks, I would not want the stock shocks to be compressed down by the bungee cords. I actually threw our proline bag in the trash. Traxxas makes a high quality duffle bag which allows an RC to rest flat in the bag with no straps ... plus it has room for the controller, tool kit, extra batteries etc. You're entitled to your opinion but if I'm going to spend money, I want quality and a good design. I have no tries to any vendor so I feel free to be honest with my assessments.

    It's difficult to say what the problem could be. If the motor turns on but the controller is not functioning, it could be that the controller is not synced to the car. We have a video on this. If the battery itself is not charging, I'd call the company's support number. There are a number of things that could be causing the problem.

  • @funwithrcdudes5928
    @funwithrcdudes59283 ай бұрын

    Great question!! NO you can't use the stock NiMH charger on a LIPO battery. Here's the official statement by Traxxas: "NEVER charge a LiPo battery using a NiMH charger (or NiMH charging mode on a combination NiMH/LiPo battery charger). LiPo batteries can be damaged by over-discharging, which is why the electronic speed control on all Traxxas models has built-in Low-Voltage Detection to alert you when LiPo batteries have reached their minimum voltage (discharge) threshold. LiPo batteries should be stored partially charged, and require a LiPo-specific charger."

    Congrats on your XO-1, I have an XO-1 myself the older model i bought as a rolling chassis off eBay and built it up with custom electronics since i didn't want the hassle of unlocking it and dealing with the stock TQI radio or stock Traxxas servo. I have run mine quite a bit out on my street on 4s with a 20t pinion but haven't run it at full speed yet i'm also waiting for good weather and a good top speed location to run mine. Can't wait to see the first speedrun of yours.

    I had a bag like this, ~10 years ago, and never had any issues. Don't recall if it was the Pro-line or Protek, but they are constructed the same, so it must not be too bad. Reviews on Amain are 4 of 5, vs 5 of 5 for the Protek, but one guy never tried the bag, and gave it one star. Your review would be more useful had you actually used the drawers, instead of just complaining about material that has been used for these for over a decade. What alternative would you suggest Proline use instead, for similar weight and strength/stiffness? Would it be that hard tto run the bungees over a wheel or axle, instead of the body, so you shocks aren't bottomed?

    Hauler bags have been built with this basic design of a zip case and corrugated drawers (originally cardboard) for over 30 years. I had one like this in the early 90s when I raced touring cars. On some bags they are wide enough that you can fit your car in one of the drawers (the Protek 1/8 hauler works like that even for SCT or 1/8 buggy). Many of us took enough stuff that it was still easier to fit the car on top. If you run the bungees through the chassis (like shock towers or bumpers or even just around the axles) rather than over the body, it’s very secure and no need to compress the shocks. The corrugated plastic drawers are an upgrade from the cardboard ones. A few spills of fluids like shock oil or a little moisture from mud would ruin the old cardboard boxes. The plastic ones don’t suffer from that issue. While a different material can be nice, it can also be very heavy. For slot car racing, most of the best boxes were made of wood. Since the cars were 1/24 or 1/32 scale and weighed much less, most of the weight you carried was the box. It would be impractical for a larger scale hauler bag, as the bag itself would weigh 40lbs with nothing in it.
