Ive needed to look this up several times before and i probably will again, now i know where to go, and Merry Christmas everyone!

Thank you Mark!!! I've been out of the RC hobby for 20 years. Decided to buy a mini e Revo off Amazon. Was waiting for me when I got home from camping. First problem was stupid. I forgot to turn the controller on 🤣🤦‍♂️. 2nd, I'm old and of course the NiMH packs are dead. Sticker attached to the ESC said lipo cutoff was disabled. It was not. Thank you for helping this aging old geezer out!! Got brushless coming for me and a losi mini t 2.0
This one I bought for my nephew. He's only 6. No idea how fast this thing is. I don't have a car so I can't charge the packs. Bummer 😕 and the hobby store here is "closed for the summer".... Bunch of bs imo but whatever. Lol
Anyway thanks again bro. Hope you're doing well!

Merry Christmas. Love the ones you have and remember the ones you lost. May this year be remembered as the hardest test this generation had faced and also the year we learned that love is all we need.

Thumbs up for the "Battery straight to the motor" idea. I love trouble shooting solutions like that....

[Storyracing]

Hey dude, thanks for making the intro to this hobby very welcoming!! The first thing I searched for was sc racing and your channel popped up. That was six months ago and I've been hooked ever since. Merry Christmas to you and your family, look forward to more awesomeness in the new year! 🤘👊🤙🔥

Also when the tires shake like that, I’ve found massaging the foam in the low and high spots around the tires will help balance it out. Nice vid bro.

[jaywraps]

Thank you for posting this video, saved me from replacing a whole bunch of parts I didn’t need!

[QuinntumAZ]

All the questions I had answered in one video! Thanks!

[tone]

Nice an early release video. Merry Christmas everyone. Hopefully I can catch the live

[abfishing]

Merry Christmas Mark and everyone..stay blessed and safe 🙏

[guymarotta]

Too bad you're having trouble, Mark. I have bought Traxxas stuff before and had nothing but trouble, and now I hate Traxxas!

[charlessmith]

Merry Christmas Mark and all the RC buffs

[dustinplee]

I even got the Traxxas rustler for Christmas and it’s 2wd

[mikestaley]

Merry Christmas. Thank you for all of your videos. You have gotten me back into the hobby and now with me having 4 boys I am getting them into it as well. But dang has this hobby gotten expensive.

[panthersfreak]

You helped me fix my Rustler. I was terrified because it wouldn't respond and the remote needed to be re-paired

[pistonpoweredrc]

OMG man You are like a lifesaver that help me out I was using a Lipo battery with the speed control and I put the NIMH Battery and it was only steering but not accelerating this made it work thank you so much.

[TSrocksnc]

Great video Mark! Its funny, I got my grandson that exact Rustler for Christmas for his first "hobby grade" RC, and it was in lipo cut off mode out of the box.

[flyerschris]

From my family to yours Merry Christmas.

[RCVictoryLane]

Love the video. Wouldn't mind winning the Rustler for sure

[phillipfaris]

Car would not run, thought the batteries in my controller were still in good shape but I was wrong, put a new set in the controller, works like a charm.
