yeah his broke at the pin hole. its very possible he was WOT in the air....you know kids. he was disappointed it happened but I explained it happens. lol he has seen me break my stuff time after time. i got him a pair of them for $9 so now he has an extra in his box in case it happens again. he even put it back together himself with me walking him through it but he did all the wrenching. working on a deal to get him some better batteries now. thanks for all the help guys.
How we did a temp fix for the guy(s) to finish racing that night was put some RC10GT hubs and bearings on with a T4 axle, they were "sloppy" as 76nova1 stated with diff pins sizes. BUT they finished that night and the next weeks race cause the new parts hadn't come in yet.
Perhaps with ST rear arms the GT hubs would fit the pins better!

ext
Yeah, its a bad part, all the rear axles are bad parts. I have broken three of them. But my two EXTs are abused by my 5 year old daughter, wife and four nieces.
If the axles are all that break, I am happy.
Also I have sent in one a-arm for the warranty deal. Duratrax does not send you a replacement like they claim, they send you a package with TWO replacements!!!

no we havent done anythign to his EXT yet. he just got it. Money is a little tight right now but we will be upgrading it here and there as we can. i picked him up a speed jem 2 motor for $5 as a back up motor in case somethign happens there. im told its faster then the stock motor so maybe after he runs it at the track the first time and if if doesnt have any problems maybe we will just try that motor out.

the speed control in a EXT won't go below a 20 turn.
The 20 turn in a EXT is a very old motor design!!
Any CO27 (CO >> CObalt) style motor would be a BIG improvement.
When I run a "stock" brushed motor I use this Axiom CO27

========
A Tazer speed control, it will go down to a 15 turn, is a good option for a low amount of $$$$

Hi I have a question for you duratrax guys. I won an ST truck earlier this yr, I've been reading about the upgrades to make the truck better so thanks to all for the tips there. My question is what body can you run on it? Does it have to be specific to the duratrax or will say a losi XXXT body or asoc T4 body work?
Thanks
Thanks

With that said! You changed out your piston? Do you mean piston and sleeve OR just the piston?

T3 (some but not Asso) will fit
Losi XXT (If I remember right there are more Losi's that fit, AD body << maybe)
And the Duratrax's
To stop the tinny sound of the Duratrax bodies duct tape the insides of the truck sides, below the side windows.

We will have to try that conversion as well. I bought my son a EXT for his birthday this weekend and on his 2nd battery the rear axle pin broke already. he was only jumping it on a 8" high ramp we set up for him. was pretty disappointed to say the least. he is only 10 and is very into rc as he is at the track with me every weekend and pits my truggy for me. Got it for him to give his hand at racing and if he sticks to it we will upgrade him to a new truck. but was hoping he could get by awhile with the EXT. He tried a 3.3 tmaxx awhile ago but it was a bit more truck then he could handle for his first time. any suggestions or anything for him? and please no "buy a different truck" comments. this is what he has and would like to make the best of it.
also is there any tips you can give him on set up for off-road track? we looked online and couldnt find anything. i have no experience in electric myself. any help would be greatly appreciated.
