| Further Description/Back Story | started as a stock Traxxas Telluride 4×4 that I recieved for my 8th or 9th birthday. I ran it stock for 4 years. I later upgraded it to a Traxxas Velenion VXL 3s and 3500kv system. It was left sitting for a year, then I removed the velenion system and installed it into another car. I then decided I wanted the Telluride to be a trail/scale truck so I got a Proline Hilux SR5. I knew that that the Telluride could never crawl as good as a TRX-4 or Axial so I chose the Hobbywing EZRUN MAX10 combo to provide enough speed for entertainment and good enough torque for small rocks or tree roots. I love this Telluride for basic trail running, but I plan to buy a real 1.9 scale/trail crawler soon. After years of running the stock telluride in the street and yard, the tires became nearly bald and had no grip or softness to them. to fix that, I used a body reamer to poke holes in the tires and a pocket knife to scar the tread. I also soldered on a Traxxas plug for the ESC. I AM 14 YEARS OLD. this telluride is very special to me because it was my 1st RC car and it taught me a lot about RC. |
