I was able to use it for a few minutes, but something felt off.  At first I thought it was cavitating or something.  But as soon as I gave it it&#8217;s first full throttle pull, it became clear something was very wrong.  When I opened the lid there was smoke and metal shavings under the motor shaft.  When I got home I realized the coupler from motor to the shaft must not have been tight enough and the motor was slipping.  I managed to tighten it up and will try again tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/TraxxasDisruptorDay1-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/TraxxasDisruptorDay1-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/TraxxasDisruptorDay1-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/TraxxasDisruptorDay1-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/TraxxasDisruptorDay1-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/TraxxasDisruptorDay1-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I got a Traxxas Disruptor.
