Status: offline 		yeah i have the same problem. i think that i can continue to pour money into this thing but in the end i'm just putting band aids on something that requires stitches. i think i may buy an Ofna onroad car next as i've heard they're much better quality.

I have not broke any drive train components, but I do have screws coming loose a lot. Mostly the back A-arm screw that attaches it to the tranny. Luckily the motor stops it from coming out completely, but I have to tighten it every time I take out the truck.

yes, I have that happen too, always the drivers rear, and passengers front. usually after a few runs. no biggie, they wiggle themselves out. I think a straight post with a c-clip on each side would have been a better way to keep these in and not have them back out.

yea, I don't even pull wheelies anymore, I've got the slipper about 3/4 off from tight and I've got the punch control set to level 3, so maybe thats why I've been easy on driveline parts.

One thing I have experianced in the one I have in my T4 is to take off the end plate where the wires go in and put some silicone sealer there, there was enough space for small dirt and gravel to get in the motor housing, other then that a GREAT little motor.

Also, the screw came loose on the right rear camber link:


Running on gravel seems to be really rough on my Rustler, but I dont have many other places to run that are close by.

What tires are those if I may ask ? And how are they on LOW grass.

I would have to say yes, but they do wear down real quick on asphalt.
