Well ....heres a fix so screw holding Linkage to the Servo horn will never fall out Again! It also Tightens Tolerances (less slop) and cures Binding problems(if ya have them),,,,, Heres the picture....
P.S. Thats a 3x15mm hex screw, 2ea 3mm washers, and 2ea 3mm nuts. the nut on top is Loctited ant holds the other in place without having to over tighten(and cause Binding in the linkage).

Status: offline 		you need to take the trans out, 4 screws on the bottom of the chassis. you will need to take the engine out too. then break down the trans to get the gears out. its a little bit of a job and for the first time you will need a big place to put the parts, in the order you take them out so you know how to get it back together, most of it is obvious.

Status: offline 		ok i got a question, so you know how if you put bigger tires on then your low end will suffer but your top end will be better, and if you did smaller tires then your top end would suffer but low end would be better. what if you put two different size tires on, like on a volcano you put buggy tires on the front or just put bigger tires on the rear or something. what would happen if you had two different size tires??

it wont work, the tires need to be the same size on a 4 wheel drive vehicle. all 4 need to turn at the same speed.
