Guys, I bought one of the 1st kits that FGBasher sold. After a few issues with the install, I drove it a few times, then sold it. During the first drive, the front sprocket kept coming loose. So I drilled and pinned it and it was fine after that. I didn't have the chain issues yuu guys had, but I did have 1 servo problem during the install. I wanted to use 2 Hitec 5745's, so had to drop them down lower to clear the chain. Once they cleared the chain, everything was fine. I didn't sell it because I was having problems with it, but because I had done everything I could to it and I didn't enjoy it the way I do my on-road 5th scales. I also didn't have it very long, so after seeing all the problems you're having, I sent the guy I sold it to a PM (I sold it in the rcuniverse classifieds) and told him to check out these threads if he's having any issues with it. He hasn't called me with any questions or problems, so maybe everything's OK, but I feel for you guys. You buy something from a reputable company and expect it to be well designed. You shouldn't have to modify a kit to fit into the vehicle it was made for.

RE: FG MT/Jeep 4X4 build. - 
On dirt covered ashalt with little traction (but good drifting) I suspect the loose dog bone pins may have caused the servo to strip from the clunking, may have cracked the right upper control arm and the DDM torque pipe (which you must run a tuned pipe for the kit to fit) is to much for the frt plastic gear to handle. Right now I feel like ripping the kit off and tossing it but that will not help! 
) and we'll wait on some parts for this clunker. Too much work in it now to toss it. Tires for it arrived today so you can have yours back now
