Jammin....
Haha are you kidding me? I saved up all this money to buy myself the jammin scrt10 and when i finally unbox it i find the center diff leaking oil everywhere. Im pretty dissapointed in Jammin right now...
Did this happen to anyone else?

RE: Jammin....
you have to generally take apart the diffs anyways on any new RC because they generally will have grease instead of fluid OR they'll have the wrong fluid for what you want anyway
I'm surprised they ship with oil at all, most makers just ship diffs full of grease
not really an issue, it's part of the new RC plan to have to rework the diffs

RE: Jammin....
Sorry to hear that! Me and my buddy got our sct's at the same time I got the Hyper and he got the Jammin. Very first run around the track he broke somthing and always had issues. two week ago he traded it at the track for a upgraded AE SC10. He feels he got the better trade! He has also just bought the Bump 2.0 Hyper 10sc because he loved mine so much.

RE: Jammin....
Savage flux came with leaky diffs. I tore it apart, learned how to work on my savage, fixed it better than anyone in a sweatshop could and bashed the crap outta it. Buck up, you just bought yourself a high maintenance high performance machine.

Don't think my diffs ever leaked
Will say only part I busted was a plastic C-hub, but the aluminum ones are pretty cheap now that the SCRT came out.

RE: Jammin....
I didn't buy mine new, and they don't leak. After re-building my savage diffs (even with the original gasket) they didn't leak. It just takes some time to go through and do it right I think.

It happens. These things are all just part of the hobby. You should take time and go over every piece of the truck before running it anyway. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I've seen since RTR's came along. Doesn't matter who it's made by. Most of the RTR's are poorly assembled.

I've had the pinions meshed so tight against spurs on one RC I couldn't even turn it. Seen screw holes stripped too.
