Default I'm THROUGH with the Tamiya TB02R!

I cant take much more of this. I keep killing the diffs. Whether it's the cap screws or the outdrive cups, something in the front or back diff ALWAYS breaks. This drifter TB02R just munched two outdrive cups (one on the front and back) in two days.
So, I bid you farewell Tamiya TB! Im going to move onto something that can take a little more abuse...

When I locked the rear diff, I broke my outdrive as well.. but that's only when I locked the rear...

I think there's stronger replacement, but I hear ya...

I never had problem w/ the diff screw, though...

So you are going to sell it?!

Thats the funny thing Lunch, it has the evo rear diff cups. Granted, they are strong AND they have that plastic ring to keep the ears from breaking off but it didnt fare too well this session. I think I will repair it and sell the rolling chassis.

hope thats a little joke.....because I just recently converted it to a drifter. Before, in touring form, it snapped cap screws and broke drive cups with more ferver
