I'd buy it, but then Associated is quality stuff, not like the plethora of stuff out there that is break and toss stuff. I still have my old rc10, and I mean the 6 gear model, and I have beat it...

I know in the beginning days of brushless, cogging was a big issue for sensorless. Hence, sensored motors. It shouldn't be much of an issue today, but then I suppose if the motor is super cheap,...

No, they just wear at different rates. The plastic will wear faster, to be sure, but it will still wear the anodizing off the shock body. If the shock is hard anodized, then the anodizing will last...

Depends on the shock. A plastic will, a regular anodized will, just not as fast. Now, hard anodized take much longer to wear out. But, ANY moving part WILL wear out sooner or later.

You are putting WAY too much thought into this car. I have 2 of them and the steering has a ton of slop, no matter what you do with the stock system. There is an aftermarket system that you could...

Oh they work ok, but even when compared to my old 75mhz crystal futaba, the range isn't as good. Then there is the build quality. I pick up a futaba, and it feels solid. Now, this isn't just...

One of these days I should get back into the Futaba game. These cheap flyskys and such just don't do it past a couple hundred feet.

I think rc changed with the number of bashers out there. Used to be a fair mix, but now there is a flood of cheap chinese cars out there that you just run till they break. This, I think, has both...

Ok, well not sure about the recoil, but it is usually a broken spring. As for not moving, depending on the age, the clutch is a common culprit. It is a centrifugal clutch, and so spreads as the rpm...

I had to look at the tire to see what you mean. I suppose those could slip. I've had block and pins on carpet and have too much grip. Have you run them on carpet already, just to make sure you do...

Take the motor off the mount and hold it in your hand. Now use the throttle for a few seconds. Does the esc still get really hot? If it still does, my money is on a bad esc. Back in the day of 7cell...

A 390, small for a 1/12 scale. I'd measure the motor mount and the space around it and see if a 540 size would fit. Of course, you'd need a new esc for brushless motors, regardless of the size.
