Default I've heard of micro-t transmission problems...Is it true?

I've had my micro-t for awhile and the transmission has been okay, but I'm wonderering that if I where to put the new losi 1/36 brushless and lipo in it would the transmission be blown to peices or would it hold up? Also are there any tranny durablity upgrades that would come in useful?

Thanks.

the bushing in the transmission wears out easily. you can get a 3racing aluminum transmission that has bearing instead of bushings. that will help. i personally think the radio is horrible. that is the main reason i haven't run mine in a very long time.

I bought the Lipo right after I got my Micro T and the tranny held up fine for quite a few runs .

I have the 3 Racing tranny case and the Atomic BB motor now and it has more runs on it than I can remember .
