is there anywhere on the net i can find an list of the defective or weak parts on the volcano s30 and the tmaxx 3.3, so i may know what i will have to replace in the future. even though i haven;t been able to break either one of em in due the weather conditions. its been like 20s-30s here lately, and from looks of the weather its gonna be like first or middle of next month before i will be able to break em in.
