I don't know, sometimes things happen that you have to relate to purchase price. These cars are way cheaper in price than a lot of stuff out there. Go buy a E Revo for $670 and more than likely the ESC won't give you any problems. I have a Caldera 10E and also stripped out the front steering knuckles several times. This was the only weak spot I've had on the truck. After replacing them with the factory replacements I eventually swapped them over to aluminum. Since doing that last August the only thing that has broken since has been the front bumper post and a stripped spur gear. Considering you can buy one of these trucks on ebay for around $180 shipped, I'll keep on trucking with my Redcats.
Thats great to hear!! I noticed you watching the forum Dads i was wondering if you would chime in,,, Also very good to know that the aluminum parts fix the problem.
Ive always been leary of adding aluminum parts for fear that something else may break.
I agree that spending 670 buck + on an erevo is a bit absured,, i used to love traxxas back in the day but now a days i think they are over rated and way over priced,,, Ill stick with the odd balls like red cat, himoto, ofna etc,,,
