I wish I could get my hands on your truck, I'm confident I could set the perfect mesh for you. Its so hard to explain in text form how to do it right. I had the same issues at first. Then I switched to steel spur and hardened bell out of frustration. It allowed me to have more fun and less down time. Eventually I developed an affinity for meshing. When I switched back to plastic I had no more problems that were not due to how abusive I was with my savage.
