My pleasure, and thanks for the Kudos, Amazing what a little auto paint and time can accomplish. lol
The axle could probably be repaired better than the way I went about it, but I felt this was the best approach to being sure that it didn't fail again. It does seem to drift better though.
Still need to buy a new battery and charger for it. Been procrastinating on that a bit... But the plan is still very much alive and I am even prepared to replace the control board and remote at a later date if the issue I am having with it cutting off mid run... but the battery and charger are an easy place to begin.
I'll keep you posted. Sorry for the LONG delays between posts.
