The stock spurs are weak. Get the updated gears, they are thicker.
The stock rod ends suck real bad. Use Traxxas, or GS ends. I use GS. No problems at all with them.
The stock screws suck. Plastic thread, they come out really easily.
The axles i've broken a few. They are fine until you hammer the throttle with another truck on you. I really dont feel their that weak.
Parts are NOT easy to get at all. Tower and Speedtech are the best source. Of course Tamiya just started online shopping thru their Tamiya home site. Of course you'll pay full retail.
As for the discontinued parts, it wouldnt surprise me at all to see them discontinue the TNX. They are well known for dropping productst like that. Especially in this category, that really doesnt interest Tamiya, or bring them alot of money.

What are some of the common parts that break on the tnx pro ?
I was reading that they have axle problems ? is that true and how do you fix them ?
are the parts becoming easier to get in stock nowadays ?
it looks like some of the parts for the tnx are being discontinued on tower also . chassis and painted body are 2 of them
i wonder why ?
thanks.
