I have no idea what to tell you about your radio.For ive never had a problem with mine.
Alot of people are switching to good one's,like the FM one's.I will be soon,i'm donating
one of my volcano's to our annual race for the cure,childhood cancer drive.So I want
to make sure that whoever gets it wont be getting a demonic toy,lol.Far as the credit goes,
I can see your point,but I would just go ahead and order something that does break alot.

Like steering arms or door type mounts,clutch slice with spring.As the manual says what they are.
Gotta love those names....Redcat has been very good to me far as things like that.so I dont know
what to tell you....If anything it's always nice to have spares around to cut down on down time of
your rc....
