man, seems like the similiar issues that im having with my truck are very common.....was there a bad batch of them made? this seems like it says a lot about quality assurance. parts should not break this soon, and the fact that myself and others have to spend the time tearing it down and money for postage to mail the parts back is very annoying.....espically after paying 600 dollars for something. (i could have simply gotten a cheap T-maxx, but i wanted the best and expected the best, so i was fine with paying a good chunk of change, because i was trying to avoid similiar issues....)


on a side note, good luck with your ride, check out my post for more info....and thanks again guys for your replies and help with the diagnosis.
