Good luck with that. LMK how it goes. I've had this problem with all my surface RC's and I've just learned not to run in gravel or get different size wheels that stuff won't get caught in them, even at that it still can happen. There's already so many different wheel sizes available to help fix the problem, I doubt that even with a ton of complaints Traxxas is going to stop production to redesign something after having God knows how many trucks already made and out the door.

With a surface RC this is going to happen no matter what vehicle it is Traxxas or not, you just gotta take it with a grain of salt and move along. It's a minor problem I doubt Traxxas is going to consume there time with, they have bigger and better things to do, Like make money and rc vehicles LOL.
