Hi Folks,

I am new to this forum, crawling, and r/c in general.

Anyways, I purchased a 1/8 Super Crawler a few weeks ago and have used it four times now. The fourth time was in 54 degree weather when the side chassisof the crawler hit a rock. The <u>rear wheels were on the ground</u> with the front wheels climbingthe rock when it slipped off. I heard a loud pop and new right away it wasn't a good noise. Long story short, a screw that secures a shock absorber to the side chassis broke in half leaving me with half a screw still threaded in the side that I'm unable to get out.

It wasn't a hard hit at all and am pi$$ed that Ihad to pay $5 for a new side chassis because a &lt; $.05 screw failed to take minor trauma. Did I purchase a lemon or what's the deal? After seeing several reviews by Squirrel and others I had some confidence in RedCat products that lead me to buy the S.C.

Anyone have similar experiences? Is there a set of screws you recommend to replace the cheapos with?

Thanks!
