Default RE: The Official Traxxas 4wd Slash Thread...


ORIGINAL: it8ezbngrn

IS there a problem. I'm talking to a guy who has a Platnum and hes telling me that he had to get new parts under warranty. Maybe he's blowing smoke not sure. Anyone?
There are many reports of stub axles bending and breaking on the PE's. It's the metal part that the wheel mounts on. It almost seems like there is a bad batch.

Others have reported that the body seems really thin.

If you do get a PE, make sure to check all screws and loctite the aluminum parts. I've also read that the body mounts come loose but these are minor issues.
