2-3 Weeks! mine orders usally get hear in 3-4 days! But I live in Illinios and Iowa with my dad.

Also does the MRC super brain 989 need anything to work like a power source? Because the one on tower is 74.99 and I might buy one but If I have to get a power source for it I will just buy the MRC super brain 977 because its only 104.99 and it comes with a power source.

I wish my orders were as fast as yours, but i live in Hawaii. Also, the description of the 989 doesnt say anything about a power source, so im not sure about that one.

The motor sliping out of place would be my guess.

Or he didnt set the gear mesh properly...or his pinion may not be centered. Just a few guesses.

Hey AdonaiRustler I just noticed in the picture of your rusty you still have the plastic sliders on. how do you get a enough power to go 35 like stated in the pede vs. rusty thread? Not trying to be rude just asking because I've broke alot!

Sliders? What are you talking about? Do you mean the plastic Half shafts?

my rustler will do about 35 depending on gearing and i still use the half shafts (sliders) as well they work fine for me . i guess maybe it could be the way i set the slipper clutch is why they have not broken .
