wow, I never had trans/axle issues with my super.

Anyway, its not that old so fill out redcat's warrenty form (if you havent already) on the ESC and radio.

Does your have the FM, or the 2.4ghz radio? The FM's were not that hot, but the 2.4's tend to work good.

Another option with the ESC is the outcry duel motor ESC from RC4WD. its $60. It can handle upto 4s lipo! It has drag brake, no delay reverse, and turbo BEC. Turbo BEC makes it so that when you are on the throttle, the servos still get full power.

Wow thats kinda bad to hear. 6 problems in 3 weeks. You would hope that for $300 they could pump out a rock crawler (that isnt a state of the art performance vehicle) that could go a few runs without destroying itself. I only bought one Redcat car (because I didnt know any better) but I never will again. Ive had my own share of problems that shouldnt have been.

Which is now why my Tornado S30 is a combination of Redcat, Losi, Traxxas, Arrma, Proline, and J-concepts parts. :D
