I'm pretty sure I need new spyder gears for the front and rear. I only got a look at the front ring and pinion, and they are fine. Didn't get a chance to look at the rear, because I stripped my hex drivers...


about the Rx, I told you I checked the pack right before I did the first tank, well.. after you left, I checked it again, it had no charge left on it (and its a 2700Mah pack not even used for a gallon )

Well... at least I have a spare receiver in case I rip the antenna out again

Thats why I kept asking how you checked it...not that I didn't belive you or anything...it just seemed like it would be voltage related.

The 2mm screws that hold the ring gear to the diff cup sheared off, so I'm having obsessive order me the FLM diff cup w/ 3mm screws. It should be a while before that breaks.

If my CV-RX dies again, I have another one sitting here, broken in.

If my spektrum receiver breaks again, I have a backup.

besides that, the only thing I see breaking would be arms (easy) and servos.

The one thing I really don't like fixing/setting up myself are the diffs, because when I do, they don't last long. This time really got to me because the front broke before I even had the engine broken in.

NOW, if the predator chassis or VBS breaks....

so pretty much it's just the diffs? Save up for some UE's and you'll never have to worry again.
