Fortunately after a bumpy start with the Baja Rey, things did get better. And agree it’s a pain to do any work on. Didn’t follow the Rock Rey too close, good to read that they did seem to improve things. Still concerned about the the third member having issues with this.
I’m still on fence about buying. The two recent video put me back on hold. I’ve struggled to find decent places to run the 1/10. Baseball field are pretty much only real off road area I’ve got. And to just run this in grass fields doesn’t have the wow factor to me. Will see. Maybe once store gets one I won’t be able to pass.

I think part of the issue is that the bearing is small but also it's a 2s machine but people run on 3S. Add to that it has the same problem as the Yeti in that crap gets thrown into the bearing which is sort of unavoidable. It can be negated with something like bottle top with a hold drilled in it for the pinion shaft but that's not a fool proof solution. Salt water will still get to it easily.

Presumably nobody would know, but what would you guys estimate runtime to be on 6s 5800mAh (2x3s packs)?

Depends on size of area, running full throttle or on/off. I’d hope for 20. I believe the motor/esc are same as the Losi6. That was mostly run wide open, 15-18 was range on 2 5800. With a pair of 9000 20-25 was range.

how come traxxas jumps in the same type of vehicle ??
that can't be just coincidence ! they must have spoken together about it !
like : 1/6 is the future of short course ! we need at least 2 brands to start competitions, the other foolish brands will copy this and we can sue them !!
