I use AKA wheels and have zero rub. I wonder if AKA had a batch of wheels that came out "defective"? When I look at the back of the wheel with it mounted, I can still see a bit of the hex sticking out. That's with stock width wheel hexes.

I've seen wheels of various manufacturers eventually build up enough flex to rub on some nasty side landings and stuff, but nothing that makes it normal unless I was blowing an outer bearing so the whole shaft could push further into the hub/spindle.

I measured the depth of the part that mounts on the hub on all my rims. The AKA rims that rub are about 1/2 mm deeper then the other rims. Wheels spin with no resistance. Looks like they only rub when I turn or maybe land. All wheel bearings look good. I also have different style AKA rims that are not as deep and are fine.

because tekno uses very stiff plastics with a rigid construction ! other brands's arms will bend a bit and the rims won't get so much abuse

Stripped Spur Gear
The first problem is my spur is stripped and when replacing im wondering if you guys opt for the metal spur or keep rolling with the plastic one.
The problem appears to be that the pole on my smc motor is moving up and down by like an inch so the pinion slid out of place and tore up the spur.
have you guys seen this before? would it be covered by the smc warranty? im relatively new to rc so ive never heard of this before.
Thanks!

I love SMC batteries, only thing I run.. but I had some really bad luck w/ their motors myself.. I had at least 2 of them basically come apart, manu defect.. I'm pretty sure it was a common problem. This may have been addressed in a more recent version but I'd make sure the back of the motor isn't pulling right off. He did handle the issue with out question, good service A+. Time for a new motor though.. myself I've been using the hobbywings, they are flawless as good as any other if you want super smooth and reliable at a great value. I've run the ebuggy's for 3+ years and never once stripped a plastic spur, the tekno motor mount is great and as long as you verify the motor hasn't moved when you check over your car btw runs or races you won't have issues. The metal spur gear I do run in the truggy, not because I had one strip but just insurance.. they are huge beasts.. lol and I don't want to have a spur end a heat or main for me, that said I know guys who run the plastic and don't have issues, they certainly are much quieter
I always want to have an extra motor on hand for this reason and so im not completely out of commission so which hobbywing one do you recommend? I might just buy that while im waiting for the SMC warranty repair.
Im gonna get one metal and 1 plastic replacement. I hear what youre saying about it going out in a race which would suck.
Thanks all

Do a lot of people run chassis protectors? I know this is dumb question but it seems to make it kind of a pain to do maintenance and cleaning
