is this a setup issue im not greasing them in any way when I put them in, unsure if there is an upgrade option or a way to fix this because it is a total pain in the butt
a little black grease or tamiya anti wear grease will help whats happening is the car is equipped with a spool, so when you hit a pipe, your stopping that wheel from spinning while the rest of the drive train keeps going, something as to give and the pin is the weak link. when it looks like your going to hit, back off the throttle
