I'll keep an eye out but they don't last but a few hours if they become available, if the price is right anyways... Good time of the year to be watching though, good luck!

Did anyone have any issues with build quality?
I've put together and taken apart the diff cases multiple times. Used the shims to make sure the ring gear wasn't binding on the pinion gear. Each time, I get to buttoning the cases together and it binds up the whole diff. This is front AND rear. I know the bearings are sitting properly in the spaces. The two cap head screws at the bottom aren't tight and show a 2-3mm space in the case.
Have any of you used spacers to spread the diff case apart a bit for free rotation? Does it just "break in" after use?

Removed one shim in shaft gear
backed up 1/16 or 1/8 of a turn when tightened
and yes it does need to be run in for the parts to be seated well
after running in you can tighten them again and see if it is better
happened to mine and had to open up the front diff 3 times
was not happy then
I think the reason was the plastics were getting worn out or the palstic spacer in the front was not thick enough
either way backing up 1/18 of a turn out should help

http://www.amain.com/product_info.ph...o-High-Voltage Extremely smooth and powerful servo, I like it alot in the GT.
Other options for 6v application would be Savox 1283
http://www.amain.com/product_info.ph...eel-Gear-Servo
A little more info on your electronics would help but either of these will work. I've gotten about a season worth of hard driving out of the 1283 which aligns with what others have seen. The KO runs and lasts way longer.

It all comes down to what you want to pay for a servo.

I have seen this with new kits a few times. What you need to do is loosen the screws that holds the diff case together about a full turn or until you have free travel. I do this on all my kits On and Off Road. Give it a try and let me know what your results are please.
Would have never though that could be the issue!
