The track is indoor and looks pretty compact.

Many have not had any issues with the center drive shafts and the plastic sleeve. some have shot out the pins over time. There is another design with a setscrew to hold the center coupler pin in place but anyone running CVD's know this is not always the answer as this option can fail just as well. Parts will wear out over time and need to be replaced. You can't expect everything to last forever!
With all due respect, Your missing the point ?
Many have had issues within a couple packs, myself included. I'm not a noob nor a pro driver but I'm very detail oriented having ben in this Hobby for 25yrs, befor I even ran my trucks I rebuilt my F&R cvd's with teflon grease and a boot to retain the lubricant and repel dirt. Broke a F&R coupler befor the 5rd pack.
User error, doubt it.
Another Losi over sight due to Chinese QC ? Afraid so.
If I'm expecting to much from the company whom I feel makes one of the best RC's on the market and they expect me to be loyal then they damn well better replace it if it's a manufacturing defect.
Traxxas would, why not HH & Losi ?

They sell bearings for everything imaginable with no real knowledge of RC applications.
In all fairness, Boca isn't targeting RC specifically so the rep being unaware is understandable.
I have to say they botched a order for me as well, just sent the wrong items but they quickly sent the correct bearings out, gave me a $20.00 credit which I used immediately while on the phone w/them AND let me keep the wrong bearings I received which I sold on ebay for 28.00.
Win Win IMO ?

Avid; way more RC friendly and better prices with the package deals they offer. The revolutions hybrid bearings are a pretty cool idea as well.

Because most guys trust American made tempered steel parts made at higher tolerances in their diff cases rather than Chinese aluminum and stamped steel parts made by children in sweat shops

I already said if something broke in a few runs, of course we would CS it. We stand behind our products. That should be evident as I am in here. You are missing the point a little i think. And if you pushed the coupler back onto the shaft too far, it certainly could be user error. As far as you getting into where things are made again...not going to touch that. That is your thing.

I am tired of the children and sweat shop comments...if you continue to slander the company, I will be sure the moderators are aware of it. I have been there and seen it and there are no children, and they make a very good wage, and have free boarding.

That does not make it a necessity, it still makes it an option. When a new guy comes in asking for the necessities...that doesnt make the list. Serrated wheel nuts are more valuable in comparison.

As far as american versus whoever, I drive an american car to support america. I can say, love the car, but now that it has hit 130000, I wish it were something else as I know it would still be good for another 150k, lol.

These are M2.5 x 10mm but 12mm length will also fit.
