I don't know what your experience was, but when my charger stopped charging at 5a, I emailed them about it, sent it to them, and they sent me a brand new one the next week. From what I have experienced, their customer service is great!! They even tested the charger to make sure it works properly.
I broke a diff screw and thrust washer in my 22T first time out, user error, bought a new one and it was fixed. Didn't think about calling TLR to "discuss" the problem... But for a lil over $8, problem was fixed, thankfully my LHS has TLR well stocked!

Im not an an expert diff builder but I've built a lot of Losi/TLR diffs. I always take a long time breaking the diff in and tend to run my slipper on the looser side. With that bring said, I had my inner thrust washer come apart on my 22SCT. I've never had this happen and I'm not trying to place blame on parts.
My question is, what causes the thrust washer to come apart?

Exact same thing happened to me tonight. Getting the truck dialed in and was really feeling good, only to have the diff give out on me. Took it apart and the inner thrust washer was shattered. I've built far too many diffs to really think it user error by over tightening or whatnot as I hadn't touched the diff after thoroughly breaking in on the bench. Basically I had ran about 6 packs or so over two days.
The diff/outdrives wobble in the bearings more than any other vehicle in memory. Not sure that would account for the thrust washer exploding or not, but something worth noting.

Ask for a replacement for a bad part you get a replacement....tell them you broke it you buy the new part.

With no servo saver you'd be looking at stripping servo gears in a good crash. I suppose that's ok for a sponsored pro driver that gets servos for free, but I don't mind a DNF if the alternative is a busted servo.

I'll take the opposite - A wrecked servo instead of a DNF

If you are not getting any binding with the captured rod ends, use them. I had rigged up a set for my SCT, but found that they did bind up more than ballcups and put them on the backburner for now.
Generally if I dont take a good hit I can finish races with the modified ballcup/rack setup. Still pops far too easy (compared to every other car), but workable until a real solution appears.
With the captured ends if you hit something hard enough will just break something else (something has to give - servo, spindle, rack.. something). But servos are pretty strong these days.
I'm with the others as for finishing races over life span of a servo - I'd rather my servo turn into a pile of shattered gears than have my car pulled out of the main for a popped ballcup after spending all day at the track.

I'm confused on the logic of wanting a wrecked servo instead of a dnf. If u wreck a servo u will get a dnf right???
