Did you guys put locktite on that big nut that goes on the bottem of the steering assembly? With the pressure of that spring along with the O ring in there it was pretty difficult to screw in. I had to use a pliers and got it all scratched up. I thought I was cross threading it but I wasn't. Seemed odd it was so hard to screw on and take off.

i personally did not. there is an o-ring that fits inside the nut so it holds onto the threads and won't back off (theoretically)

Can't ask for much more than that. The 5000 50C and lower Gens Ace packs are a different story, though. I will not run those in 4wd SC, the power demands are too high. I've puffed and desoldered the connections inside several Gens 40C and 50C 5000 packs, and the ones I have left are relegated to other stuff, like the Emaxx, 2wd SC, or my touring cars.
The only good GA pack I got now is the 65C 3s. The rest are in salt and disposed of. Reason being they dont balance at all anymore. The IPs are genuinely better and almost as cheap.

really? They are designed and built here in the US? Do you know the PCT assembled in the US? I know sometimes things come in like 5 parts from china and snapped together here and called made in the USA. I realize that component will come from china, japan, USA and other. But are they assembled here right down to the chips on the PCB? If thats true, then I will definetly rethink my esc purchasing.
