Either way you have to replace, Aluminum $30, plastic $5. I have no problem with plastic either.

Good luck getting the ballstud threads out unless they're longer and can run through the other side...but these hubs don't look like that is the case. Either you take a dremel disc to it or you replace the expensive aluminum hub.

I really like the stock axle design...never been a fan of the clamping hubs.

saddle pack makes the car very good here is my latest setup, btw don't forget to make sure you have your radio set to 120% or max on the steering throw, as I reset my model and had mine at 100% and thought i had a bad push. Then i had a moment and remembered to set it right, lol

i would post it but its bigger than the limit, lol
