Since I dropped about $80 on spares, I haven't broken a thing...

The Xray Xtra stiff servo saver works well with this car. We tried the Kimbrough and found it too soft to work right.
My buddy is running a R1 in VTA and has yet to break much of anything........ and he is rough on the car. I will add that he put an RPM TC3 bumper on it and has gone several months without any breaks.
On setup...... we started with the stock setup and added some shims to raise the rear roll center for VTA and swapped the AE springs....... green and silver. It has been a joy to race all season.
Hope this helps......

I didn't like that screws and I took flat head with FH washers and put fuel tube under it. So we have much bigger spot of contact.
Sorry for my english...
Today we found that steering plates with small bearings differs greatly one to another. One - much play, another - no play at all.

battery holder: I glued an old plastic nitro throttle servo arm under the belt to hold the battery
breaking driveshafts: just replace the drive shafts and front spool outdrives with xray parts and you are good to go and still saving money

I found specR steel spool cups on rcmart. But no info on specR.

Managed to build a full driveshaft out of the three broken ones. Decided to buy parts instead of a full kit, it was the postage costs which swayed the decision, plus I'd have loads of bits I wouldn't need.
Replacing with Xray parts - I understand your point, but even if the Spec R S1 is a cheaper option, it still should be fit for purpose, and not need to have parts replaced every week. I hope that the car settles down and I don't have to keep spending to replace broken parts, or I will start to regret buying the cars.

Which driveshafts are you breaking? The black "Sport" model or the gold spring steel upgraded ones?

I broke a stock shaft and replaced it with these. No problems since.
