Whats the worst case scenario, it breaks and you go to hobbytown and buy the center drive shaft, or best case, it holds together?

lol you wont catch me in a hobbytown.

If i like it enough to want to keep it ill just upgrade it to the metal drivetrain form HPI. Im no "experienced" on road guy so I wouldnt probably be able to tell the difference between it and my TC5 lol. As long as it goes straight and turns when i want it to im sure ill be happy lol

Mine wont be ready for USGT for awhile. Got 2 more VTA cars to finsih so my sons can be running so between that and lifting my real truck my money is tied up for a bit. Trying to make some trades in the FS section to save some money so I can get them all done quick
