I've also been through about 5 of the rolled axle pins in about 1 month. I just purchased some STRC aluminum hexes and MIP axle pins to see if that resolves the problem. Unfortunately, I was only able to run them for 2 runs before the stock Reedy 3300kv motor decided that it wanted to end this world and leave in a puff of smoke before the triple.

Last night, the stock servo in my SC10 4x4 failed in the same manner and in the same place as the stock servo in my SC10RS. Medium jump before a sweeper to the left. Picked up a Savox 1256 from the local Hobbytown on my way back home.
yeah, the rtr electronics are not up to par. IMO there really is no need for rtr with the better/cheaper Chinese stuff. If I bought an RTR, I would ebay the electronics and buy what I wanted.
