LOL , yeah ..... always loctite the set screw on the pinion . Or any metal into metal screws for that matter .......
Glad to see you are enjoying the truck , I was a nitro head for a long time till I moved to where I am now and the neighbors started to complain about the noise , before that I hated electrics cause they had no power and short runtimes (and they did) . But brushless motors and LiPo batteries have changed all that .
Now I set out lights when it gets dark and keep running cause they dont mind the electrics at all .
