I'll agree with the T-Maxx Brake Disc mod. That's a good alternative. However, I was originally talking about the as-provided slipper, which is still a pile of junk unmodified.

However, 2 years and counting on my RRP Gen3 in my E-Maxx, no issues. Most of your metal-on-metal bearing killers come from bad meshes and slop. Nitro may also have an issue with all the rotating mass added by the considerably heavier steel slipper/spur combo.
