I've had my .2e for 6 months now, new from amazon for 440. Amazing truck really, like most I've broken nothing beyond the front bumper. I live 10 miles from t bone racing so I just went in and bought the basher bumper, saved on shipping. Stock servo was dead out of the box and I had a savox and another ae servo go up in smoke pretty quick too. I didn't listen to the advice and ran my rtr without going over all the screws to metal with thread lock. Lost both lower steering block screws and bushings within 5 minutes. Grub screw came loose from rear input cup, tossed the shaft, cup and bearing bashing in the street.

My diffs were also missing the second set of washers behind the outputs, found out after my diff leaked out after 30 packs. Ae sent me 3 rebuild kits and oil, very happy with their customer service. They have replaced 2 of my servos now as well, upgrading me to the ds1510 last time. Savox 251 is doing fine with glitch buster installed so the 1510 is sitting as backup.

The sc1300bl esc and reedy 2000kv motor have done their job. As long as I am conservative with my throttle and don't run to long in 80f+ temps my motor stays cool enough. It does seem like a hot running motor but it's pushing a 10 lb truck around at 40mph. Winter now so temps of my electronics aren't an issue, geared 18/46 for cold weather.

I heard over and over that the top plate and motor mount MUST be upgraded, simply not true at least for me. I am not really one to be swapping pinion gears all the time so the adjustable mount was just not worth it imo. Same with the top plate, why fix something thats not broken.

Anyway it's been a great truck, never fails to put a smile on my face and impress others. My rc18t was my first hobby grade rc and the .2e was my second, big difference there. 18t feels like a toy comparatively. Let's hear some more about these great trucks. Cheers.
