I'm going to look at the front gears in the morning.

I also have come across the dreaded drive cup spread. And this is only on my 21.5 USGT car. I havn't looked at my 17.5 yet. Does anyone know if Exotek is replacing these for original owners, or do I need to buy a couple?
Those seem to be common issues from indoor board meetings

Mine and others have had the similar results, output shaft can easily be repaired with a gentle squeeze

So much flex in this car, and little give from drive unit

Perhaps the alu chassis will help ?
