There are I am sure setups for the XXXTCR for outdoors as well on the site. You just need to look more closely. As for the ballstuds are you sure you used the right ones? If it required that many washers I am sure they should have supplied longer ones you probably used somewhere else. The rear T plate sounds like you had a pretty hard rear end landing. I really don't understand how you broke a diff gear. I have never done that one myself. I would assume it was not put together properly. I agree things are not good at Losi but some of the issues you describe sound like operator error. As for the charger, you get what you pay for. There are issues with AE too if you talk to the right people. With everything coming from China or what ever asian country, you are going to have to expect this type of quality. Horizon pretty much is degrading the Losi name, hence why the Losi family got out. It is all about the bashers and quick money.
