Ballistic, thanks for the info. Nothing wrong with color. Should look great on one of my display cars.
Stulec.....my apologies...I was talking about the motor pinion gear and the main spur gear. Don't give up on the EVO just yet. New things are becoming available as we speak. Contact V12...he has a friend that makes a nice 1 way unit. I've heard nothing but good things about it. There is a new fix coming soon that uses the TC3 gears. Wait a bit more and info should become available. And don't forget that Tamiya may be big and a bit slow to respond....but you can bet they know of the problem and will come up with a new design OR maybe even a new car !!
RC Mania....Has anyone asked what this noise sounds like??? Can you describe it?? Does it happen when you bench test the car or only when it's on the race course??? Did you check the FRONT 1 way diff gears??? Does it make this noise if you seperate the motor from the drivetrain and spin the rear tires forward ????
