Jilles, how often do you replace the plastic front spool outdrive? I m replacing mine twice every race day, though it looks ok from the outside but after checking it seems like the pin of the CVD slip and creating a nasty scar. This happened even if i m not hitting anything. BTW I usually set my steering EPA to full steering lock to get more steering...could this be the problem? What do you think of upgrading it to a steel outdrive like the one made by TUNE UP R/C?

Which CVD do you use? the stock blue one or the black steel one when using spool? My last race I broke a new 42mm stock one during hard full lock left corner...and thats without hitting anything. Will using black steel one make it more durable?

Thanks.
