Fix the issues and then run the $@it out of it. After these few bugs are worked out the truck is awesome well worth the frustration. I felt the same was when I put it on the track and then 2 laps the rear shock ends stripped out. Back to the pit and a quick fix 5 more laps and then one of the inner rear camber bolts backed out. back to the pit a few more laps and then the steering servo horn stripped out. It took awhile to get through a full tank of fuel without any issues. The rear bearings are a big issue. So bad that the King Headz alum rear hub uses a bigger bearing. I fought the rear outer bearings for a month before I upgraded to J-Dub modded hubs. The rear bearings would not last a 30 min main. Now with the larger bearing its no problem. I am telling you though once the bugs are worked out the truck will reward you. It is worth it.
