As far as the rear wheel hubs stripped out, are you guys getting them replaced by Associated or just having to bite the bullet and pay for a new set? I've got two sets and all four of them are stripped out. I was reading in (what I think is) the latest issue or RC Car Action that recommended fixing the stipped hubs using Quick Steel Plastic Repair. It seemed to work on one of them until the plastic repair stuff de-bonded from the hub and stayed attached to the pin. LOL

Anyway, does anyone know if AE is recalling them or anything of that nature? Just seems like a waste of money if I can't get these fixed or replaced. They were, like, $22 for the pair at Hobby People. Wish i'd known about the JB Weld trick before i'd mounted the second set up. I'd have done the JB Weld on the hub and not wasted the second pair i'd just bought.

It ticks me off that AE knows they're a problem but there's nothing on their website about it.
