Yea, kinda remember that from experience (stripped diff also). That's why those old manuels (new ones too) always mention to glue the tires. Those old Tamiya cars were and still are pretty indestructable. I stil have an old Hornet that my brother bought second hand over 17 years ago! I passed through a couple of owners and it made it's way back to me. It still a runner.................
