Couldn't tell you. I haven't had it long enough to say for sure, but I bought a used one of unknown origin for my 2w and it was exactly the same in so far as centering as the new one.

I have had my truck for about two months, and have four race days on it. Two seven minute qualifiers, one ten minute main, and whatever practice I run on it. Other than mess with the motor and adding some lead here and there, I haven't worked on it a lick other than blow it off with the air compressor. So to whoever said the truck is hard to work on:

The truck is not hard to work on, and even if it was, you never really have to work on it.

I've done so little maintenance to it I got to feeling a little guilty. I'd never even changed the shock oil! So I expected that gray mud to come out when I changed it this morning.

Nope. It looked like I just put it in - perfectly clear! Those shock boots really work. My 2w can't go two days and not have the shocks junk. Not to mention I had to work on the ball diff every couple of days because it got notchy.

My belt tunnel is starting to warp. I have looked at it every run since I got this truck, but my last track day I made contact (hit) a turn marshal five seperate times (don't ask) and I think that did it in. I proactively fixed it with a 4-40 screw and a couple of old Losi shock spacers, preloading the pin so it straightens the tunnel out. I'd of used a metric screw, but I didn't have one.
