Thanks, I appreciate that. I sent an email to customer support on Saturday with my issue and my address. I'm sure they will respond tomorrow. You might consider calling AMainHobbies and having them throw a pack of shims in the box (they have the shims in stock).

Okay well I sent you guys a email. I am sure mine will need the diff shims and the case. I got my et48 right as they where just getting out so I am sure I have the bad shims as well. Hope to get it all back together and going before the races this weekend.
also does anyone have a setup sheet for this besided the one in the back of the book I have not been able to find anything and have looked all over. thanks

Before this issue we did not see any broken bulkheads so we are pretty sure any recent breakage of the bulkhead is related to this issue. Thanks.

Really frustrated with tekno support, not worth it to deal with them over the rear gearbox. You spend 600 on a roller n they want u to pay on the shipping to get it and back.
Any other company I've dealt with takes care of it expescially if it's not your mess up. Anyone want to buy a et48?

Yep I was confused. Easy to do with all the esc's hobbywing makes. It even seems like the original posters are getting the ezrun confused with the xerun. Hope to trade the ezrun out with a friend for his hobbywing sct esc/xerun.

What was your exact problem? It seems very strange that they're asking you to pay for anything that is a known issue with one run of parts. Especially when noone else has had to pay for it.

Also worth noting if you stay away from Savox servo's and you won't typically have BEC issue in any setup. Savox are literally the most inefficient servo's you can buy.. why do you think they are so cheap. Will they work.. sure will they ever be in any of my vehicles? Not unless they start paying me to race um LOL.

I got the 1271SG. Running through a mamba monster 2 internal BEC running at 7V. Other specs are 2200kv castle motor, futaba R603FF, turnigy 20C 4s 5800mah lipo, 15T pinion.
I got the servo from eBay and it came with a racers edge glitch buster cap. I used it because even castle support themselves said that the savox are so inefficient that I would need an external BEC. I haven't tried it without the glitch buster, but I've had zero issue so far. This was so much to my surprise so I'm stoked, because I cbf wiring up a separate BEC.
I don't understand why I would get a hitec that costs 3x the price with half the rated speed/torque...It's probably one of those things like I haven't experienced the ultimate quality yet, so I don't understand. But is it really worth that much more?!
If I had my time over, I would've got a stronger servo. This one is OK, but once those big wheels get some rpm I could use a little more torque!

I had heard this over and over (particular in relation to castle ESCs) and was pretty worried, I'm having pretty good luck so far
