I guessed that they are designed on the silver can platform

Just checked my diff gear, everything is fine. Maybe it has something to do with driving style too, I always try to be as gentle as possibe with the throttle.

What bodyshells do you guys use? I always use Mini shells, at the moment I have a Montech Turbo Spidy. Itīs very light, but quality wise a Tamiya Racing Mini would have been a better choice.

Looks good! I only use the Tamiya Rover Mini bodies on all my m-chassis. If I get the ABC kit, then I would probably try the CivicR body though.

I suggest getting a small parts box worth of wear parts in your arsenal. Just keep it around for just in case, so that you can minimize down time. There is a part that I ordered from a Japanese hobby shop that is taking over 20 days to get delivered... Luckily, I have spares to use for the time being, but if I didn't that could be a frustrating 20 days+

I actually did, for the very first time ever.

I just didnīt think about getting a diff housing as spare. My 20-year(or so)-old M-01 still uses its original gear diff. Ok, it might be used only 5 years because at some point I put in a ball diff and I didnīt use the car at all for some years, but still.

I run tamiya mini shell and motech spidi shell tried ball diff which held out all night which is more than gear did mind you there is a lot of light contact at our club my spare I order from germany they come in three days as tax is paid so no holdups in customs

Do you order your spares at www.emt-versand.de?

Yes I do first class service from them I belive they are awaiting restock

I Drove the ABC Colt with Lights buckets @ Home .. and For Track Running... I use the Colt "Porsche"...

Will release its 190mm version too:

Thatīs interesting. And with the release of the grande gambado chances are good that the "mini" gambado wonīt be discontinued very soon.

Yes, I've had this happen to me too. I had everything except for the one piece that broke!

Lessons learned, I will be buying 2 kits at a time from now on for chassis that I REALLY like. One will be a spare.

Nice! That's good to hear you can get parts real quickly too.

This is a TC size then? Wish they would release an updated version of the Genetic instead?.. (yes, I am selfish )

Yep, you right.
Has more market coverage to sell a 190mm 4wd than FWD.

Grande Gambado.. looks like just a longer wheelbase version...
They will be competing against something like MTS FF / 3Racing Sakura FF 2014 / Tamiya FF03 EVO / S411 FF / VBC FF12

I wondering how is going to be different between the M Chassis version and Regular 190mm version? And will it inherit the same gear chew issue?

I wonder if the pricing will be similar to Original Gambado itself ~$110 USD... as 4WD I am already running a TRF419...

Oh, gear problems.
Well only 1 picture, who knows the details?
By the way, since is gear car, i think is not easy to beat belt cars like FF12 and FF Pro.
