And Doug, I called associated about the servo and he agreed with me that it's a rare occurrence these servos go out like that. He said he's been running them for 3 years and never had a problem.
I shipped it out today. Should be there Wednesday. When I called the guy said they usually just replace them with a new servo. Broken gears arent covered under the lifetime warranty.

Received my FT front knuckles and rear hub carriers and weighed them for all you guys!
Rears - Stock 11.4g, FT 18.4g - 7g more for the Aluminum. For sure they are stronger and they also give you one more camber adj hole.
Fronts - Stock 18.4g, FT 11.6g - 6.8g less for the Aluminum over the cast ones.
Sounds like a better deal on the fronts. For the rears see if they break or if you need the extra adjustment.

I can post pics if anyone wants.

Here are the pics:










My soldering skills are pretty rusty, so no crap about the solder job on the motor.
The wire is the Tekin 12ga stuff supplied with the ESC. I would like a little longer power wires, so I ordered some Deans Wet Noodle wire. I really would like to use this 10ga Viper wire, but it just seems to large for the Tekin posts. I'm not sure how I can successfully install the 10ga wire.
I did NOT paint the body. I'm all thumbs when it comes to paint. Larry @ KustomRCGraphics did the paint work. http://www.rctech.net/forum/painting...s-com-107.html Worth every penny! I loaned out my Dremel so I wasn't able to get the body nice and smooth yet.
Wheels and tires are AKA. AE mods include the front and rear FT knuckles, FT chassis braces, and a few other parts. The motor is a Tekin T8 2050kV, ESC is obviously an RX8. Grid mount with the center diff riser removed as well. DE front and rear skid plates, and I have some dirt shields to install.

Dang Gregg, what kind of track was it, a mud bog?? 
It's clean now because I had just finished cleaning it since I had to remove the radio and battery tray to do the servo wire shortening and RX8 install.
