The only thing is that it's on backorder until the first week of Oct, LOL. It looks like I'm still going to be buying one of the old ones to get me going until then.

He said he didnt think they were doing anything about the issue and didnt think there was an issue. Claimed he would call me back once he asked "someone". Never received a call as of yet.

With the originals, if you grease them properly and space them out on the shaft far enough for them not to bind as recommended here numerous times, they last for 6 months or more. Its the moment they bind when rotating the drive shaft at that front angle that you have a problem and that comes from pushing it too far onto the pinion shaft.

Also, if you spit the pin through the plastic, you can simply dremel a new notch for the set screw in the plastic and rotate it and good as new.

I have no problem with purchasing a new driveshaft or rebuild kit since I definitely agree that this is a wear item. The updated retainer is just another bonus that shows Losi is addressing known issues and making improvements to them.
