Broken parts so far?

[MCRIPPPer]

Hey. Anyone broke their rig yet? I got an axial capra last month. Equipped with a holmes hobbies stubby 2700+ micro x on 3s. Hitec servo on castle bec at 8v pushing 400+ ozin. so far I have broken a tie rod end, and blown up the ball bearing in the rear pumpkin on the ring gear side. Anyone else break parts yet? Hopefully the rear "diff" doesn't become an issue and was just a fluke. I'm working on overdrive front portal gears made using rr hardened pinions with machined slots and square drive. I also want to kill my own servo mount out of aluminum. I may need to get some clamping wheel hexes since my stub shafts are already distorting pin holes from the torque of the stubby!

Were parts easy to get?

I don’t feel I’m overly hard on my equipment but I haven’t broken anything. I’ve replaced the servo mount with an aluminum SS version, SS MIP driveshafts and replaced the hex’s with a set of the 8mm KNK brass version. I even wheeled it this weekend at Moab without incident.

Same. No issues at all, I’ve been running the spektrum micro servo at 7.4v as well and it’s been holding up.

You could probably build one from scratch (not recommended) with the parts available on RPP.

I snapped my front axle housing. Axial had a new one in my hand within 5 days. Otherwise no problems.

I haven't broken anything but the hearts of those that couldn't follow el chivo.
