Hmmm......well let me tell you what I've replaced on mine within a month. Vanquish hubs (factory stripped) MIP drive shaft ( snapped atleast 10 plastic ones) HD Ring and pinion Steel rear differential cover RPM lower arms Axial titanium front links Axial titanium rear links Aluminum steering rack Vanquish double sheer steering rack kit Vanquish knuckles Servo stripped on me today. I beat on mine pretty hard. All the links and steering upgrades I got to tighten the steering up a little as its a little sloppy. The main things I've broke are the hubs, stripped ring and pinion, stripped spur gear, busted a arm, and the driveshaft has been the worst problem. I got some hd traxxas parts and pieced together a rear shaft and I snap them like crazy too. Just put the MIP rear shaft in today to take care of that problem. It's a money pit. But it's a fun money pit. Oh yeah, I've replaced the wheels and tires too. Stock tires have a problem with coming off the rim. I glued mine and they did awesome. |

| Re: Gunder463 Yeti On The Way. I'm just the opposite here... I locked the front of mine up and since I've broken one traxxas differential output shaft and bent both of the traxxas CVD's up front. While the stock rear driveshaft hasn't given me one problem... yet. (I am underdriving the rear though)
