|  Kinda thinking now this was a bad choice
I guess you get what you pay for. Yesterday my son wanted to play with his cc that he got for his b-day on the 3rd. He has not really drove it a hole lot and the transmitter go's bad. So I swap the crystals with mine and he's back to work. Well today he want's to play with it and I get him going he comes back in about 10 min later and stripped two teeth off the idler gear while I was figuring that out I see all 4 shocks are leaking. Is all this normal for the cheep little b@st@rds? Dave O also forgot to mention it was missing the transmitter antenna when we got it. Last edited by TimberKrawler; 10-14-2009 at 09:58 PM. |

Contact Duratrax (Great Planes) and let them know ... they should take careof you. I was missing one of the steering links and then sent me two replacements free of charge.

I guess I got lucky with mine I didn't have any issues until I upgraded to bigger motors and ESC.

Bought one for my Daughter last week and so far its great. Maybe yours was made on a Friday and they were in a hurry to get home  I'm sure there are a few duds out there but as they say call them and they will hook you up with replacement stuff.

Ordered 2 steel replacement idler gears today. One to replace the broken idler gear and one for a spare. I figured if his broke mine will be next. I also figured the oem transmitter is kinda junk so I am not going to try to have it warrantied. I found two Traxxas Tq2's with receivers on e-bay for cheap so I bought them. I think at this point I am going to only replace cheaper parts and make no great dollar upgrades unless they can be used on my other project. At that point when time comes my cc will become a parts truck for my son's. At this time I will ether finish my scaler or save up and buy a good crawler. Dave |

awh man, save up and buy a better crawler:-( 1/2 the fun is finding the limits & staying at 9/10's right? only thing left on mine is the esc and...axles. all done pretty cheap. cheaper if i paid 50 for a prebuilt but then i would'nt have had a baseline. oh well. i sorta went your route. bought stuff that will work with parts that would eventually be in there. damn near a comp rig minus the axles, motors & esc. getting the bully's next month. at this point i'll have another stock cc sitting on the shelf  oh yeah i do still have the cc body on there- cut and clearenced and lowered. |

If your getting metal idlers, you'll be metal everything else soon. I ate through all my gears pretty quick after getting it.

Every one says get a better one. Well I already have a better one but for $130.00 CDN you cant beat it. You have to understand it does have limits. And half the fun is modding it to work better.

This will work out good though. I can still mod mine and stock pile my left over parts for my son's. then when time comes I can transfer what parts I want to what ever I upgrade to and he will have mod parts, stock parts well parts to break. Dave | |
