X2  You might also consider some better bearings as well. The stock Berg/NewAge bearings SUCK, and will develop serious slop over time. Only failures I've ever had was a 3rd gear stripping, and a broken bone. Both times I was REALLY asking for it   , & thats over HOURS & HOURS of runtime!!I Can't say that about any shafty I've ever ran  |

I agree, if you have some extra cash laying around than replace all the bearings you can. I have exploded two bearings in mine. Both times would have caused some serious failures if i didn't catch them before running.

inners,inners and more inners. IMO,the stock inner shafts are junk. In just a few months at most,I've put almost a dozen inner shafts in mine. Chewed the teeth up a bit on all the gears in my front axle not halfway through my first pack after building mine. I think that was from a faulty pinion though. Put actual Berg pinions in it and it's been good as far as that's concerned. Ain't had troubles from the stock stubs though. Never broke a inner shaft or stub on my Axial,and I was running allot more motor.  |

Is having a set of gears really nesessary? I mean do they break like a lot, or on rare occasion? Im going to get some axle shafts, and already got the Axial outers, but the gears are expensive if its something you dont really need on hand. |

Weird. I would think that the stubs would let go first. I've wadded mine up pretty good an hammered on it, but so far nothing has broken... just a matter of time though my rig is somewhat new still.

I'm used to crawling with rigs built with 1:8 scale buggy parts. You just power through everything. These little axles just can't take it. | |
