DRIVE SHAFT UPGRADES ARE A MUST. I HAVE GIVEN MINE QUITE A BIT OF ABUSE AND IT IS HOLDING UP WELL SO FAR. MAKE SURE YOU LOCK-TITE (REMOVABLE) ALL NUTS THAT ARE NOT NYLON, THEY RALLY LIKE TO COME LOOSE. ESPECIALLY ON THE UPPER LINKS. WHAT MOTOR AND GEAR SETUP ARE YOU RUNNING?

Set up the 4WS with a Futabe 3PM-MX radio system. This thing is really frickin cool. No problem with the turning radius now and the crab walk is neat too. Man, I can crawl up just about anything.
