I had a gear in my front axle strip, I believe its my low range gear, I'm buying new axles so I'll be able to figure out if it was the planetaries or the low range gear.

I had my truck out tonight and the right nuckle started to deform. The main reason it started to bend was that the axle pulled apart at the joint. The pin was completely out of the cup. As soon as I gave it some gas it pulled itself back together. I kept on wheeling it for a while, but i dont know how long it will last. Metal nuckles would be cool but i dont think it is going to happen. What it needs is a axle shaft that wont pull apart when turned. I am not complaining, For the money this thing is great.

2 out of 3 of my 1:18's are now ratcheting the rear axles. 1 has about 3 packs run, the other about 6. Sent an email to Nylint.

edit: FWIW, I am not complaining about the truck.. for the $$, this little truck rocks, but its got a few weak points that need to be addressed.. Hopefully, these reports will help strengthen the next revision of the truck. Last edited by datz510; 08-30-2005 at 09:26 AM. | |

It would make a differnce. Id just have no high gear in the front axle (never used THIS THING IS MAKE FOR CRAWLIN) The low gear is on the end of the yellow planatary and the high comes off of the black planatary gear. Theres a small squar peice in between the high and low gears on the axle shaft that the gear select rides on. I just need to get this peice off with out breaking it. And yes I need to buy a new camera.   |

My front axle did the same thing, I'd tried to change the high and low gear but the hole in the center of the gear is different. | |

Update on my 2 units. Sent email yesterday morning. No Reply as of yet. However, i called the Cust Support phone # just now, got a person that spoke english that i could understand, discussed the problem, and they will be replacing both at no cost other than me shipping them the two units. I wish all companies were as responsive as this. Good show. |

I wish all companies were as responsive as this. Good show.[/QUOTE] I dont think thats a good sign. From what Ive been reading on here either 1- people are pushing these little things too hard breaking stuff, or 2- they have quite a few issues out of the box. And that is why IMO, they are being so great about part replacement. Look at how many people are breaking the 1/18 and 1/6 in a short amount of time. If they didnt take care of these people e-mailing and calling complaining, they would loose alot of buisness (other than 6-10 year old kids). And how long do you think there gonna keep takin a loss on giving out free parts, eventualy they will charge for this kind of stuff.If customer service wasnt so great with all these parts breaking, would you guys keep investing time and money into these things, and recomending to anyone to go get one??? Im almost affraid to gamble my 48$ on these little things.......but I am getting one tomorrow.........:-P .....Ill take my chances... EDIT:Well after further examination this little thing does very well, awsome rc for 48$......im gonna baby it for a while  .... dont want any breakage.....Nylint:A+++

Both of my knuckles are starting to show severe signs of stress and the "drive pins" for lack of a better term are actually outside the hub on both sides when turned that direction. The rivet that holds the steering arm to the driver side knuckle also popped out. That's easy enough to put back in, but the hub problem gave me what could only be described as death wobble in a 1:1 rig when in high range. Are the customer service guys even reading this anymore? |

I've said it once and I'll say it again. Tighten all the screws right when you buy it. Nearly all of mine were loose, and if your entire truck is loosely built, you will break stuff.
