|  Have you gotten your upgraded chassis?
My buddy has broken both the axles in his crawler, and his knuckle was showing some wear, but Nylint told him they couldn't send him an upgraded chassis, they only sent the new axles. For those of you who got an upgraded chassis, what did it take for you to break for them to send you one? I haven't broken anything yet, but I expect to, so I would like to have the better one. Thanks, Christian

Was it easier to call them or email? The axle hasn't broke yet, but we will see after my cousins get a hold of it tomorrow, so I figure I might as well get one on its way. The knuckle is already turning white from all the strain on it.

I always have had better luck calling them. It's faster. They are all great poeple over there. So just give them time. I'm sure there busy.

According to my friend who got new axles from them, the new axles were completely re-designed with no pins or plastic but had splines instead. Maybe it had plastic, but I know for sure he said it was splined without pins. Kinda funny that yours has pins.

I took my axle apart again to look to be sure I knew what I was talking about and I do see what your friend was talking about I think. On the old axles on the low gear assembly it was made of plastic with a pin through it and had a plastic sleeve around it. The pin or plastic would break there. On the new axles it is made of metal in that particular part I didn't take it apart any futher so I don't know how it is attacked to the axle shaft. Maybe this is where it is splind where I thought it was pinned since I didn't take it all the way apart. The other pins I was talking about are at the end of the axles where the stub shafts on each side mount into. Those look to be the same on both new and old axles. That is where I made my aluminum sleeves to fit over the pins. The pins puts alot of stress on the slot the pin rides in and the aluminum sleeve keeps it from spreading. Look on an other thread here call "I broke my front axle" Camojc has a picture on that thread on what I'm talking about. His broke where the pin slides in the slot. He had the up graded chassie. Hope this clears up on what I was trying to tell and yes I do see what your friend might of been talking about. Gary | |

Wow...just wow. Why do people want to try to take advantage of Nylint? "I'll get'm on the way just incase." You guys DO realize that folks from Nylint are on the forums, right? |

I got my upgraded the other day and I am not impressed. My rear axle started not to work just like the original. I have not even climbed anything with it. I dont know if I got a bad one, but I am very disappointed. I have not even been able to use a full battery charge with it and its been almost 3 months. I quess I will be calling them once again and see what they can do. The steering is not any better either.

Um... Folks break Clod axle tubes every week. You don't see us calling Tamiya asking for free replacements. Rationalize it all you want, I think it's wrong. |

I don't think having axles warrantied (sp?) is wrong if that is their decision to send them to you. But then again I didn't think getting replacement parts ahead of time for something that is guaranteed to break was wrong either...so who knows...

My vote is your an idiot.I mean really it only cost you what 200 bucks and your whineing about a broken axle I guess next time I break an axles in my 600 buck clod I will call tamiya and see what they do.Its people with this mind set that put companys out of buisness.I have had unpleasnt dealings with nylint but then they made it right yes but from the sounds of it you kids are taking advantage of them.

I think nylint needs to get these parts out to the hobby shops and quit giving them away. I love my nylint, and I would love to see them evolve into more vehicles and designs. All these morons taking advantage of Nylint's customere service is going to put a damper on the future of these crawlers.
