Anyone else have to send their Micro back?

[The_Madness]

I tore into the transmission of my Micro Crawler only to find that the two internal gears are warped, and possibly the spur as well. I told Horizon about this and they told me I have to send it to their repair department.

From what I understand, they were just sending out gears to the people who had the binding problems.

Has anyone else here sent theirs to Horizon?

nope they sent me the gears and an esc no questions asked seems like they might be a little more cautious now

I changed my slipper to the way that someone else posted on here, that took care of most of the binding issue I had, I also changed to the middle pinion gear. I did notice a slight out of round on the other large gear, but so little, I am not going to worry about it. My run times are better, and power seems better. The only way I will rip into the tranny again is to put in delrin/aluminum whatever aftermarket gears.

I recieved new gears as well. As stated above, I just "rebuilt" the slipper, but didn't end up using the gears, will save for future use

i just emailed them on thursday and today i recieved new tranny gears and new tranny shafts for both of my micros

I had a good truck, radio went bad. Was lucky enough to get an exchange at my hobby shop. New truck had a bad tranny and the esc went bad after one run. Took it back to my shop, exchanged the truck for my original truck and kept the second radio.

Seems like a lot of problems for a new product. It's a great rig when you get it running well. Seems like they rushed it to market. I don't recall this many issues when I purchased my Micro and Mini-T.

Hey,
I have had the same problem. I found this bindings in the "gear box" as u say the tyranny. The middle gear in the gear box is not anyhow properly round. I asked Horizon and so far I understood they sent me gear or whole transmission.
Why this problem happening they don't take care of their product before it's in the market??????

i called them about my tranny and they asked if i would like to send it back and i told them no so they then said they could send out the parts. got he parts about a week later.

i just emailed horizon last night about the gears in the tranny. they sent me a reply asking for my shipping info. said they are sending me new gears asap. however, i hope the shaft is running true or new gears aint gonna do sh-t! we'll see.
