| It is the whole reason that I really decided to build this truck now. The box of parts is sitting next to me right now, I am going to get started on installing all the hop ups. Gotta get that Spektrum stuff ripped outta there and pitched STAT!

AARRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!! I am not a fan of Losi right now. Looks like something was tweaked at the factory lately and not for the better. I went to install my new lockers and here is what happened with the slightest input from the screwdriver. |

With how quick those screws broke I doubt that thing would have made it one trip on the rocks. I am definitely pissed. | |

I did have my Dinky MRC laying around still so I had to rape parts off of it :-( So I stole the diff gears out of it, the rear one on it was even too tight. I just gave up for the night on these damn diffs. I went ahead and added the rest of the goodies for now though. I am giving up for tonight. I am frustrated and cranky. |

Wow that is crazy, and definitely sucks to see. I have 4 Losi MRC's and have not had that issue on any of them.

I had pretty piss poor luck with mine as well. I managed to break a few of the dff bolts as well, I sure am not looking forward to building another one of these diffs, thats for damn sure.

| Yup, seems like a machine got tweaked for a little more torque or a little too much locktite or something. I am just disappointed. I am sure Horizon will get it taken care of.

Theres another thread about this same problem. I believe rich from Losi has said that if anything like this happens hit him up and he can see what he can do. If you have a brand new #0 phillips this should help with a little heat to break up the loctite. This is what I will try when I get mine.

Here is the thread I was talking about. He said try a new good driver and that should do it. has anyone else had this issue? I am going to have my soldering iron set to low and have a fresh bit on hand. |

I guess I got lucky with the two MRC's I have but I did notice alot of red loctite when I removed the screws.
