Well, if that's the case, then I suppose I can give this product one more chance.

Thanks.

We have a few ring gears still just no pinions. Shoot me a PM with your address and I'll send out a replacement.

Well crap! Got my second set installed this weekend (first one failed on the first battery) and I got maybe 1/3 into a fresh pack and it went clicky cliky again. These are in brand new cases and something must be a miss somewhere. Also running Novak bushless Crawler and sticky tires but the factory units seem to last longer. I'm at a loss??? Any Ideas?

We are all waiting

Sounds like there was a part that needed to be made--but something about waiting for an ok to do it--or something to that nature..

RCP doesn't have any due dates as of yet--patiently waiting (and might have to run a set of stockers in the mean time :-( )

That's true we don't ever have due dates. We don't want to give our customers false promises. Trust me though, these will be here very soon.

Your problem is likely the axle houosing. We had one that was rough like you describe. We could not figure out why until we changed out the housing. It was nice and smooth after that.

yeah that could be i just tore down every thing and my front axle is perfect, i thought it was broke or something, very little resistance, but my rear is pretty grindy but most the noise is from my pede tranny that i took apart cleaned and lubed everything and even sounded worse, so im going to get rid of that and try to get some other tranny in there with maybe a dig, not sure yet though but that tranny needs to go
