There must be some kind of weather issues holding up shipments. Parts still aren't here and no updates since getting to Cali .

[corporatelemon]

No thats just cali....I had a box bounce between san fran and l.a. for a week....then it was here over overnight

[460bronco]

Its pissing me off!

[Super]

I heard a lot of other people complaining around the country about that same issue, so you guys aren't the only ones.

My package hit oak creak woot

[TrailDawg362]

I don't know wtf happened in San Fran, but my order fell off the tracking site for a week and showed up today. Did they take a "420" break and forget where they parked the plane?

[TrailDawg362]

Opened up the Yeti today for an autopsy to see what failed yesterday. Plugged in the battery and.......nothing. Competely dead. I tried another pack, and it came to life (for about a minute) and then the magic smoke appeared! The wires got hot and de-soldered one battery terminal . After unplugging the motor from the esc, everything else seems to work. The motor is toast, and I suspect the battery has a failed internal connection. Ahhhh, fun.

Well, I ordered up some hot racing aluminum trans gears for the scx today. Stripped them on the way back to the car yesterday. Tried looking for the steel ones but couldn't find them in stock. I hope the aluminum ones hold up

I'm not using super power, but Harley stopped using the Robinson 1 piece and stuck with the axial out drives. The reason for me is I'm a cheap bastard and the hr gears are supposed to be good. I will be stuffing the trans with grease. I have been using red and tacky, have not heard anything bad about it before

Hey WI guys! Been a long time since I've checked in. I was just reading the Cato thread and admiring the pics. I was playing disc golf there a couple weekends ago and was thinking about how many places would have been nice to run a crawler. One of these days I'll get back into another rig and back on the trail!

[1santaever]

i have the hot racing gears in both my wrath and scx10 and have no issues with them at all. i also just picked up a new jeep body cant wait till it gets here

[corporatelemon]

Same the port group runs hr gears and so far so good the stock case will fail before the gears

[TrailDawg362]
