Here is my two cents:
First, everyone on here complaining about the "whiners", look in the mirror. Grow up and let people express their opinion. All you are doing is feeding the fires and whining about the whining.
Second. I was just about to buy the kit when I have decided I am probably going to wait until spring. Because of bearing and stuff? no. Does the bearings have a part in me not buying it right now yes but it is mostly because winter is upon me and I don't need it sitting on a shelf. I guess I could buy one and start on all the repairs the truck need to be ready to roll first thing in the spring, i just think i will wait. Hell maybe axial will fix it, maybe not I don't care. I will buy one in the spring regardless.
Third, I love to work on these trucks. If you don't you wont be here long. I find it relaxing to go in the shop, get ready for a repair, upgrade whatever and get to it. I have been in Rc since 80-81 something like that. I will never leave just too much fun.
So lets all calm down, let the people who want to talk about the xr10 issues do what they will. Lets just keep it in one thread or so please. I personally have searched many times about the xr10 bearing and 6 threads i found right off were people upset.
Thank you and good night
