      I hope M2C is coming out with some gears for it! I've shredded the rear ring and pinion, and just yesterday the spur and pinion are completely destroyed. Durability wise the truck is great. Unfortunately the metal used on the gears is complete bull shit.

      @@jive7777 GPM makes a hardened and machined 4140 steel spur gear (52t only that I know of)...it’s a little pricey at about 3x the cost of a stock spur, but well worth it, IMO.
      I got their spur, as well as 4140 6mm CVD’s at all 4 corners and 6mm 4140 center dog bones.
      Traxxas already makes machined ring and pinion gears for the diff’s as well as machined pinion gears for the motor.
      All combined is a nice bulletproof setup.

    Bought a sledge. Its a lot of fun, but the foam fell apart on the tires after 5 runs and i keep loosing a screw pin. The screw pin is $3.50 for a pack of 6, but traxxas wants $65 to ship them to Canada. I asked their support about just throwing it in an envelope, and they told me if i didn't want to pay the $65 that i should go search the field for the screw. They had a lot of smart ass responses. Completely unreasonable, support is terrible and listen to the other reviewers who say they won't buy traxxas ever again.
