They're shipping today!

Looks like you are the first one As far as the straping down issue, there was a lot of concern that they could come loose in the box during shipping. We've seen some boxes get tore up in transit, so better save than sorry. The tire will come back to ship after a little run time.

For some reason, no matter what we tried we could not get the MRC super quiet, we did try different materials that seemed quieter, but they would not hold up to the demands of crawling. Kind give and take type deal. We'll keep working on getting them quieter, but you gear box should hold up just fine.

Cool, so no need for an immediate tear down to see what the noise was, I figured I was safe since 3 of 3 in the shop sounded the same (only one left yest). I can live with noise for durability. It's looking like the weather may kill my plans for this weekend to put it on the rocks (stooopid gustav induced rain).:-(

Only other things I noted last night are typical RTR things: retorque screws, check pinion mesh, slipper way over tightened, etc.

It's propped up on a stand to let the flats go away (ooops, it's going with me to work today). My bigger concern is the warpage in one wheel that was pulled down way to hard (totaly flated tire). That might be a phone call to Chapmaign to get it swapped out.

So far so good. I just hope the drive shafts hold. I murdered the ones in my axial, so these are fair game. 8)

Thanks for a great product Rich, hope your review goes well next month.

The actual wheel is warped? thats weird. well for the tires how about trying a blow drier to heat up the tires a bit? maybe that will bring them back to shape. warm tires will give you better traction anyway haha "thumbsup"
