Truth or Fiction: Newer 1/10 Everests ship with metal lockers?

[StomperCrawler]

I thought I read somewhere that the newer 1/10 Everest ships with aluminum (rather than the original black plastic) lockers? Can anyone confirm or deny this? Specifically I'm talking about the top half of this part, not the gear itself (could be a different color): 180009

I bought mine in December and they were plastic.

Thanks for the info, Watkins. May I ask where you purchased from? LHS, Amain, Ebay, RCPlanet, OpenTip, elsewhere?

That's too bad. I guess the Axial lockers (p/n AX30500) & Redcat axle-shaving are the way to go then.

That's what I've done to mine. Holding up good.

I've had one for a couple weeks now. Posted pics on main page. I've put it through its paces with a 3s lipo and 4 wheel steering. Haven't stripped the stock ones yet. Have my fingers crossed. When I do, have a chance to pull them apart Bought from rc planet late feb.

As promised. They are plastic. [emoji17]

Did it crap out yet? Mine didn't last two weeks.

No still good. I really don't know how though. I've put it through hell and back. I'm going to fill the cups with marine epoxy while I have them out. Until I upgrade later. I went with a steel jb weld instead. I used a zip lock bag like an icing funnel. Mix, cut, pour... no mess.

I thought it was cut, mix, and pour

Thats for a different activity. I Mixed jb in the bottom corner of a sandwich bag, cut the tiny corner, and poured or squeezed out.

using the baggie as an icing funnel for glue is pretty clever
thanks for the idea.
