Hi,
i got my mini rock crawler this morning.
the front, then the rear u-joints at the end of the 3-link connector keep falling off (then the drive-shaft separates and the truck is basically 2wd and useless).
it looks as if the hole where they fit in the axle housing is worn out. the guy i got it from supposedly ran it only inside, and not a whole lot...

the screw that goes into the connector seem tight (not stripped), so it's really the u-joint itself falling off...

i can probably zip-tie it to the axle and make it work, but i'm wondering if this is a common issue and if there is a fix. I couldnt find anything on here, or rcuniverse, or google, other than the parts name and prices!!

thank you!
Pat
