First I'll say if u have a problem with yours contact redact they have been very helpful.So here goes!Starting problem clunking sound in rear end,found that a screw that holds the motor in came out and lodged itself in the spur gear no damage just annoying.
2:the right front tire fell off hub and all.The aluminium pin that holds it in fell out.I replaced the pin with a steel pin and Lotctite problem fixed.
3:The right rear tire and hub came off.Replaced pin with steel pin.I decided they all needed replaced at this time.So I did so
4:The speed controller quit working.Took it to my LHS and they agreed that it was destroyed I had only had the truck two weeks to this point.
5:Now to the best break of all the pic below is of my spur gear and the dog bone that goes thru the heart of the transmission axle cup broke right off.Still no reply from redcat.Its a fun truck but somet things that need be addressed

WOW Did you happen to drive it off a building? Thats some nice damage. I guess i got a good one from the factory i only broke the servos so far. I put in all metal gears and an upgrade to the servo from CPE and no problems so far.
