Gonna be honest I’ve never shunned any RC for all 13 years. Given all I’ve owned is Traxxas until I got my senton (aside from hpi but they also didn’t need shimming) and they tend to keep the tolerances extremely tight. I’m still not doing it on my senton, too lazy, but I’m probably gonna do it now because the diffs are a little worse for wear.
A few notes....
1. Traxxas chassis is a nylon composite. Strong but not stiff enough to handle well compared to metal chassis.
2. The straps / limiters for the suspension is a serious design flaw that isn’t like “oh it just needs straps and super glue”. It should be s recall.
3. Shimming diffs is just as important as meshing your pinion to spur, it is making sure there is no play in the mesh. If you did not buy a hobby-grade truck because you had to shim a diff then maybe this hobby is not really for you, or... you should consider educating and furthering your experience in the hobby.
4. You never ever ever have to apologize or feel the need to explain what RC you like. Period, end of story. We all have our tastes and real enthusiasts aren’t brainless fans of just one brand.
5. You seem upset or short of patience in this thread because people gave you answers that weren’t to your liking, and or above your hobby IQ. Do not go to a forum and expect perfect strangers from up to 8000 miles away to submit to your preference of answers, the next time you need help you will receive crickets and a bag of dicks. Don’t be frustrated, it’s hard to communicate through text so understand that questions may have to be said a few times for us all to understand. None of us are pros here, we can all learn and be patient and I’ve been at this hobby for 29 years.
6. Ask a crawler guy about BECs, they know that stuff back to front. I haven’t suffered your issue, but I use Hobbywing UBECs only.
Hope you get your issue solved ?
