Well at least the lawn got mowed.The 5yr old broke it in for me. Fun truck!View attachment 15750
I guess if I knew for sure that would fix the problem it wouldn't bother me as much. Just don't want to spend the money to find out that the only solution is a backed off slipper.
So another 100+ for vanquish goodies if I want to run 3S?
Not sure I want to turn this into a 1K rig
Both of y'all should send me $25, I'll put in the other $35 and order the axle housing. I'll beat on it for a little and let you know if it holds up, that way if it does still have the issue, you're only out $25. I'll end up being out $35, but I'm willing to do that for you guys. Let me know if y'all want in on this limited time offer.But the statement above is why I'm hesitant to drop a C note and not cure the problem. This is one of the funnest rc's I have owned but it is a pain at times.
I have read about people still having heat issues with aluminum housings including vanquish. Someone pointed me to DLUX Fab, they sell truck parts but they also have a few rc crawler parts. They modified a plastic housing to use a 5x13 bearing for the inner pinion bearing. For $20 this might be worth a shot.
Info from their site
http://www.dluxfab.com/products click on store tab then rc crawler parts
"Axial Wraith housings that have had the bearing area modified for a 5x13 bearing. The bearings are set in the housing so a standard (new) ring and pinion will be just a hair too tight but perfect when broken in. Comes with gear side bearing installed."
Thanks for the info. I was going to pick one up from gcm since they did great work on all the esavage parts but I am thinking a 2s and a backed off slipper is the most practical.
Here is a link for the gcm stuff

Wasn't that with the old version? Their new V2 is made to use a 5x14 bearing, that should be much better than stock and you can say your bearing is bigger.I have read about people still having heat issues with aluminum housings including vanquish.
