Well I did full breakin holding the car up in the air by the handle because I didnt want to break it right away. Next Finally I completed burn in method and was about to do first true run on grass and gravel and thats when all hell broke loose. First what I believe is the flywheel roasted as the main gear on the engine turned but the plastic gear didnt bye bye about 6 teeth. Nothing was caught in the gear so I dont have a clue wth happen it simply didnt spin while at idle and ate it up. Next the link that goes from the steering servo came right apart and the screw is no where to be found. So in otherwords it ran great while I held it up during break in. Then come the time for my first run everything went to shiot!!! Needless to say I'm pissed and now I have to order parts. So I look in manual and it has every damn part for every type of vehicle class mostly showing the buggy parts which I dont need. So the truck sucks and when it breaks the damn book sucks for reference also. I'm very dissapointed in this piece of crap so far and if after I fix everything and rip it apart and loctite it all over it falls apart at idle again. The landslide will be at the landfill!!! I understand this hobby requires patience but damn when you pay 265 for a rtr that you do everything correct on you would think that they would have everything somewhat workable and get some runs out of it before crap starts falling off. I'm wishing I went electric as we speak becuase I had no issues with them. This is my first nitro and it hasnt been a pleasant one... Hope you guys have fun bashing while I will be ordering parts to fix this god blasted thing...
