They cost $24 a pair. But now I'm thinking about trying to sell everything.

why? what happened??

Nothing happened. My job has me working a 60+ hour week, 6 days a week and I never have but a few hours on Sunday to drive it. And that will change once the snow falls I just sold my RC18T with tons of extras. And if I can get a good price for this awesome truck and everything else, I would definitely sell it. And I need to get me a new TV and PS3 for the winter This is just a thought though.

well if you have parts ot unload let me know...i wouldn't have the $$ to buy the whole truck...but if you have metal stuff or upgrade stuff you want to unload let me know...

and there are alwasy gloves and a hat you can wear when it is cold and drvie the little bugger!

i was actually thinking of buying a Losi micro high roller for winter indoor r/c fun..

my merv is still pretty stock with the exception of the Duratrax heat sink and i upgraded the radio to my spektrum DX3S and thats it. . .i really didn't like the little thing on lipos, it never wanted to settle down so i got rid of all my lipo equipment and i am sticking with NiMh 2 batteries in series is enough for me

Busted ring and pinion!!!

I blew out my rear ring gear after over a month of bashing on 2S and 3S lipos. I was messing around in the leaf piles, and doing some tire spinning when it caught traction and did what looked like 3 backflips. I flip it back over and proceed to drive it and I'm hearing a rather loud 'click' under heavy throttle. I checked over all the drive shafts and they look fine, so I'm assuming its the ring and pinion. I'm surprised it lasted this long to be honest. I picked up a new ring and pinion and need to get some fresh diff. lube. Does anybody know the stock oil weight?

i hurt my 1st part today too...my drivers real axle driver (that holds the u joint) partially stripped out. Axle keps falling out. Thankfully the LHS actually had a set. Will be back in business tomorrow.

think it is 5k weight stock...i think?????

My diff. only had oil residue inside of it, almost completely dry. I'm not sure if it leaked out or wasn't filled at the factory. Anyways I rebuilt it and filled it with 5K oil and sealed the screws with some blue RTV silicon. Its up and running very smooth. I'm gonna take out the front diff. and fill and seal it as well.
