I don't think that you ESC should have took a dump on 3's if it says that it can handle up to 4's ,
You say that you run 1/8 tires ,that is buggy tires right?

arrma should call their 3s lineup 2s. and warn people if they do run 3s that every fkn thing will break. first off they put a 7kg servo in a off road vechle second ...then they put open bearings on something that goes in dirt and water. third they put an esc that overheats in ten mins on 3s. plastic pivot balls don't last a week before they are so loose you can't even drive a straight line. but hey you can launch them 20 feet for 20 mins on YouTube . people buy these thinking they are going to last. bull crap. the only thing stock on my rig is the chassis and gears. and i bet they will be the next thing I change

I know you guys think I'm stupid for putting all my aluminum hop-ups on my rig. don't get me wrong, i love my truck. just i like a tight setup my truck goes about 70mph and if it's all over the place u can't go fast. I think my servo has been the prob the whole time. and now it's more noticeable. the only thing i regret is not just getting a 6s senton

I’ve had a nightmare with gears and diffs on my Arrma Senton , they are not all built to the same spec I got a Roses Tub full of New Diff yokes , new Diff Case, Planet Gears, input shafts, out drives , all bought new just have to keep fiddling around to see which best , some planet gears grind for no reason , some diff yokes rub the diff case . Honestly I’ve never known anything like it . However my LCG Slash is wont drive in a straight line either, and don’t even think of driving it without the TSM controller reciver unless your a dab hand at driving on ice because there’s no difference .

ya I've had the same experience. just yesterday. Sat there filing the sharp edoes off so the diff didn't rub
 
Why not just buy a 6S BLX. Tanks. You can run 4S and they still tear it up with no breakage unless you jump like crazy. I own 4 of the 6S BLX trucks, and they're all awesome. All I did was add dust guards and aluminum servo brace/holder.

$500, but you're done.
