Got a new xs and have had issues with it since.
1/4 battery pack and the tie rod pops off. Found it put it back on.
Another 1/4 pack and wheel nut flies off never to be found. Got a new nut and locktited the wheels.
Ran about 1/2 a pack and pinion grub screw backed out and pinion slid back. Truck would not move. Disassembled and locktighted screw.
Ran truck for less than a minute and threw grub screw attaching drive cup to tranny. Screw is gone. Ordered a new set of screws and will locktite.
I've never had so much trouble with a brand new kit. I am half venting.. and half wondering if anyone else has had this much trouble with an xs. Total 15 min runtime and 3 breakdowns from screws backing out.
Any tips on how far i should dissasemble and locktite this thing or any parts i should stock up on that are prone to break? My ultimate goal is to get it into shape enought to run it for a full pack before the summer ends.
