I didn't see any obstructions. This is really frustrating though. I just fixed the control arms yesterday. And had to put shocks on it a couple days before that. Now this. My wife is not happy. I've heard mixed opinions about traxxas cars but are they really this unreliable?stripped servo gears, or servo is possibly going out. Or something caught up or broken in the bellcrank / steering assembly.
I think this go round, I'm just gonna let the hobby shop sort it out. And if it keeps giving me trouble, call it a loss and shelve it for a while. I haven't even had enough successful runs to really enjoy it yet.
, the brand new Vorza , have had to replace both servos within a couple weeks on it, steering went first, tmaxx though has been beat harder and longer and servos still holding up 
same thing though, sudden loss and they sound crunchy oh and get a nitro, and watch the smile on your sons face 
Lol well for one, I did buy it used even if it was in good shape. And my son is 15 and we've taken it slow getting into this because I already know this can get very expensive very fast. That being said, I'll look into servos and go from there. But I can't just keep throwing money at this thing if I don't even get to enjoy it.New to this as well, but just went through this…not with the tmaxx though surprisingly
if your doing this with kids, buckle up and keep all extremities inside at all times

Wicked speaks a lot of truth there
he has been super helpful in my short sentence here. Its always gonna be something, especially getting started with high expectations of rtrs…add kids, you gonna need a good part stash and a few back up vehicles
Lol I haven't even come close to 1000 yet. Getting close though of this keeps up. And I only have one car. My youngest son has an Aarma and I think his is winning in the durability category.I'm 15 and been in the hobby (well I say for 8 years since I got my first RC when I was 7) Maybe a couple thousand + dollars later...

Yea
Yes yes! That's the main part of my frustration. I don't drive hard at all. I haven't had enough successful runs to actually have the confidence to push it hard. I'm sure the dust will settle soon and I'll get to actually have fun.Yea
From what I seen, their cars seem to have some beefy parts.
But it ideally depends on the driver and how we drive.
Me and @luke66 had a discussion earlier. I drive my cars pretty hard, He drives them pretty lightly. So thats why he can get away with using many things
Great advice sir. I can't forget that I'm still learning. I don't know what that cars can and can't handle. Even if I'm not bashing it.
Damn. I mean it makes sense. Comparable to car companies building problems into their cars so the customers have to come to them to fix them. If they didn't, nobody would ever need new cars. In theory, anyways.
I honestly feel bad at this point. This rustler was a birthday present from my wife and I've almost spent what she paid for it just trying to get it to where I can run it up and down my street for a half an hour without SOMETHING going wrong.
That being said, what brand do you prefer?
While I, on the other hand, Break every part. I have broken one of every part on my Rustler 4x4. I have around $1000 into it currently. It's a beast now. It would probably hold up even better if I didn't run 6s in it.Yea
