No warranty. Its a little over a year old.
I haven't checked on parts yet but I opened up the top and all the gears look fine. Haven't figured out how to get the rest of it apart... yet..

Weird. Maybe its not totally junk? Stuck somehow?
No shreaded gears is a good start!
Just over a year... Bummer!!!

I can turn it by hand via the wheels when it was in the Kraton and it has very little resistance and makes an odd squeal sound. Servo motor related I think.
On the upside, now I have a spare set of gears. I have the same servo in a few other cars too.
Threw a cheap scamazon servo in it for now. The wife did the test run and said she couldn't tell the difference. A win is a win I guess
Thats 2 down, only 20 somethin more to go. Next up is the Xmaxx

While not really 'broken' per say, I got some grass lodged in the rear bumper last time out and couldn't quite get it all so I pulled the bumper apart.
Also got a couple different gear ratios to play with.

Test run with 25/35 gearing went pretty good. Motor never got over 120 degrees and the max5 never exceeded 100. Ill get a proper speed run tomorrow if it stops raining.
This beast is next. DBXL. Needs a proper set of tires. Any recommendations?

@Mrgoodwrench35 ..
Taylor RC, they ship to the US of A or I believe you can get them stateside from Kraken..
I have these and run them on 12s, so I'm sure that they'll be fine on your gasser..

My Outcast 4S V2.5 arrived yesterday and I immediately removed a spacer from each rear shock and moved the shocks to the inner mounting hole. Sits higher without needing spacers. Once I add a battery it will sit a bit lower, but not too much.

I did some preventative maintenance on my Rlaarlo SBK10 1/10 buggy and found a crunchy bearing on one of the rear axles. I ordered up a bunch of new inner and outer sealed chrome bearings from Fast Eddie so I can get it back to smooth running.

I finally got my new to me E-Revo Brushless Edition 1.0 in the mail from eBay and FedEx this afternoon and i got it all cleaned, mostly rebuilt and put together with the stock Castle\Traxxas combo and bound up to my Spektrum iXSR+ radio system. I hope to get out and run it soon for the first time so far i'm in love with it.

Today i installed new driveshafts, a wheelie bar, new rear toe link, new front and rear bumpers, a new pushrod then refreshed both front and rear differentials in my E-Revo Brushless Edition OG. Edit: I also recalibrated the ESC to my radio this afternoon.

I got my package from FastEddy today and used the new sealed bearings to replace inner and outer axle bearings on my Rlaarlo SBK10 buggy and XTS-S10 rally car. I love my Rlaarlo vehicles but it seems their OEM bearings (shielded, not sealed) are not the best quality.
The FastEddy bearings came in a tube of 10 so I serviced two cars and had two bearings of each type left. I wish the FastEddy bearings had come in a dozen-pack instead of ten. It was my first order with them so I was hesitant to order more. They seem to be OK so I won't hesitate in the future.
In my RC flying days, I ordered a lot of bearings from Boca Bearings. They offer grades of bearings of excellent quality but you pay for that, obviously. For my RC glow engines, I thought the high quality was worth paying for. For RC ground vehicles, I thought I might look for a more budget-minded choice. The sealed bearings from FastEddy were much smoother than the OEM and I'm satisfied so far..

A few quick upgrades to the Team Corally Kronos XTR over the weekend..
Bottom to top, Stock, RTR and Beefcake steering turnbuckles.!! (probably break rest of car now instead of those tiny rod ends
)
Quick esc swap, wanted something lighter but still powerful..
Out with the Max6 and in with an XC-ESC C8, I have four of their esc's now, the power and features vs price is best in class in my opinion..

Prepping the Corally for the weekend. Who set the brakes at 25%? I don't know, they're at 60% now. I've really taken a liking to this truck. It's not a Tekno but it's still nice.
And yes, it needs a bath.
