I feel ya....I was very brand loyal when it came to my booze....but I quit drinking a year ago for health reasons....so now more money for RC LOL
Yea I have had that problem as wellMy brother and I mainly run our stuff on a track so no real concerns about bent motor mounts and whatnot. I hear of manny who strip gears of the Xmaxx's too, but we haven't had any issues with those either. I did recently strip a tooth off a Kraton pinion gear.. and this..darned rocks!!
