I thought the diffs where sealed?. I just pulled mine apart from running it at them BMC and there was sand in there?. It seems to suck it in right at the shaft.....I have it apart right now..I am slo goning to hot glue my 81MG servo so it does not jump around!.

MO, on tuesday i will show you what i did to my HS 81-MG.. it works great.. i use a small zip tie, drill 2 holes in the chassis, near the servo, then you put a zip tie around the servo.. but you still need to use 2 sided sticky tape.. just take a look at my truck tomorrow..

ok what the heck can I do to protect the esc from death...its sitting there right in the open...and I'm going back outside I can' t help myself!

just took my truck apart for a clean and most of the dirt/sand was in the spur gear... guys it might look like the spur has nothing in it but the little salt grains get crushed in between the spur and pinion and if the get between the teeth... just by looking at the spur gear you might not be able to tell but get a small flat head strew driver to scrape between the teeth and you can see it... definately gonna get a gear cover made up before i run outside again...

I took my RC18T out on saturday and sunday. and on sunday. it happened. the mini quake got in my way. and then the wall came next. 2 broken a-arms, one c-hub, one steering knuckle, one bearing, one tie-rod, 2 hing pins, a gear in the diff and the blue rod down the middle is tweeked. oh. and cant forget that I tore the motor in 2 and melted my spy.
