I haven,t played with oils much (I'm at the beginning of tuning it). I had the original oils in there ; which in Losi oils are supposed to be 27.5 rear 30.0 front. I've now upped the front to 32.5 to see how it feels.

That sucks about your problems. I only have 1 race meeting with it, but I took it appart and everything was OK! No slipper nut coming loose... Spur gear was fine... Diff gears looked brand new (I was amazed). I did slip heat shrink over the CVD pins though... Just in case the red locktite I put in there comes appart...
0 problems so far and hope it stays that way!

Yeah, I think I'm going to keep it. Car has just been such a headache since I got it, I've had one night where nothing happened to the car, not breaking stuff just things like the slipper loosening, cvd pins falling out, diff/drive gear stripping and last week ate a couple teeth on the spur gear, that was sort of the final draw. Just don't have trust in the car when I race it, which is bad. But everything "should" be okay now, rebuilt it all so it should be good to go.

Good luck this weekend!
