Where do I start?
1) The outdrives mash quicker and easier than potato.
2) The use of a sprung 'c' clip as a bearing surface to hold the thrust bearing sub assembly is poor engineering at best.
3) The lack of 'T' nut method for fixing the main thrust screw in place and instead using a grub screw is the epicentre of most diff problems. A locking 'T' nut, like those used on Losi and Associated models, would drastically reduce the chance of a diff working loose.
4) The moulding quality of the main plastic diff gear and the lack of reasonable tolerance for the diff balls to sit in, or fall through in my case, is poor. (Yes I have tried a new set of balls and a new diff gear).
Having spoken to a couple of other Schumacher owners it seems the issues I have experienced are nothing new.
