    Never broke one of these before.

    So I was driving up trees today and went up came back down and the truck only made that revving soung so I thought diff gears? When I took a look at it I found that the axle stub had come out of the shaft, I've driven rustlers with 11 turn mod motors, my other pede with a 15T, but with a titan this is what happens. I really wish I had a LHS, closest one is 2 hours away

    Yeah I have a very big tree on one corner of my property (around 75 feet tall) and it has a nice sloped trunk on one side I think with a 15T motor I can get about 6 or 7 feet up it.

    Once I get everything updated and fixed I will try to get some footage of it. Might be about a week though.

    Yeah I don't understand why it broke, I have driven rustys and pedes with much more power and never had a problem from that area. Anyways replacement parts are on the way, anyone have experiance with buytraxxas.com? Their site said 2 weeks

    I broke both of mine, and my buddy broke one on his too. Its the plastic meets metal thing. Always a weak spot.
    Anyway, I put in Traxxas street sport axles in and they held up surprisingly well for quite a while. But eventually I got the MIP cvds

    I have bought from buytraxxas.com. Always a pleasure! Usually ships faster than two weeks.

    I just broke one of those yesterday up at the cottage. I'm glad I had the pit box and the spair parts box! Right now my Stampede has one MIP CVD shaft and one stocker. Hey... If it works, it works!
