Well for me it's the glitching right out of the box, but i still haven't really used it on any other place than my office, i have ran 4 packs through mine and have been using a skating board ramp to jump my slash, after about 20 jumps about 3/4 full speed(i don't have that much space)on concrete, the gearbox started sounding a little coarse  , i took it in and just adjusted the pinion a little tighter and it sounds better again, i am surprised at the shcoks not leaking yet as my slash is stock and i feel the suspension bottoming out on each jump, other than that it has been awesome  |

Yea after about every 4 to 5 packs I have to buy a new motor!!! I have burned up 3 titans, 1 13t dubb speed gem, and 1 15t dubb fireball the last two were plastic endbell and it just mealts them!!! I'm only running 7cell and everything is stock. We think the problem is in the ESC..... Just have to send it back to traxxas but hate to not be able to play for a couple of weeks............

The only problem I have is the tire coming off the wheels. I am running a mamba max with a 4600kv motor. The rear tires deform so much they come loose and the foam sticks out. Easy to fix.

I dont have mine yet, but it seems like the biggest problems are the tires rubbing on the bodys, fried motors, and blown shock caps.

I don't see any possible way the esc could cause the motors to burn out. Did you change the gearing at all? |

Not a problem anymore as I've upgraded to a Mamba Max and 5700kv Running 16/90 still on 7 cell nmh and it really just uncontrolable on the track LOL that means JUST RIGHT!!!! |

If you smoked a motor before putting a whole pack through it and it wasn't your fault I would take it back to the hobby shop for warranty.

Hmmm, let's see. Every time I take it out the left rear shock cap comes off, the left rear hinge pin won't stay in, and that's about it.

I twisted my yokes about the third pack after swapping to a VXL. Went to the metal joints and been good since. I also shoo-goo'ed the rear bumper part where it slides under the trans.
