This is the first time I've seen someone post about Arrma not using loctite. Usually there is so much red loctite on everything you can't get it apart.

It is the 6s.
It's literally had 2 packs ran through it. 6s of course though.

Doesn't that screw into a locknut?

I'm not mad, parts are ordered but, I mean look how clean she is and she fell apart. Saddens me..

I believe so? I can give you the part numbers I ordered if it helps.

Come on Arrma, your slacking. Lol

I own a v4 kraton I beat like a red headed step child and it breaks, and i don't complain. But this is my girls car and I treat it like a traxxas, and it fell a part.

It does, but they don't do a good job of holding those screws in. Mine backed out in my Outcast shortly after I got it, but I was lucky and caught it before it fell out completely.

 

[OwnsDaily]

It does

So is this one of the "shoulda checked it before you drove it "rtr"" things?

 

[Jimbobjr]

That one gets loose on me from time to time. I use a little blue locktite to keep it together. When that bugger falls out its game over. I don't think I have extras...

Sorry bumped the reply button.
Sadly if I made a list of all the things I would check on a rtr before I drove it, you might as well just completely rebuild the car. That is why people refer to rtrs as ready to rebuild. It's just one of the downfalls of mass production. It's definitely something that you should check after a run.

I mean I was WOT and steering went out. I thought I went out of range so I walked to it.
