Got my new Felony today an I love this thing, something for bashing on the street when I cannot get the Kraton out to some dirt. A word of warning though.
About 20 minutes into some light bashing ( going up and down a slanted curb a few times and doing a few speed runs and donuts) I noticed a horrible grinding sound and a serious loss of power. Cracked it open and noticed the motor mount plate screws had backed out and the pinion had ground onto the plate! I was able to get it recounted with some loctite (there did not appear to be any there!) And got.it running fine again.. I sent an email to Arrma about it and hopefully they will help me out with a new plate.
So, as a word of warning to those getting a new felony or anything with a sliding motor plate, check those screws before you run it. Hopefully you can learn from my lack of vigilance!
