Sounds like a woman I yousta know!Good choice, short chassis, short arms, small wheels = less trouble
Well... I've run into my first problem. It started making a clicking sound, like a stick was caught in it which has happened a couple times. But it isn't a stick. The back wheels are either not turning or barely turning, the clicking is coming from the back. The front still works perfectly. I'm guessing that I broke a gear that drives the back wheels. It just started doing this, there was no flip or crash or anything. I've mostly been doing donuts and wheelies and going over rough terrain, it made sense too me right away that I might have broken what is probably a plastic gear.
Does this sound like a broken gear or something else? I am just guessing.
Thanks. Stuck out in the middle of nowhere I have plenty of time to get around too that. I will be in the city at the beginning of August, I'll just get parts at an RC hobby store while I am there so I don't have to pay the shipping and wait a week anyway. Everything on the outside is fine and it just made sense immediately too me... plastic gears... I was being so careful not to flip it or hit anything, I only flipped it lightly once over 4 times in 5.5 runs, I never even thought about it having plastic gears and all the spinning and donuts and power moves I started doing ones I figured out how. I wouldn't have done that if I had thought about the plastic gears, so it's my fault. I did like 3 runs worth of power slides, donuts, and wheelies not thinking about plastic gears not taking that for long... so it's my own fault for having too much fun when I was wanting to make at least close to the beginning of August before wearing something out. I have the car now and I love it, I knew if something broke it would be down until August.
You can buy parts online and have them shipped to you?Oh, cool, thank you for that! I understood going into it that keeping the car going is half the fun, it's just very inconvenient for me for these next few months trapped in the middle of nowhere. In a way it is a good thing something so deep into the car went wrong, I'll learn how to take the whole back of the car apart right away.
It should be noted that the first time removing the motor module can be frustrating. Allow time and patience and it will slide forward.

Stay away from those twin girls. The bartender isn't so nice either ?
Yes you will need diff fluid. The Kraton 4S uses 6000cSt silicone diff fluid, per the Arrma specs. You can choose a different weight if you choose, or stay with the stock weight. Up to your preference.Haha...
Assuming it is the gears, which I am pretty sure it is, are the parts all I need or is there some type of differential grease that I will also need? I don't have any of those kinds of things yet.
There were some other things I was planning on getting at the RC store in August when I went to Denver like a hand held wheel balancer, camber and toe gauges, and a few things like that. I will also eventually need shock oil... with the price of the parts I'm not far away from free shipping from Horizon Hobby. So if I can work this up to $99 of things I definitely need, I'll take the car apart and confirm which parts I need and just have it shipped. So do I need some type of differential grease to do this... that would be one more thing for the list.
