Damn I ran mine 6S a bunch of times never broke the axel hub, But I did sorta shred the teeth on the front outdrive it seems :\

These trucks man I tell ya, Im starting to regret ever getting into 6s vehicles, I really don't think these are built for this kinda speed and bashing, Theres far too may weak points..

But naa that ain't right or normal that never should broke.. least not that fuckin quick doing nothing.

I knew there would be weak spots but I’ve never heard of these breaking bashing hard let along just driving around getting used to the truck. Granted I’ve had this longer b4 breaking then my traxxas ?

Yeah I'm super surprised it broke too may have been cracked or something from the factory and it just failed

Definitely not a common problem. And just driving at half throttle and just having it come apart like that? Freak occurrence.

 

[Wes84]

Just noticed something with my front outdrives. The one that broke is the round one but the one on the right (also rear) are the ones with the flat sides. Any difference in the 2 kinds? Still waiting for a response from Arrma on this. Bought this from tower hobbies should I just call them or wait for Arrma to respond? Also is it the round ones or the flat sides that’s supposed to be on this truck?

I just had a better look at your photo and realized what your talking about. The fronts should be flat at the tip of the dog bone and the rears should be round. If you have one of each, left to right, someone messed up on assembly. Hard to make sense of it though, cause front and rear are 41mm difference in length. Must be from a different rig. Measure the lengths of all four, but mark what came off the front and back. Might help to figure out what's going on.

Horizon is sending out some new outdrives ???

 

[PowerDubs]

How hard are these to change??

Anyone have a write up on the procedure?

 

[Wes84]

Still haven’t changed mine yet. Have changed on other brands before and it’s not hard at all.

All of mine are flat, front, center and rear.

 

[Wes84]

They sent me the replacement parts just haven’t had the time to change them out.
