I got my Fireteam in December and was pretty excited about this scale of RC.
I opened it about 7 days before Xmas for some Xmas Shenanigans and promptly broke a suspension arm off driving it off my 3 foot deck in -20C temperatures.
It was operational for 24 hours.
I then got the parts from the closest store and fixed it so I could take it out on Xmas to the family dinner to drive it on the snow.
I promptly broke the e clip off the 12t gear and that was that.
It lasted 48 hours.
I got the new gear with set screw and eclip and ordered and extra couple and got it out last thursday and promptly drove it into an apple tree on 75% power ( i had been running on 50% previously).
It lasted 24 hours.
I drove in to the local hobby store on friday and got all the parts plus some Pro line trenchers and got it all working for sunday. I then blew out the right wheel hub bearing.
It lasted 24 hours.
As a noob I'm slowly working my way through each fix but it's getting a little questionable if I can keep this thing in a working state for more then a day.
Ive ordered the parts to rebuild the front end but it will take a few days if not a week to get them all here.
