Hello everyone, I am recently new to the world of RC. I purchased a Arma Big Rock V3, this thing is a blast, I absolutely love it.

I quickly learned that I may be driving it incorrectly. While ripping a wheelie in the grass my rear slide shaft u joint popped out of place. I was able to pop it back in but it just keeps happening.

I was thinking about boiling this part to repair it. Any thoughts on this?

Is there anything I should know about driving these cars properly? I’m assuming I probably shouldn’t rip wheelies in the grass like that lol.

Loosen your slipper a bit and replace that shaft because it's ruined now. Get Arrma CVD's. Part#AR310870

Welcome!

I, along with many others, have had the same problem.

1. Your slipper clutch could be too tight. Maybe try adjusting it.

2. Get the upgraded CVDs.

I would recommend getting the upgraded driveshafts. Yeah, they're a little spendy, but definitely worth it! I haven't had a single problem with them.
