This is a defect, and a lot of them at that. Not only have I been around Mini-Z from the start, I have been in the r/c game since the late 70's. I can't see this any other way than sensible customer service responsibility is to make good on what was promised. I will not accept excuses even though I am an engineer and can come up with workarounds as good, or better than the next guy. I am not sponsored by any of these folks, nor do I care to be so when I pay out of my own pocket... I get to speak freely If my company tried to get away with that, we'd be out of business in a heartbeat. Come to think of it, we have shipped some very buggy releases in the past and boy did we have to spend a lot of time and money to scramble and make it right

3Racing is "ok" but their quality has never been top shelf. That said, I have run a few limited 3Racing parts. I would rather use a stock Kyosho part or a Frankensteined Atomic part as first choice

The last I heard of GPM, they were disolving or at least getting out of the r/c biz.


Oh and one other thing... my fastest and best functioning dNano... uses stock gear diff. HAHAHAHA!!
