My spur also stripped, no clue on that either.. screws are all tight, mesh is great. The truck ran great the entire day except for the last 10 minutes as i was running the fuel out and packing up to go home.
Buggy it is. thanks all for the replies. Don't think i can afford a muggy, but I'd love one.

If you look very carefully you can get used ones around 150, but then you run the risk of a basket case... They are pretty stong and mine had some wear on the chassis but the diff and shafts looked new... I like to completely go thru a vehicle when I get it, so used does not bother me. I have heard that I can find some smoking deals, paid 130 shipped for my muggy and it cam with 2 sets of good wheels/tires and some spares...
The hyper is a great buggy and the price is good too. I paid 189 new for my first hyper7 and it was a roller. You can get some money back selling the nitro stuff new, and at least you can easily go thru the diffs and make sure that they are shimmed right.
The savage is a much better truck with the flux chassis and tranny setup. I hate nitro crap and mech brakes, always seems under-engineered to me. Plus clutches suck. And nitro fuel is nasty. I had to strip and soak my first savage 21 for a day to get it clean...
