Yeah, like grabbin too much throttle... I agree with all that Jerry, except Traxxas has at least two 6S capable rigs on the market. The ERBE and the 3908 BL Maxx. The 3905 diff cup was a decent improvement over the 3906, but they have yet to address the ring and pinion.

I'm tearing mine up with pussy 4S/9XL "power" haha.. what these things must look like after about a minute on 6S........[/QUOTE]

Oh I agree with you Redshift. The issues I have are with the poor quality that Traxxas and all the rest of the manufacturers are providing in these RTR rigs. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the ring & pinion systems they are putting into their vehicles is subquality in design and material. I guess it is like most of the mechanical stuff throughout history. The manufacturers purposely build inferior stuff into the vehicles just to rake in the money on after market repair parts or upgrades that should have been part of the original design in the first place. It is disgusting how poor some of this stuff really is. Why can't one honest manufacturer put together the perfect vehicle and rake in the money on the merits of such a piece of craftsmanship. Sure the average Joe would not know the difference, but the majority of us diehard R/C hobbiests will revel in the support. To build any really good R/C vehicle you have to buy the rig from one guy, order the drivetrain from someone else, and the motor from another, and the ESC from someone altogether different. It is just plain stupid the way these guys think from the manufacturing point. These are not full size killing machines with rediculous Gov safety regs to uphold. They are higher priced toys for us big kids. And sure there is a learning curve for the younger croud, but that is just the way life is. Being a good mechanic is not a birth given gift for most, it is a learned skill.
