I just recently got my Rustler running on 4S lipo and a 36-60-2000 medusa and haven't ran for more than 10min in a row without a trans failure. First it was the planetaries, then the plastic diff, now the VXL-steel ringed diff ate the aluminum idler gear. I'm going to buy a FLM trans case to see if that helps at all.

Are you running a steel idler or aluminum? What Zippy lipos are those that you have in the pic above?

Thanks Raze, Phildogg is right it's a VXL trans, with original gearing

The lipos are 6S2P Zippy Flightmax 5000mah 25C...on loan from a trusting friend. I'll be returning to 4S for some runs next week

I thought it would be interesting to replace some parts when they failed rather than do everything...I'm impressed with nearly everything. If it wasn't run over by a 1:1 car earlier this year, I suspect I'd still be using the stock plastic trans
