Sorry havent been on in a long time, I did have the same issue but I also did a very cheap and easy fix I learned from AIR plane guys.. All I did was twine epoxy soaked string over the plastic color, kind of like a cast.. Worked like a charm and was a super easy fix.

This is the t-maxx I am in the middle of building, I have fitted up a pair of LST2 diffs, I machined the side spacers and diff collars myself, the front one has the extra clearance under it to clear the proline steering links. I decided to spend a little time on the lathe at work as it seems collars are the weak spot when opened out for the lst2 diff (hopefully these will hold up ok)\

Hey... what tyres are you using there? The truck looks awesome!

the problem with dremmeling standard collars is very little material left behind so they are weak and break if you push the horse power, at this stage I wont making any more but who knows ( its not a quick job on a 40 year old lathe ).
The tires are team orion street sweepers, they came on 1/2 inch offset rims via Ebay.
