Losi strikes out again - 04.19.2010, 10:09 AM

I have said it before and I'll say it again, I hate Losi and don't understand why there is so much love for there vehicles! I gave Losi another shot awhile ago and bought a 1/18 crawler, also my first venture into crawling. It's been sitting since Easter cause I stripped out the rear diff locker. Why they would use such a weak design on a crawler is beyond me, to top it off I can't even get the whole diff apart cause the its bitty phillips head screws that hold the diff together, two of the eight won't budge. I filled it with super glue and put it back together and it seems to be working. But after I waited for it to dry and started playing with it it became painfully clear that the steering servo was about dead! It won't even turn the wheels on carpet, just makes an awful squealing sound. Not willing to go buy another lousy Losi servo or try figuring out what will fit there I decided to make my own mounting plate and mount a 1/10 scale servo. It's not the best servo by any means, just a Spektrum z590, but it had worked in my CRT.5 with good results so I figured it'd be up to the task of this little crawler. Why can't Losi put at least an ok servo on this thing, something that will last more than 5 or 6 packs? I'm pretty sure this is my last venture with Losi!!!
