Friend of mine bought an XCR. He is constantly sheering pins, breaking axels, clutch bells, you name it.
This thing has fallen apart before the first break in tank went through. He has since up graded the clutch housing and bell to one made by Vertigo. No luck there either and is on his second clutch bell and that one broke yesterday as well. This truck is very impressive but he has yet to run a full tank though it before it falls apart. Just wondering if anyone has any idea on what is going on with this? He has also reached out to DDM where he purchased the truck as well as all the parts and was told to take the issue up with Vertigo. I do not think it's a Vertigo problem. Is there something wrong with the geometry of the drive line that is causing added pressure to the parts and causing them to fail? He wants to continue the hobby but if it's is more than the cost of gas every time he uses it he is gonna ditch the hobby. Now I know things break but this is excessive. I'd like to know something to have a little direction. All info will be greatly appreciated.
