Come on Ecx, stop being like Traxxas, instead of "upgrading" the electronics in your vehicles why not fix the issues that these vehicles currently have like

• The craptastic servo saver
• The driveshafts that break on 2s
• The design of the caster blocks and front axle carriers - I know I am not the only one who is sick of loosing shoulder screws.
• The rear a arms that catch rocks and tear up the axles.
• The massive amounts of slop in everything.

I got the aluminum axle carriers after my second ones stripped out. Loc-tite the screws in, never been an issue since. Those u-joints, though. I was a denier of this issue for a while, but recently broke 2 in 3 runs. With a 20t Brushed motor. Really? LOL

I too upgraded to the Hot Racing caster blocks and front axle carriers, I haven't lost a screw yet. I do wish Hot Racing would redesign the axle carriers to accommodate larger bearings like the Rpms do.
I've been temped between the Hot Racing axles that the guys in another thread have been having good luck with or the MIPs. I actually have gotten to the point to where I buy 2 pairs of the stub axles and 2 pairs of the half shafts for the Stampede 4x4, its cheaper to buy the parts separate than to buy the entire axles. I can get a pair of stub axles and half shafts for $14 where the complete axles are $20.
I don't get any notifications from here anymore and I do not know why, I also stopped getting email notifications from the Arrma Forum I still get the pop up notifications in Chrome for the Arrma Forum but nothing from here.

Goddamnit Hot Racing, that's 10-15 packs max. I'll get a few of the broken parts and the new version (made out of better steel etc).

Well shoot, so these ones are a no go because the dog bones bind in the diff outdrives at full suspension compression http://hot-racing.com/?partnumber=SECT288;c=685
These http://hot-racing.com/?partnumber=SECT288M06;c=685 break a lot too.
Anyone want to be the Guinnie pig and buy a set of these http://hot-racing.com/?partnumber=SECT288RC;c=685 at that price point you might as well buy MIPs.

I have a set coming in the mail. For my next build though the MIPs sound better. Got a precise model and reference?

Rear X Duty drive shafts Stampede 4x4 MIP11109 I have heard that you can loose some of the suspension range with those shafts. I have also heard of people using the Traxxas CVDS for the Stampede 4x4 rear. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/202084955886
