i would keep an eye on your dogbones. I shredded the pins on one of my fronts using an x-speed on orion 750's.
It looks like the upgrade parts won't be available until the lazer is released too.
Well, I shredded the pins off one of the dogbones . Problem with them is there made of plastic. I can see an aluminum or titanium upgrade in the near future.
Turning too sharp will totally shred the back "spur" on the drive shaft that turns the rear diff. I'm on my 2nd replacement. :/ Guess the spur going is much better (cheaper) than the diff.

So the rear drive gear is shredding in the gearbox? Sounds like 2 things.
1. Your slipper is too tight. Try adding the lube they offer to make it more slippery or remove more of the "wings".
2. You need a rear ball differential to not so much slip, but help to "dampen" the jerking movement the differential is making. Universals would help as well.
Since the Chili motor seems to work fine in the buggy, I'm assuming this motor will also be fine without any FET mods? I'm looking to get a Lazer to drive indoors and to mess around with the dog a bit. Don't want crazy speed, just a bit more than the kit motor Kyosho usually installs. Thanks.
Got my buggy on Fri.. Got about 5-6 packs through it when I had a Diff failure.. Rear diff - Shredded the spider gears... Strange.. Replacement on the way for 15.99 plus shipping! If this happens again , I guess I will have to go the ball diff route (if I can afford it!).. looks like $52.00 for one complete diff!! Maybe I need to adjust the slipper/ Any tips on this? Are the slippers coming out of the box too tight? I have not checked it yet. Maybe I should have
