I'm running small indoor track lots of stop and go. I added washer to slipper plate so can clamp it down good but I notice that if I compress spring completely it Bends the spur shaft and when I turn tires be hand I can see it
then I saw that the belt actually goes up and down just a hair but. This might be where heat is coming from maybe spur had run runout causing a bind with pinion ? Just thinking out load any help or advice thanks..

First let me say I have bought almost ever type of kit from them from onroad, oval, truck, 18T, buggy 4wd buggy, sc, sc4wd and up to this point have loved every minute.

I built the kit and although had to make several adjustments with the drimel wasn't upset bc all my parts were there and I would have rebuilt the diffs and shocks anyway bc thats just how I am...I enjoy building the kit and knowing what I have.

Well the 1st weekend after buying the truck 2 days after its initial release I broke a rear shock tower coming off a jump...was it my fault...sure it was...was it a shotty custruction or kit, no...well I say no I only have 2 minutes of run time, but the kit seems solid.

So where is my problem, well I cant get a shocktower...heck I can't even get a call back from AE...I just have to keep calling till someone answers. Everyone is backorderd becasue they haven't released parts...I understand that they wanted to get the kit out, I really do but this is really poor planning and customer support and should have been rethought.

So why after weeks of waiting...calling and sitting waiting while others race am I posting? Because upon calling today after leaving to 2 messages regarding future parts availability, I finially get to talk to someone who says parts will be in next week...which is great...but wait...AE is closed next week due to inventory...they will be accepting the delivery and not sending out to distributors or selling for another week. This did it I am done with it...all I want is a part...I have spent $1000s on AE kits, electonics, batteries, and parts, been a loyal customer and this is what I get. My $1000s may be nothing compared to what some spend but for me it has been what I could spend and I chose them. Well no more...make it right or loose me forever I am done...I don't want anything for free just to be able to buy a part for the kit I bought from you so I can enjoy it maybe some follow up. If you have parts coming in you should make an exception and get them out. Your customers are what makes you. You are wrong.
