Haha, oooh, burn. But an accurate burn. Don't ask me how many sets of gears/drive pins/CVD's I've been thru in that thing. 
*ahem*
Anyway, so two weekends of racing? Or two weekends of packs, those could be very different things.
If it's just a couple of packs I'm the type that would just sit there and hammer the thing until it broke in.
That is really odd though that they made that fundamental a mistake.

I e-mailed hotracing, but got no reply, so dont count on any customer support from them. Plus, if you look in the first pic, on of the diff halves is missing the groove for the o-ring in it
I contacted the seller and he took care of it, thank you Todd at thetoadzrc.Initially I was dissapointed with them, but all the kinks aside, they work pretty well.

The Vice President of Horizon Hobby stopped by my work on the way through a Northwest visit and really wanted to know why I wasn't a Losi guy seeing as how much I was a Horizon Hobby fan in their Air and Helicopters. I told him It's like Chevy and Ford, or Coke and Pepsi. That I just love my Associated products. His traveling partner that was there kinda nudged me a bit too talking about how i'd be "taken care of."
I'd have infinite support for my Losi 8ight, mini 8ight, 5iveT, SCTE, etc. But ... it's not my RC/SC-8/10.
/mindscratcherNo, he did not come to see 'me'. I just ended up in the conversation.

Yessir!
Hopefully I will have gotten rid of the sLosi by then and have an SC104x4. I'm still acquiring all the parts and spares I need for my 8.2's (since these are my primary classes) as well as buying new nitro motors, so hopefully the Income Tax fairy will be nice to me and I'll be able to swing the new SC before Mike's.

So, has anyone bent a topshaft more than once? What is causing this?

I would say you have a bind somewhere, but you should break a idler or another plastic gear before you should ever bend or break a shaft. Go through your truck and see if you can find anything that looks out of place, ie wear marks.

The bolts are lighter, but you don't want to take weight off the truck, you need to add more weight. I don't know about everyone else, the Losi trucks can push an SC10 4x4 out out the way very easily. Spend the money on Mantis new center diff, Coyote's chassis brace, Exotek chassis, or something that will make the truck run better.
I agree there are areas that are more important to spend money on first, but after your done with the big things you can move on to the smaller areas. Plus I like the way they look.
