I just picked up a very clean XT. It looked great and was missing a front dogbone to the wheel and the engine didn't run(that was fixed within 2 hours with a brand new 29.5 mill from Dog Pile Racing out by me). I took possession of it for $350 with 2 great bodies and a Dominator pipe. I get it home, wire in my Spektrum Rx and fiddle with the servos only to watch the steering servo smoke right up in front of me and discover that the throttle servo was internally stripped. While in disgust, I notice that the all metal gearing is crooked to one another. Under closer examination, I see the gear mounting plate is in two pieces. Great. Another part to replace. I ordered all of these parts and sprung for the aluminum one for $65. Is that plate prone to breaking, or did it take a good hit for it to have snapped like that? The truck looks lightly used as the tires are in great shape and very few underside scratches.
If there are any other tips you would like to throw at me, I'm all ears. As it is, I may be fabbing up part of the rear roll cage to accommodate the Dominator pipe I bought with it. It looks like it fits the MT fine but hits the roll cage on mine. Thanks all
