I don't think the rollpin was designed as a safety valve, I think its just a lame-o TRX design, good enough for titans (for a while at that.)

If anything, the weak 2mm diff screws are a breakpoint lol. I killed many stock diffs and sliders before the rollpin.

I really like my Revo, it quite tough compared to the Maxx, but I agree that TRX is prone to making lame/weak designs that need to be corrected with aftermarket parts, many of which TRX is smartly supplying. They are getting much better tho. the engineering has really come along way.

They make alot more money on supplying parts if the truck breaks just often enough not to push people away. The Revo is 95% perfect, its just a few little things like weak diffs and a few other odds and ends that need attention that quickly make a ~entry level truck make a high end truggy kit like a Mugen or Xray seem like a bargain after you get nickeled an dimed for little stuff.
