Finally was advised to try the graphite knucks and whoa! The very early ones plastic was just poor as were the early esc - mine lasted 3wks and the smoke got out. I didn't bother dtx for another, I wouldn't run it, waste of time. MQ been super since then and I've worn out 2 sets of chevron tires I've drive it so much, prob thru 6 or 7 motors. Its getting a mamb2 25 and an align with a FP 3S 1600 as soon as batt shows up. I expect that to kill the orig diffs finally and may need cvd, but I'll wait and see.

rschoi_75 is not the only to benefit from sudden TH unannounced, fire sales - I have enough to build it at least twice over for cheap. I bought my MQ-SE with TH discount code and its been good from the start. Mamba 25 and GH3500. I run with low kv since that doesn't seem to tear up drivetrains.

As big of a pain as my 1st MQ was, the Vendetta buggy has been the opposite in sweet. Its been nearly perfect. I went bl as soon as it arrived, mamba 25, CoolRed 3500kv heli motor (sale - $24.99 shiped) running either 2 or 3s. Only things ever happened - had dog bone pin come out of stock plastic cvd. A little CA for all and its never happened again. Solid yr and half running gear diffs hard before they went, $20 worth of ball diffs (on sale!) and its gone almost as long. Mine are run mainly in the street, mostly wot or near wot. Get 20+ min of fun everytime. Detta has been one of the best rcs I've owned.

Was the MQ the RTR or SE? The RTR had some troubles that the SE corrected
