Like a lot of other guys I have got a bunch of different rcs to get frustrated with and work on constantly. Never are they all in running condition at the same time. Usually waiting on a part or motivation to tear into another differential or whatever needs fixed. I have the luck of having the same thing go wrong or same parts breaking. Same thing wrong on different rcs come in waves for me. Last month was the differential month. Didn't have problems with other parts on the rcs but had to replace 6 beveled ring gears and some internal gears in the Savage, one in ring gear in the G3R and the ring gear in the STRR. The month before that was servo month. Went through 6 servos that month. 3 due to a cc bec not working and frying them. A couple cheap stock DST servo and my first HiTec 59xxTG died on me after a long and steady relationship with it. Month before that was axles and bearings. There's always something breaking, it nice to have a place like this to come into and let it off your chest. You'll find out that your not alone in your frustration. This hobby is filled with frustration but it's suppose to build character and patience. Reminds me of the poster back in the late 70's with the two vultures perched in the desert and the caption reads... Patience my ASS! I'm gonna kill something!

Anyways your not alone and when you get a few spare bucks. Start puttng together a nice little 1/10th scale rc. Rustlers parts are cheap off ebay. The rustlers are durable, and can be fast as as you can afford, but still fun to run. What nice about more then one rc is when I get frustrated with one. I can fall back on old faithful (usually my Rusty or FLM Maxx) and go out and have some fun. I don't know if I could hanlde having just one of these and always waiting on something so I could have fun. Felt that way with my Savage waiting on parts and all the problems I had in the beginning with it. Sticking with it pays off though, when you get all the bugs worked out. In your case with the esc it may be finding the pearl in the oyster. But when you do all there is left is to get your money out of your lipos. The forums are great to get your frustration off your chest. It's not like the guys at work understand the pia it is to pull apart the differential, wait for a part, put it together, tear it apart again, wait on a part , put it back together, tear it aprat again, order two beveled gears this time, breaks again, tear it apart, etc. Plus, linc is a great listner when you just want to bitch about the past month of frustration we've been through. He may try and change the subject, to maybe aviod painful memories, but he's listening and cares believe it or not.

It doesn't cost much, to start collecting the parts for a rustler off ebay. Pick up some arms for .99 cents then a chassis for 1.99. I've done a few rcs that way, ends up being a cheap investment and I always have a reason to check the mailbox. Mailman pokes fun at me becuase I will just grab the package and leave the letters/bills in there for couple days. I feel better now. I was able to complain about how my shit break in waves and get the last three months of breakdowns off my chest. Thanks.

We've all felt like giving up at times, but to not give up is where you will find all the rewards.
