The plastic isn't so bad, but the bearing they use with the plastic...wow, it's like they design it to fail within a month. I have 2 of these trucks. First bearing went out so I ordered the metal bell for both. But, somehow when the bearing went and binded the motor it took something else with it. Probably something to do with all those censored wires going in there. Decided I may as well wait for it to fail before replacing the second one as well. That was a mistake. When it went it also took something else with it. So now both systems are in the mail on their way back to Novak for repair. Why am I telling you all this. Just in case any of you ever get one, buy the metal endbell/bearing/rotor upgrade and replace the plastic one ASAP. Don't wait for it to break like I did.

Sorry for the off topic. Figured I may as well say something since it was brought up anyways.
