    Earl!!!!! Thanks for the MULTIPLE shoutouts. You didn't pop your front diff cover so I'm curious to know if you found water intrusion in the front as that's where I'm finding it from mine. I thinking because that's where the maxx hits hardest when going through water (and snow)😜😂 like The Parting of the Red Sea😝🤣😜😂👍💯👊

    if you take the fan out of the new Maxx Motor Fan housing you will see how Traxxas fixed the issue. They put a spacer (piece of foam) on the housing to keep them from moving so much.

      @@earlmoorhead5555 I wish I could send a picture they added a piece of foam to the housing itself. I called them when we broke both of James' and the guy I talked to sent me a set even though I told him I was going out to the the store at Traxxas HQ which is about 30 minutes from me and at the store they gave me another set both are complete with the new housings. I told the guy at the store I was going to do your fix with the epoxy and he asked me not to as these new housings were designed to not need it so they wanted me to try them without the "fix" and let them know how it worked. It has been over a month now and so far they are working great and James bashes the crap out of this thing you can see that in our videos

    So second question. Do your rear arms seem to have any play at the arm pin area. Mine seem a little wobbly around the pin and arm joint.
    On the rear arms especially are wiggly compared to the front.

      Interesting to know some come with threaded pins stock the extra hard Steele pins is a upgrade part Aparently.
      And the rear arms I was wondering for the slop WhY this one got some slop / arm slop back and forth on the pin it makes the wheels feel loose
      🤷‍♂️
      Atleast I see this stuff.
      I’m going into the Arrma arm pin spacers for slop adjustment and eliminating the slop as it should have been stock 👊😀

      Maybe because he is a youtuber XD horizon hobby were 10 times more kind than traxxas for me their shitty esc they wanted me to send it and take 4 weeks of waiting and they would have tell me to buy the same esc for half the retail price. Horizon hobby covers for 2 years for arrma at least about anything that is out of your control esc motor bearong explosion and their consequances they all cover it and understand what your going trought when i did that with traxxas they said we only send you remplacements for the first time. If something out of your control happens traxxas wont cover a dime its 30days or your out for any remplacements on the elctronics
