I recently purchased a RTR NT18MT :D and I am getting a little worried about the quality of the product.
Here is why, during break in in broken lower front suspension arm from a turn,broken axel. weeks to get new part. :cry:
first run, broken rear turnbuckle, bent chassis, blown diff's ( front and back). This was being run in an indoor garage with a smooth sealed concrete floor. the truck was just run in a figure 8 to get the steering and throttle trimed out. :cry: :cry:

After spending weeks getting parts, the distributers in my area do not carry parts, I am again not able to run her, seems the clutch bell and shoes are worn out. And I haven't even put 2 liters of fuel in it.
So lets see $300 USD for car, RTR,$85 USd axel,turnbuckle replacement,lower arm,bearings( they were bad as well) , $100 various misc parts for rebuild I am into a car, that doesn't run and won't for 3 more weeks , $485 USD for the paper weight that holds the spare parts list for an XRAY NT18MT. :evil:

Any suggestions on where to get parts, that hold up better, doesn't take 3 weeks to get, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg to get?

Maybe I should have gotten the Inferno. :shock:

Dont get frustrated, lets see what we all here can do to help you.

How did your diffs fail? Did you break them in per the below?
http://www.teamxray.com/teamxray/showfi ... le_id=2916

How did you lower arms break? Are you running in lower temperatures or hit that area in a mishap in a crash?

You can get [url=http://www.teamxray.com/teamxray/products/proddesc.php?prod_id=1481]Adj. Turnbuckle Set for Toe-in Adjustment M18T
Part number: # 383302[/url](like front) versus the stock plastic. You can also get if you want to upgrade your axles.

Try contacting xray@rcamerica.com to see if they can suggest a dealer near you to order parts. (Assuming your in US)

Yep, did the diff break in per the manual, already up graded axels($35 per set),knuckles($28 each), adj. turnbuckles ($38) just to start.

they don't have any stronger upper nor lower suspension arms ( these seem to break on turns( left or right).

The chassis bent just behind the front diff mounting points, the car actually now has a stepped on look.

And order parts here in the US ? took 3 1/2 weeks to get the axels, they still haven't gotten a new clutch bell 9 ordered the same time as the other spare parts.

8 weeks owning it, have actually not gotten to run it more than 10 min at a time with a 3 ( at least) week wait for parts. some I ordered by part number and they still got them wrong. car is just a plain hassel, fixing it more than driving. They build them in the old Yugo Plant?

Sounds like you need to learn to drive. Come on, a bent chassis? Things don't bend by turning, maybe turning into something like a wall! Blown diffs and worn out parts maybe but when you break a part it usually is from hitting something.

Well I don't believe you, unless the law of pyshics ceases to exist in your garage. THings dont bend on there on. I owned the Inferno 09 and that car is a maintence nightmare. The center bones wore out in less than 10 tanks. The clutchbell wore out right after that. They do offer hopups that help but the intial quality is low, the engines are great though. But do yourself a favor and dont run them in your bizzaro world garage.
