once i went through the truck and addressed some of the potential issues, mainly polishing all ball studs, adjusting all arms, applying appropriate thread lock to certain grub screws, adding a T-Bone front bumper and a Dusty Motors shroud, i charged a entry level 2S pack and took it outside for a little bashing. nothing crazy - mostly on a street, a little paved driveway and a couple charges through grass off of a small curb into the street.
i heard this incessant racket the entire time but wasn't sure if that was simply the nature of the beast. i cleaned it up and took it to the bench. i noticed that one of the rear outdrives was wobbling, so much that it was nipping the top of the gear box that covers the outdrive and ripping plastic off of it. i took it apart and noticed the outdrive was stuck to the diff. i finally figured out how to get it off and couldn't see what was wrong. it's either the output shaft, outdrive, combo of both - who knows, but the truck is down. i called Associated and told them and they told me i was outside of the 90 day warranty so tough luck - no new diff for me. and on top of it, they and everyone else is out of stock of the diff anyway.
so after the truck sat NIB for several months, less than one run later here it sits again, unusable.
this is what i get for buying a rebadged Chinese RTR from what i thought was one of the best brands, a brand that i have bought kits from since the late '80s.
i will never buy an Associated RTR again.
EDIT:
bringing it up one star, from 2 to 3.
after quite a bit of research in a thread on rctech, i was able to get this thing to become a very reliable truck. it's lightweight, handles well and once all the issues are sorted, it's not bad at all. i did a lot to it. but, it still has the stock motor and ESC. i run it every so often, on 3S...and it's been fine.
however, i still can't recommend it unless you have a background in RC and are willing to dig into it from the get go to solidify the truck by going through it accordingly...and you get it for a screaming deal, too. otherwise, look elsewhere!
if you really want an RTR SCT, just get a Senton, refill the diffs in that and go have fun and know that if something isn't right, at least you won't have Associated telling you to take a hike.
