Good...I need a pic of something. I got a wild hair to get mine up and running again today but years ago when I last used it I ran into an issue. I had the AWD kit in mine with the lithium ion upgrade and the power was enough to tear the dog bones to shreds on the AWD kit.

I tried reinstalling the stock front suspension but I'm having a problem with the driveshaft. The shaft goes from the pinion gear in the rear to just past the front carrier bearing in the front of the car....but it can easily slide forward out of the pinion gear. Was there a part in the front end that kept the driveshaft from sliding forward? If so can somebody dig their car out and snap me a quick picture?

I will try to find mine and post a pic for you. I know I still have it, just not sure if it's at my house packed away or at my mom's house packed away.

Thanks Justin that would be great. I'm watching a few new awd kits online as well so if I win them I'll just reinstall and try to find some aluminum axles so I don't trash them again. But if I can get the stock setup back today or tomorrow to play around with that would be killer.

Hey Justin don't worry about digging yours out. I ordered all new aluminum axles, dog bones, steering knuckles, etc for the car today for a great price so I'll be reinstalling the awd kit with the beefier parts.

One of these days I have to dig my RC's out of the attic. I've got a Nitro monster truck (Losi LST w/Nova Rossi .28), one or two ofna buggies with Picco .28's in them, an electric rock crawler, etc. Haven't touched any of them in *years*.
