TXT 1 help please

Just checking in with those of you that have a TXT1, are you fixing the axel link bars every time you run it too?

they seem to un screw really easily and I’m loathe to use thread lock on the plastic eyes, does anyone do aluminum hop  running stock except for an esc (hobbywing 880) and because of that I can use 4s. It was breaking before I used 4s just in case that’s adding to the ease it breaks!

I fully realize after watching the below that I am an average driver at best!

Do you mean the 4-link bars?  The rod end coming loose?  Does it actually come loose, or are the thread in the plastic rod end stripped?  Definitely don't use threadlock in the plastic, but you can try either white glue or E6000 and as long as the threads aren't stripped it should help hold it together.

You could also swap the stock ends out for Traxxas Revo ends fairly cheaply.  You will need screws and nyloc nuts to replace the stock ball studs but they are much stronger than the Tamiya rod ends.
