Okay, I just got my Overland 1 week ago, installed some ball bearings, and I already broke the front knuckles, cracked the centers of my front wheels where the bearings go, broke off a front fog light, and wore out the 2 spare wheel nuts. What's up with that?

I just ordered some alloy knuckles, wheels, and nuts from dinball. I hope nothing else breaks on it. I haven't gotten a ball diff yet, cause I'm so used to the rough Epoch Indoor Racer diff's. The stock Overland diff seems super smooth compared to that. I'll get one soon.

Anything else I can expect? I really don't run it that hard. I don't hit anything blunt with the front wheels any larger than a pencil or maybe a smidge taller. (not at full speed of course) Let me know if I should think about getting anything else before it breaks, so I don't have to wait for 3 weeks delivery to install it.

Check out Mini-ZRacer.com Forums for a thread all about what OL parts break etc.; also, check out the MZR Shop for 2-3 day shipping instead of 3 weeks from dinbull. ;)

tiny do I detect annoyance, I guess you gotta keep it in the family.
