Wow. I've had my dNano less than a week, and already run into both of the original problems laid out here. It took me all of an hour to try running my dNano on the floor and pull up enough fuzz and hair to gum up one of the front steering knuckles. However, even after addressing this problem, the diff started slipping excessively and I would have to go in and tighten the hubs over and over. Afterward, I first got 15 minutes, then less and less race time before the rear wheel power would diminish into nothing. At this point my diff will start slipping in about 30 seconds of racing on carpet. And the hub never actually seems loose or anything when I check it. We tried bearing oil on it and it made it spin a little more freely, but not slip less. So I'm getting the ball diff once they're in stock here. I probably abused it the first couple of days, crashing so often and occasionally revving against the barrier to try to get unstuck. I do wish Atomic's ball diff had been better, so I wouldn't have to buy yet another Kyosho part...
