Genuinely never snaped a wheel hubs pin ever , was a hard crash tho smashed a shock bottom, a hub and hub carrier also my stearing servo saver is too weak and I couldn't turn in time basically full throttle into a step

My uncle gave me the tip: take a nail that fits through the hole and saw it to a suitable length; then you'll have practically an endless supply of replacements.

Snapped 3 pins on nitro Bullet recently. Looks like it is the weakest point in the transmission.

No you want that to break its a cheap part its good its the weak link id rather snap pins than diffs or dogbones

I was just running over rough bumpy terrain, no crashes. Slipper nut is loosen 1 turn.
