In general, stay away from the yellow/light blue ones sold at rc4wd, among others, which are quite bellow in quality, but not so different in price, from the Lesu ones.
It goes with the saying. You get what you pay for. These are top notch for sure.

Thanks. Be fun trying.
Sealing the lesu tanks that have caps on each end that leak.

Drain the oil out.

loosen the set screws that hold the end caps on and remove end caps.

Clean the inside of the tank and both end caps well with rubbing alcohol.

Using clear silicone caulking place a bead of it all around each end cap over the rubber O-ring and push the end cap back on.

If you put enough silicone on it you will have silicone that oozed out the edges of the tank that can be wiped off using rubbing alcohol. Remove the excess silicone right away and it will all come off nicely. Let the tank sit over night. It won't leak again.
Havent checked to see if it leaks yet. [still moving] That's the first thing I will do if it does thanks for the tip.

I am actually surprised, positively. Hopefully they will continue on this path, and we will see more trucks that are much more value for money than the Scalearts
I'm very impressed and pleased with mine.

There should be adjustments on the drag link or tie rods.
