 What DID end up as an "immediate replacement" however, was the 3200KV motor. On the absolute last run, the magnets/anchor came completely loose off the motor shaft/axle, making the mag's rotate in the motor without transferring any power to the shaft and drivetrain. Bummer. I have bolted on the 3000KV, and am hoping that it will hold together better than the 3200 one did.

 Tires have been boiled and set to dry, and will be glued in time for Saturday.

+Not a lot of driving, as I was track supervisor this day. That, and because of water. I managed to run the rig into a fairly deep pool of water, causing mud and water to enter the ESC, killing it off. Testing the ESC at the track indicated that it was completely dead, and I feared I had destroyed the most expensive part on the rig in under a week's time.
+Back home, i pulled the ESC completely apart, and thoroughly cleaned out all signs of dirt, dust and corrosion using electronics cleaner, pressurized air, a copper brush, cotton sticks and patience. During this process I really built up respect for the craftsmanship and engineering done by Tekin. This ESC is solidly built!
+The work of cleaning it paid off, and the ESC still lives.

+I notice well that I am still getting to know this rig. This day, the servo coupling decided to be all places but where I wanted it to be. The fit-ring of the servo horn and the attachment at the servo both decided to wear down hard, and no matter how much tightening I did to the attachment screw, the servo horn slid out of place.
+Back home, I replaced the fit-ring and the screw, and got a proper solid fix. I also discovered that the servo-saver was completely solid, with no give at all! That explains the all-too-soon wear of teeth on the servo out-drive. So, the saver has been trimmed and adjusted, and now has medium slipping, witch should be just right.

+Replacements time. I smacked into a heap of pallets, completely busting the differential housing and a turnbuckle of the front left upper arm. I also spopped off one of those blasted C-clips in the process.
+On the bright side, the adjustments to the servo-saver seems to have been spot on, with not too much give, but actually a smoother, more responsive feel. Seems like that overworked HS-325HB gets a better chance of actually moving the fronts when there is a little give.
