I cought the hpi one way thinking it would be fine.
Well... ive only used the one way 5 battery packs.... and the little prongs on the inside diff holding thing.. that the purple slids over broke Right off... both of them flush. I should have just bought the GPM ONE! CHEAPER AND better.

This whole Front end HPI Did a Crappy job on.

Ive broke
nuckles
drive shafts
rims
Diffs x2
Diff case
pulley

Ill be going up to my lhs 2marrow...calling hpi monday....and not driving my micro 2 night!

disnt someone say that the gpm has the same plastic prongs? i think their first batch had aluminum ones then they switched to plastic. ill have to go look at the old forums to be sure.

The HPI one way is fine. If you boil the housing in water for about 15 minutes the whole thing will be more rigid. I actually went a step beyond and had mine drilled to accept two screws in place of the little "ears". It's virually bullet proof now. One thing about the GPM one-way, use lots and lots of grease.
