Was a really nice day out, mid 50's when I got to the bmx track, with a decent breeze.
Broke a rear hex hub pin on the outcast at the skate park. Thought it likely destroyed the hub, so ordered a set from the car before I left. Got home and fixed it with a spare hardened steel pin. The hub seemed fine.
The revo held up great. I got brave with it and hit a jump I wasn't 100% sure it would clear. Took a few tries to find a line to hit it fast enough. Was nearly pinned at the launch and the rear tires landed 6 inches from the edge of the top of the jump. Much slower and it would have been a nasty lawn dart into the side of a hill!
I also made little clips to lock the XT90's together. This was my first bash session ever with a revo where the plugs didn't separate once! I wish someone would make something like these... fiddling around with a dremel for 30 minutes is annoying. I'd rather pay $5 for someone else to cnc/mold/print them.
Only real bummer is the DS3225 25kg servo I put in the outcast seems to be junk. The tires push it around a lot when it should be strong enough to hold them straight. Ended up with a lot of body rub from the front tires going all nutty in the air. Since I repaired the savox 1210sg, I think I'll try putting that back in and see how it does.
I also tweaked the rear titanium tower on the outcast, set I got from a guy in Russia on ebay. It took some nasty hits today and it made contact with the body at the skate park and ground a hole through it.
