I did. There was less damage, but there is still damage towards the outer end of the cup (the side closer to the wheels). I bent the lip back (yeah, it created a little lip on the outer end) and installed a bearing around the cup. I'll see if it slows down the damage that has been done.
I've watched many videos. You are not alone. I'm thinking 4S is more practical for this rig. Too much casted pot metal in the drivetrain.
My damaged drive cups have been done while running 4s on both Kaijus.
So is this going to keep happening? I have my spares coming tomorrow. Should I just not jump it?
I'll try the lowest hole & rod bump stop first. I bought 2 sets of replacement cups if that doesn't work. I'll save the heat treating for a last resort since I really don't think it'll help much if the suspension is flexing & bottoming out too much.
This is like one of those dreaded single wheel/nose plant combos I've been hearing about
I haven't had many of them but NO car I had ever survived one until I started making huge flexible bumpers. That solved the landing on the wing/wheelie bar too. I still can't do anything about the landing completely on a single wheel or landing upside down. The prior have ended so much of my fun it isn't even funny. The latter is a coin flip, usually survivable. It usually looks worse than it is until you slow it down & see all the awkward arm flexing. It bent the wrong way, forcing the CVA ball deeper into the cup until it had nowhere else to go. Just like what happened with mine & the tree but mine fell vertically on its nose. No power at all, I could of caught it (or batted it away ) if I was under it.
Yeah, if you are going to buy it, get the extra parts. I've broken both of mine because of my crazy driving and small ramps mostly. Even my Arrmas suffer similar fates honestly. I'm talking about constant bad landings and endless tumbles on grass and dirt. You will probably break less, if you nail the landings more often than me and my almost 4yr old son. The value is absolutely there for $399, or less like someone mentioned here on the forum. So I would say go for it.
Do you own a 6S outcast/notorious or the 4S version?
