Not the best night last night. My son managed to snap the shock end on the back shock and lose the seat and spring. I'm not really sure how honestly as we only drove for about 5 minutes and most of it was me counting how long he could hold a wheelie, but he did smack it into a car wheel at the end so maybe that did it.
Of course those ends are made of that special material adamantium or maybe its unobtanium and are completely sold out everywhere. Tower lists late April so hopefully they ship soon.
As for the standing backflips. What are you guys doing to get this to do standing backflips? We were doing them fine with the stock pinion, but once it broke, we are having a tough time doing them. I'm guessing the stock pinion wasn't budging on the shaft even with the set screw fully removed so blip the throttle and it worked, the new pinion while it stayed in place last night I'm guessing is moving slightly when we hit the throttle and not giving it quite enough grunt. Should I move up a tooth? Since I have to order a tekno pinion soon anyway, I could go up a tooth if needed, I just want to make sure whatever I do will still work on grass and not overheat the batteries /motor /esc etc.
