Well, if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you really laugh at.
As I'm daily new to Arrma, but not necessarily RC, I have been on a learning curve for the past 6mos with the nuances of Arrma rigs etc.. So after recently rebuilding my Kraton 6s, I was eager to go ripping around with it as the weather has really been cooperating in the NY Metro area. Got out there and ripped a tire off the rim and snapped an outdrive post!
The next day I came across a nice dirt lot tucked behind out local JR High baseball field so I ran home and got everything pulled and rebuilt and charged up the batteries and ran over there as fast as I could and ehhhh. Front wheels spinning, rears nothing. Go home disappointed to say the least. Giving it a quick inspection, I was dumbfounded and assumed that it had to be the center diff now?
So I start tearing it down, starting at the center diff, ONLY to make my way to the rear and realize in my rush, as I was buttoning everything up, I DID NOT TIGHTEN ALL OF THE DIFF COVER BOLTS!!!!!!!!!! I set them 1/2 way and meant to go back to tighten them after bolting the diff to the chassis.
I still feel like a moron.
Anyone else got some good ones to share??
