So after wrecking yet another chassis. Which makes a total of three I have decided no more running the Big Rock around work and parking lots nearby. I seem to have a knack for finding the worst possible things to run into. I think maybe I should run a smaller battery?! the first chassis broke figuring out how to jump and land the right way. Cracked across the back diff , I know NOVICE. lol
The second and third ones are from me running almost full speed into either a concrete pad or in the last case a metal sewer drain. On this last crash the battery (again) came bursting forward from the momentum and broken the front battery holder clean off the chassis. Also this time I cracked the motor back case, bent the aluminum motor mount, broke front body mount and finally broke my brand new Pro Line Power stroke shock on the left front Oh and also broke my RPM front control arm.
Now I cant find a new chassis locally, so I used some heavy duty glue with a resin and re attached the battery hold down. Put my old front shocks back on. Straightened the motor mount and glued the back motor case. now to get some new RPM front arms tomorrow and get it at least running again.
I have been tinkering with the idea of buying maybe a Kraton or something a little more heavy duty?
Thoughts?
Anyways I am getting tired of fixing it so much lately.
Oh well at least its pretty when its all back together
