Granite Piling up the plastic

[Vmabuck]

I realize people here must have mountains of broken bits but it’s fun starting that pile. This thing is such a pleasure to work on. Arrma really went the extra distance to make this thing easy to work on.

Now I just hope they can catch up on the demand for parts. It makes me nervous when eBay is my only resort for some things.

But I am back up and running with some new shocks and A arm so all is good until the next jump LOL!

@Vmabuck what parts are you finding to be giving you the most issues?

 

[Vmabuck]

Nothing atypical I don’t think but the front bumper is literally useless. Everything else seemed to hold pretty well until a hard direct hit on something solid. I have broke these parts so far:

1. Front a arm
2. Front bumper x 2 never lasted more than 10 minutes...
3. Wheelie bar
4. Body mounts
5. Shock mount

I don’t know how other people treat thei Granite but I am out trying to send it so I expect something to break. But nothing surprising has broke for me yet.

I have hit the stock bumper like that on numerous occasions, yet other people breathe on them and they break ? It’s so weird! By the way, I’m running my Granite front bumper on the BRCC. I think the stock chrome one would have busted.

Ya it’s strange about the bumper deal.

But ya,you can’t fault anyone for those solid a arm smacks LOL! That’s just part of the game. Speaking of that, I should order another couple packs because I know it will happen again soon...

There isn't much that can hold up to hitting a boulder head on.
