Spent a little time today prepping my kraton and notorious for a trip to a new skate park tomorrow. If anyone is in the central Kentucky area I'll be heading to berry hill park in Lexington off buckhorn. My day is open so if anyone can make it let me know and I'll plan to meet you there.

good luck brother! send them things.. and have a bunch of fun doing it...im about to check out some concrete skate park local to me on monday.. looks like fun..we will see... look forward to hearing how it went for you... (y)
 
I'm down any time. Find us a spot somewhere around Frankfort or if it's epic enough I'll drive all the way to you. I have family in Frankfort and visit quite often so just let me know and I'll bring my toys.

Damage report after an amazing day at a new found skate park. The people and the park were inviting and I got lots of cheers and questions from kids and adults all day. The notorious took the worst hit but all three trucks I took came home injured.

My notorious hit lvc in mid giant jump so I watched it helplessly fall back to earth landing on its butt. Broke one rear arm and broke the bulkhead allowing the other arm to slide out and make me think it was broken as well. The crash destroyed the rear lower front hinge pin brace and bent both hinge pins. Amazingly the wing mount lived. At some point I broke a wheel possibly on the same crash and both shock towers were warped. The massive airs also caused my chassis to flatten in the front where it's normally angled from the factory lol. Had an extra new bulkhead in my stash and extra arms and rear hinge pin brace from upgrading my Kraton to rpm and hot racing. So much red loctite on the drive cup I had to heat it to remove it after removing the set screw. Straightened the pins and put it all back together ready for the next trip to the skate park this week.

My kraton busted a body and a shock rod end. Also bent a front CVD but luckily I had all parts in stock and it's also ready to get back to the insane jumps at the park.

My erevo surprisingly held up to some serious abuse and only broke the pin on one of the cvd axles inside the drive cup. I have extras but thanks to a member here I will use my tool I copied from him to remove the broken pin and push in a new one. Roof clamp for the win!

All in all it was an awesome day driving rc. I have to get some orders on to eBay so I can get my stock built back up so I have what I need to keep them going after the next day out. If anyone would like to join me just let me know and we'll make a plan.

I live in Lexington, and I just got a Kraton. Hopefully the parks open up soon. Will be looking for a bashing site soon! This is my family's first off-road, we have a couple of touring 1/10 that we run on our subdivision roads, so hopefully this thing will be a little tougher. I got the materials to build a launch ramp, but going to the park sounds like a lot of fun.
My son goes to WKU, there is a nice skatepark there that rarely has anyone using it.
