What did you break today?

[jondilly1974]

Again?

Yes sir. Same side skirt too. Fan is lost for good. Not a big deal. I already have a spare skirt printed. About to swap over to a C8 body soon too. Just waiting for the last few pieces of my rear wing.

It seems to have an attraction for the offroad life...

It started its life as a Typhon 6S and has dirt in it’s bloodline

 

[TriggerHappy]

Maybe you need sum belted badlands for your speedruns

@jondilly1974 I thought speed running was primarily done on asphalt. I think a truggy might be better for your terrain.

That’s why I bought the MEXB

Hit the jump in the spot where it's all messed and took a nasty tumble. For sure though there was going to be more damage.
Axle carrier and caster block broken, screw and steering bushing missing, 1 bent cvd, dislodged the esc and broke the top plate.

I also finished off the wing on the Vorza and broke the wing mount.

 

[Cheez]

NOTHING!! Ran the Mojave EXB and Kraton hard!
Wait, want pictures?

It's a truck in a field. Doesn't seem all that out of place..............Unless of course you are speed running. I'm starting to feel better about my speed driving skills the more you post in this thread
I ran all four of these this past weekend, and didn't break a thing

That second photo with the typhon is amazing

 

[slick2500]

Looks like the steering hub was ‘sanded’ out from the inside resulting in the shaft with hex and bearings popping out.

Update:
it was the inner bearings that ‘dissolved’.View attachment 141838..

Is that the Reely Raptor/FS Racing Atom/FTX DR8?

Eagle eyes you got there. Yes it’s the FTX DR8.

I would like to get one but parts support here is not the best.

Wait... you can jump arms street cars?

 

[Edough13]

Took the Noto back out for some big sends off the ramp today. First couple flips landed on the rear and snapped the Tbone rear bumper and then checking the rig over afterwards noticed I exploded one of the rear bearings lol the twisted race was wrapped around the driveshaft

 

[Monster Dork]

Dang... TBR stuff sure doesn't hold up on our heavy thumpers. The stuff is absolutely bomb proof on lighter cars, though. Bummer!

You can buy one on EuroRC.com. I drive it on 4s (72 kmh on 16T, 85 kmh on 19T) and it’s been solid.
As for spares I would order it with a center diff mount (plastic), or even better, buy an aluminium one (I ordered one two days ago on Aliexpress, also one for the Mojave ), suspension arms and steering carriers. Basically all other things are quite (1/8 scale, Arrma) generic, but I have F/R diff input/output gears as spares since they are spiraled.
After one year, the F/R diff output cups and center diff output cups are starting to show some wear where the dogbone hits them. Although they look the same as the Arrma ones I bought ZD racing ones, since I like to search and buy things to try them ( and they look the same and are cheap) and will probably replaced end of this year.
Let me know if I changed your mind
