What did you break today?

[Velodromed]

I've had em for a year. So imo they are worth it. I've hit numerous things. But never a mailbox at wot.

Thank you. I’m putting them on my Kraton all way round so that’s good to hear.

Have you checked the chassis for straightness ?

Might be putting horizontal load on the bearing casing heat.

 

[Monster Dork]

Looks like a typical spun bearing. Bummer, bulkheads are a pain to remove and replace.

There's no possibility of it being bent... this has been around the 10th or 12th times running it. But.. the brace from "sfr" might be causing it to flex. So I am going to buy another brace for the xlx2 and throw the chassis braces back on and see if it's the issue the whole time.

Nah. I can get it out within 10 minutes now. The limitless is super simple to do. Compare to the kraton.

Lol Yeah maybe need to get those tree trim down

 

[Armarookie43]

Not my video, but his EXB K8S is pretty much exactly like mine. Yeah, I'll try to avoid them poles. Brand new one too

 

[Infraction666]

Back again with the Kraton just fix it so it's ready again..

Doing some big jumps with my Talion that I just went thru whole truck ( M2C chassis , diffs , all bearings , and brand new DS3235 servo ), well , not even thru the first battery pack upon jumping moderately high with the Talion , the new servo stripped out inside !!!! All of my jumps were with not one crash or bad landing , but from some decent height landing on compacted dirt , flat chassis slap landings is how the servo died .
Ironically , I took out the perfectly working original servo to do an " upgrade ' !!!!
This is the jump that the Talion broke on , went same distance as the Mojave doing the jump .

And another rear arm

 

[Armarookie43]

Sketer did not like my upside down landing. I bent the crap out of the rear shock tower

 

[Adiabatic]

Jumped for almost an hour yesterday and only cracked the wing and had a pillow ball retainer loosen. Count the good bashing days when they happen because the next one might be carnage.

 

[The Bean]

I can't ever run for 15 minutes without something going wrong! How do you guys manage to keep it going?

 

[Adiabatic]

It's hard to give a definitive response to that but I guess R/Cing since I was a young kid and having developed a good intuition for how to set things up properly and drive without putting undue stress on the car most of the time has something to do with my success rate. Sometimes I break within 15 minutes or even 5 minutes though. One bad landing can turn a Kraton into a gimp.

Turning out to be a destructive week. Took the Kraton to a new bash spot and inadvertently landed what was supposed to the the last big jump of the session on a steel/concrete garbage can. Broken rear lower arm, bent inner hinge pin, bent hinge pin brace, bent dogbone, sheared upper shock bolt, bent wing mount screws, slightly tweaked shock tower, and cracked front bumper support presumably from earlier in the run.View attachment 214083View attachment 214084View attachment 214085

Land with the wheels down

 

[The Bean]

2 days ago I broke my Notorious before I even touched the throttle

The servo stopped working. Last time I used it, it worked fine

Too many variables. Sometimes I get 20+ jumps in. And sometimes I jump ONCE, and something breaks

Mechanical components break and/or wear to a certain extent every time we/you use them. It may not fail this run but may fail the next.
