What did you break today?

[Velodromed]

Had a good bash today with these three I selected to run. I was good until I used the wrong wrench to remove the 7mm nut and chewed it up. Bonehead move using the wrong tool. Had to use the dremel to get the wheel off so I could get to the nut off. Nothing I tried worked. Need to order another bedlock rim

Get a pair of these. They are amazing for removing stuff like that. This is a cheap pair, they have better quality ones for twice as much. But just the cheap pair has taken care of the many issues of this nature I had set aside out of frustration. It is one of my favorite tools now.

Second Run..... I swear horizon, it was a 3 inch jump max and the buggy exploded Really don't understand how no arms snapped but the bulkhead and chassis did??

Updated just realized while putting it back together that the driveshaft stripped out also. Back to the hobby shop again.

They will lock on to a dead flush stripped out button head and remove it easy, Or grip a broken off barely visible piece of M3 screw shaft so you can back it out. Someone here on the forum recommended them and I grabbed one instantly because I had so many things that I needed a tool like this for.

They are made in Japan and extremely quality built, even the cheapest pair impressed me by how good it is. I’m getting the small version next for tiny screws in tiny places. This one below…

I posted this regarding the first thing I use them on. A broken off screw that had defeated me in every way I tried to remove it.

I just ordered the PZ-58.

I just ordered the PZ-58.

I wish I had noticed that one, I like it better than what I got. It’s just a couple dollars more also.
One thing about the one I got though is it has the adjustable jaws that will widen if needed. I’ve used that feature a few times.

What do you guys do with the other 3 tires when you just blow one? I'm regluing the proline cuz I literally ran em for 3 minutes. Can I just mix/match them as long as they're the same diameter?

Buy two new ones and keep one used one as a spare. I've got about 10 sets of Backflip Lp's from doing that.

 

[joshludden]

Ah yes, that's a great idea!! No one ever said I was the smartest guy around!!!

Glue the one that blew apart back together with BSI IC2000.

I’ve caught my car once. Launched it off a dirt jump, it came straight at me and reaction took over. It was a 3s car though. That’s crazy trying to catch a Kraton

Mines only around 20 pounds total like catching a Baseball

So how’s that baseball burned arm doing today If you have any aloe Vera use it. That’s what I use for burns ranging from mild to painful.

Well that was one heck of a month of destruction. Talk about stepping up the "break it" game. Even I got in on the party this month, but not nearly as much as the likes of @Moonstonemike, @Infraction666, @Michael24, @rjinaz and even the godfather @TpPartsRcXtreme. Props to you and all who contributed with valiant efforts in May. It's been a while since I've had so much to look back on. @slick2500 even broke his glasses when there were no rc's left to wreck. Couple of good hits taken too (June has an early entry for damage to one's self). It was tough and in the end, I've declared a tie for the month of May. @real_name_hidden's luck went from bad to worse from April to May, and the damage count proves it. @joshludden did a number on his Typhon but what's worst of all, he lost his @Notorious J sticker that he put on the mud guard! That alone should have clinched the top honor for the month, but between the two of them, it was too hard for me to call out a lone winner. So congratulations (I think) to both of you for receiving top honors is this month's WDYBT challenge!

I agree that losing the notoj sticker was very tragic .

Wait, so are @real_name_hidden and @joshludden the winners?

Or the losers?
