What did you break today?

[Pat_ranch]

How'd I do?

Honestly, I was just driving along! I barely even sent it 100'! Cain't EVEN believe how fragile these exb's are!

Do you think I could flip the chassis upside down and reuse it?

I kissed a curb..and didn't like it

Kissed? That's more like you were at third base and going for a home run!

 

[AIan]

Was your girl driving lol

edit: fyi, from personal experience and jokes I’ve read.
also the women in my life have a knack for grinding new rims on 1:1 cars I’ve let them drive. Like there’s magnetic curbs

What did I break today? My personal best top speed on 6s

 

[Smilinbri]

Ummm yeaaaaah......if you are going to upgrade slipper clutch/differentials, put it back together correctly or this happens! Newbie mistake! DOH!

Didn't think I could go all day, did ya? The wing survived, but the wheelie bar & wing mount are toast fwiw these mojave tires are becoming my favorite tires to rip around & jump off my ramp with (in the grass). Actually seemed plenty fast on pavement too. I think this buggy is what I had envisioned wanting when I started this$$ hole. I love this thing!! Full 7000mh pack & motor temps didn’t hit 125

Your chassis is still in one piece!
Just get yourself a motivator hammer (1lb plastic dead blow mallet) and get to work..
Beat it back into proper shape, Re-assemble your other bits and then you can go Bash again!

It's not Formula1, so you really don't need to be all that high precision..
Get it up to demolition derby standards then you are Good 2 Go!

Coulda been worse. This is why I went back to 3s on my 1/10 Senton after a BLX 185/TP4050 1700 phase.
Yes, that's the HD steel spur

 

[KingRancher23]

Umm are the wheels supposed to fall off?

Ten minutes of jumps and the truck scraped to a stop as the tire went rollen on by!

 

[Notorious J]

Broke another personal best today

 

[Pat_ranch]

Yes, yes they are

 

[Velodromed]

Yes, yes they are

You beat me to it.
Yeah it happens and to stop it the axles need to be loctited to the driveshaft on all 4 corners. Just run a long 2mm driver up the shaft, loosen and remove the metal axle, clean the threads and axle hole well with alcohol or break cleaner then use blue loctite while reassembling.
broke two Arrma 3s cvd axles. Broke the first one on Old Yeller (Typhon hybrid) last Friday. Broke the other one on the vorteks Thing this morning. Both sets are just a couple months old and I run them on 3s.
Ugh.

Ouch! I haven't snapped them yet. I already did the big rock with loctite and now it is time for the granite!

 

[RCbuzz]

Testing new ramps today.... need to do the shock mod!

Send it:

Any pics pre-crash and disassembly? Mines been to hell and back and begged for more. But I did a few things that I believe all work together, creating a more durable EXB. Most are simple, tower braces supported by a tight center brace, RPM bumper reinforced by an oversized "washer"(HR Skid plate), longer and thicker bored bulkhead mounting bolts, drill and re-tapped motor mount/center diff support for longer and thicker bolts(partly because I had to raise them 1/8").

Aside from a couple broken arms early on, and wing mounts, this thing has been almost bullet proof. Figuring out how to land it on the wheels more often helped a ton. I personally think the exb bumper is way better than rpm. I've had to add a washer on one of the smaller screws under the front bumper after it pulled through, but haven't had any trouble since. I've been pretty thorough with the loctite throughout. I also think that running a basic 2050/150 setup kept me from too much carnage, too. The max6/4985 will probably create more opportunities for carnage. I've added longer bolts to a few places, too. But overall it's been low maintenance. I don't have alot of pics (I tend to delete them after I post something), but I know I've posted many of this rig over the last year and a half. There's also a video of repeated tomahawks over a big hill somewhere on here. I've even resisted the urge to go crazy with m2c until now...

Love them Charlotte roads
I always run this line, cut this same corner, just hit just right to send It from 40-0 in .2 seconds. Only these broke.
But I glued the batter mount thing together to save me 23 dollars.

Edit: spelling

 

[Voyhager3]

2 problems in 2 days… I wonder if the crash had anything to do with this…

The gear that come out of my motor cane out. Does anyone know what could of happened ? This is the 3rd time I've ever ran my Kraton. I don't have time to break it down to find the root cause.

Do you mean the pinion gear that is on the motor shaft? If so, then you probably need to put loctite on the grub screw before you tighten it down.
Also, make sure that the area where you screw it is the flat part of the shaft instead of the rounded part. Consider red loctite and maybe let it sit overnight.
