Well, 1st session w/ brand new Banditos. I'll give my first impressions of the tires before the damage report. 1st thing I noticed is that 3 of the tires seemed out of round. Not the rims but the tires themselves right out of the bag 🤨😡 Didn't notice going thru the grass but when I got on the pavement the tires looked like they were gonna bounce off the street! Oh well, back to the grass. I might have the typhotank geared a little aggressively cuz the fronts ballooned quite a bit. Not great in grass, was kinda slipping/sliding all over. I did pull a half dozen double backflips before a really awkward front corner landing ended my fun. The ramp claims yet another pillow ball! & I bent the front left m2c axle too!
Before & after...

So my son hit a pole with his Kraton 6, 10 minutes into his second time out with it. Thought it was just a busted A arm! Went to LHS he picked up some RPM arms and a front bumper. After showing him how to replace the arms, we noticed a lot more damage. Bent tower, bent shock mount, bent lower pin, broken bulk head.

We got him back on the road, with some donations from the Mojave and a bit of a hammer massage on the pin and tower.
