Well I broke the EXB today on a bad landing due to getting it tangled in a branch about 15-20ft above the ground. I overcorrected what would have been a nose landing and it slammed down on the right rear tire.

Looks like the inside one on the upper turnbuckle is off the ball already.Lunsford titanium turnbuckles. Hopefully my last upgrade. So shiny.

That's the rod end, not the turnbuckle. My pivot balls are worn down so the rod ends are loose. I installed replacement pivot balls, but then went back to the loose ones. They have more give and introduce less stress. Steering is fine for a basher.Looks like the inside one on the upper turnbuckle is off the ball already.

What's all that stuff in the last pic?Had a noise I diagnosed, today it got louder, I had diagnosed incorrectly. Motor bearing is trashed. I caught it just before catastrophic failure. Stripped the grub screw on the pinion of course first. Luckily I’m mechanically inclined and have a wide variety of tools including some left handed drill bits I used to twist out the last little bit of screw remaining after drilled it out. Threads are still in tact ? Now I’m wondering do I order ceramic bearings for it or just a new hobbystar since its Less than 15 bucks difference. Bonus was trying the bread trick for the first time, it worked, but I used some stale bread and I think fresher would’ve made it easier maybe.View attachment 93262View attachment 93263View attachment 93264View attachment 93265
