Straightened out the body and it looked better, but the tire is gone! Not sure why it came apart, but it sure was fun playing with it!

Looks like someone had some fun today!! What happened to that poor body...

Yep we need an explanation on that one. That body looks like it has some serious road rash.

Well, the constant flips and stunts tore the rear of the body off the posts. I have a bunch of basher bodies, so I said to hell with it and kept playing. I think that the tire let go and took the body with it, then flipped the tuck and twisted it up. Body could do with some repair, but is fine. The tire is gone, but I have more laying around. Really fun truck, 8s power is great, and the temps are good too. Even the feigao 14xl does not get over 160, no matter how hard I bash it. The esc does not go over 120, and the batteries are at 115 or so. Cheap components and they work great together!

A broken body or tire is a small price to pay for fun:smile:

Very wise words. We had a hoot watching this little bugger run!

Not long ago I broke my 18B as I hit a curb wide open running a mamba set up w/ 2s and the 6800 kit..I broke several front end parts but WOW it was WELL worth $ 20- in parts and 1 hr. of my time to fix

nice man... you really beat the crap out of that...
14XL and 8S is just awesome...

the body is fine... shoe goo can fix that right up...:lol:

I am quite impressed with the 14xl. Is shoegoo just clear silicone? Or is it something different? Where is it sold, local hardware store?

Which ESC did you use in it James?

I use shoe goo for everything man.. it dries up clear, and is pretty tough.. I staple the body and shoe goo over it... after 24 hours.. it's awesome... or you could use Super goop or amazing goop..

Nice job! You actually got a verbal "Whoa!" from me. :lol:

Hey David, it is a great planes 60 amp HV model. Got it from tower hobbies. Works great on 8s and can handle 12s according to the specs. It barley gets warm too, and does not get much airflow!

Thanks, it looked much worse than it was!

lol, nice going, looked like you had fun. How new was the tire?

Tire was old, I got them with a used truck I think! Probably free!?

You could probably gust take some gorilla glue and rubber strips, apply glue to the strips, and crudely "tape" the tire together via the inside. I used this method once with a 40 series Road Rage I think and it worked fine.

try a Sporting Goods store, I got a tube from Sports Authority it was found in the shoe dept.

very nice, yea you can frankenstien that body with zip ties and duct tape. Love the tire,seems like a bad retread.
