Part #3 & #4 of my Revo videos at the BMX Track (jumping the fence)
 
Well these are the last 2 videos we recorded at the track. I was jumping my Revo over the track fence off a large burm.

Just got to be careful not to nail someone coming down the path. :lol:


Hope you enjoy:

Nice jumps....

You got a BMX track and a wide grass area...WOW...

Great bashing spot!

Bah few more teeth on the pinion and your clear it properly ;) From the looks in the video that grass bank over the footpath could serve as a nice landing... could be steeper but hey better than flatlanding on the concrete :P

Looked like you broke something....:tongue:

BUSTED! I knew one of you guys would notice
 
Yeah I am really grateful to have a nice big public space like that. Even though we are not really supposed to be there.:wink:

Definately need to go up on the gearing a little, that concrete path is a bit rough:intello: I think I will go up on the pinion 1 tooth. Sometimes I get it in the grass but some better tires and a step up on the gearing will get it where it needs to be, even when its super dry out there like that day.

It was really late last night when I posted those videos. Thanks for catching that spelling error.

AND, Yes I did break something but not quite what I expected.

When I removed the canopy:na: I mean body, to my suprise I found one of the motor connectors off of the motor wire and small balls of solder on the motor can:surprised: The damn solder melted. It was novak solder and 4mm bullet connectors. I think that possibly the connectors are a little too small or that the connector somehow touched the motor and shorted melting the solder??? There was good tension on the connectors and it had never happened before in 40 cycles of the battery. You could also see some discoloration on the male part of the connector from heat. I ordered some shultz 6mm bullets and will install. I did however repair the connection and have run the truck since. We checked the connectors after a run and they were warm.

Any experience from someone here?

Thanks for the comments everyone:yipi:

Very nice spot, wish my local bmx track was open to public. It is only 200m down the road and is one of the best tracks in Australia. The Australian Nationals were held here

Drift Buggy: Where abouts you live? I'm also nearby a sweet ass BMX track in argenton (sp?) where the nats were held a while ago.. used to bash there all the time until they locked it all up to the public....

I am jealous. There's a nice little BMX track that I tried to run my trucks on, but it specifically prohibits RC vehicles. :cry:

Gladstone (Central QLD) I use to ride there alot and a few RC's would come down everynow and again to try and jump the 25+ plus jump there.

They didn't really care here but when motorbikes came, that was different
