Hey... I was thinking long time before posting this.
here is the thing. I got Xt8 last year, used and worn. I did love it, my reason to get it over Losi/Mugen was it's "tank" reputation. So basically it will be little less agile, but way more indestructible. I did love it so I bought 2009 spec this year.
I have two races with 2009 and I already destroyed quite a lot of parts -
- graphite ackerman - lasted like 3 laps
- 3 rear hub carriers (each really fast, two laps max) started with hitting something at 60km/h (thanks Wallot for bringing speed pistol ;) ) which is ok, my bad. Changed it and destroyed two more on perfectly normal jump.
- Front Lower Suspension Arm together with upper right arm - again normal jump
- pin hoped out form CVD drive axle (not because I did not tighten it up, it's because that part is lightened and stretched a little and pin went out) and completely killed my left front hub carrier
I am not saying I drive my truggy 10mph on flat road, but I am not bashing it in BMX concrete park either. Mostly all of the parts destroyed comes from lightened 2009 spec. So I am just wondering. Can stuff like that happen because I did something wrong while putting it together? Or maybe because e-truggy is somewhat heavier this could be the case?
and the last as reward for reading this far, best image of my car I ever had
