Two Videos of my G2R - Output shaft breaks at the end - 10.24.2006, 10:22 PM

Both vids are of me driving around in front of my house.

First vid is of the last 4 minutes or so of my run, taken Monday afternoon. The packs dumped right after I turned the camera off (literally). I was using stock Talon tires off my Revo 2.5R, so I had horrible traction and handling. Camera was first placed on a curb and then moved to the trunk top of an G35 Coupe parked on my driveway lol.

Here is the first vid.

Second vid is the first 4 minutes of a run, taken this afternoon after recharging my packs. Right before the vid ends you will see 1/2 a wheelie and then hear a bunch of clicking. That was my output shaft going bye bye. Tires were CrimeFighter MTs. The camera was placed on the hood of a Dodge Ram parallel parked in front of my house lol (at least my tripods are stable :005: ).

Here is video number two

And here is picture of the broken ligthweight output shaft.

Here is some general info.

First run was 12 minutes (second run cut short by breakage).

Motor Temp was about 85 degrees in both runs, with a high of 90.

Run was in 2nd gear 95% of the time.



Comments welcome - Enjoy! :018:
