*Blows off cobwebs*

Haven't been doing much r/c for a long time, but decided to take out the Gmaxx the other day and let my little nephew drive; 3 year olds aren't subtle on the throttle...


Bent one of shock mounts after an accident with a hedge row...



Straightened out with a vice and pliers.



My original lipos have seen better days, the ends are getting pretty mashed and bashed due to hitting the upper front servo plate under braking ( inertia )- velcro straps around the lipos ( end to end ) don't offer any protection. I devised a solution:





Much larger surface area compared to a 2mm thick ledge which was pressing into the top cell on either side. I think I'll just let the squirt drive the Madbull in future, much less of a handful

It's good to hear that you do still run it albeit rarely.

If there is a bustle in your hedge row, don't be alarmed now, a hammer will come and make a straightening.
