Well honnestly, the arms and towers on these buggies are incredibly tough! But why the shafts pulled out is weird? Unless the threads were weakened in advance... ??? Mine are tight, but not super tight... And they work fine... I've broken a shaft (collision), but never had one pull out before...

If you miscalculated(which we often did), it was a 5m fall to the bottom of the landing, if not more.
What was a bit weird was the shock links that broke, these were the originals, and one would think something like an arm or a tower would break, not the bottom link.
As for the shimming, I used the stock with one shim pr. side, but when I put in the new gears, I put both shims on one side. Probably this broke due to many adjustments with the throttle when trying to land straight, and a way too tight slipper, but it's better now  |
