Crashed! What a mess :)

Well I hit a raised lump of slab in the field with the maverick blackout XB, it just caught the very front corner of the chassis and it must have summersaulted 15times at about 5ft in the air, it landed on its wheels and looked like I styled it out :D  Seemed to drive back to me ok till I saw:

 

The chassis twisted and bent 2" out of straight from the front to the rear

The brake cam mechanism gone

At least 6 bolts sheared of from the gearbox mechanism and engine

The crankcase still attached to the chassis via the 2  bolts but those 2 bolts lugs sheared off 

the flywheel/fan lost a fin

the pull start lost a bolt hole/corner

the fan/flywheel cover lost a bolt hole/corner

 

Anyone got any of them parts lying around and wants a few quid let me know :)

I feel your pain!

I have just put mine back together and am about to take it on a shakedown on some loose gravel and grass then it's off the the place I have named the Killing Fields where I have only managed 20 mins before a failure/damage, admittedly, mostly from things dropping off having come loose due to the unique way KM like to build their buggies!

Mike.
