Cabbagey Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Me and my mate were trying to capture a shot like this for ages, this was the best one until he said 'get closer!' and I rammed him (he's not too good with macro, explains the focus) Edited November 13, 2011 by Cabbagey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksprogis Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) no problems with the antenna tube 1 quid also the shell will be fine . but theres problems after problems , had it 2 weeks and its been in action 5 days of that , love it in general but bust the rear axle part from a 5 mph drift to a kerb Edited November 13, 2011 by jacksprogis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcoforever Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) YOU hit a kerb and it's the cars fault =\ cars and kerbs don't mix don't hit them other than the esc all of your issues could of been avoided Edited November 13, 2011 by norcoforever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksprogis Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 i realize that but one kerb "tap " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcoforever Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I've done the same with a savage at slow speed it's just bad luck usually a bad angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksprogis Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 agreed about the angle but everything i buy seems to always have problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J450n Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 All part and parcel of ownership, and part of the fun is repairing/replacing stuff, Cant understand how your breaking it on a football pitch, I do mad stuff on a bmx track and I mostly walk away without any problems, only one time I bump steered into a metal post caused any real damage, (I welled up a bit too).Did you have it from new??

howie87 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 they are tough, but there not designed to take an impact from a curb. ive only broken arms by cliping curbs and lamp posts but that will break an arm on most models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
