Popular Post Redback Posted June 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Finished operating on the Gaterocker, New steering angle is crazy vs the stock plastic knuckles. Only weak points left are is the shrink wrapped steering bar adjustment nut, very flimzy but with the shrink wrap its yet to fail 🤞 (oh and all the plastic link ends) 😜 Also took the savage xs to the skate park, something made a loud snap as the lad launched it up a ramp had to go 5m straight up and landed on its front left wheel. Hairline fracture on the arm at the pin joint from the lower arm pinbending a bit, thats all. Things a tank!

Popular Post BigGinge Posted June 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2021 New nylon wing for the buggy to replace the smashed up stock PC one. Also tried on some new wheels/tyres but haven’t decided if these are staying or if they are too big. May leave them on for one run to see what it handles like. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkbythesea Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Doesn’t matter how many times I do it, every time I come around to doing it again I remember how entirely completely I absolutely utterly loathe gluing tyres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I quite like it. However, getting them to stay stuck first time? That's a dark art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I remembered halfway through that like a total noob, in my “enthusiasm”, I failed to clean everything the way I normally would - so will probably all come apart anyway…. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Before we drift too far off topic, when I got my first E-Maxx, I didn't even know you had to glue the tyres! Should've read the manual! Couldn't understand why they kept slipping off. I do clean rigorously, and roughen the beads on both the rims and tyres. They still come off.
