YORKSHIRENEO Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Broke it! Or rather the son did. Fatal mistake i know but turned my back for a second and hed grabbed the tx and drove full tilt into some metal railings.....the result? The orange upper brace was actually z shaped before i had to straighten it out in order to get the front end off. Im guessing that chassis is toast?

Don't know if it's cooked, but an IRC chassis brace will strengthen it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Not today cos I was driving home but I recently did this to my Carnage: New diffs courtesy of my Vandal, Trackstar 80a/3520kv wp combo, Hextronik 9kg 0.16 servo and the Proline bits you can see. I need to tweak the gearing a bit but my word, it's an ANIMAL!!!!!! That's looking real nice, Chewy! Your Own paintwork? Nice boots, too!

YORKSHIRENEO Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Im just not sure it will straighten out with it bent on an angle like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53HRA Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I think the main bend on the grey chassis might pull out with a workshop vice. Before you do so put some old rag around the area you are bending so the teeth of the vice don't cut into the chassis and leave marks/scratches. As for the orange brace,you can see the stress of the dent (where it has discoloured). Not sure if that's general discolouring or from the impact of the hit.Same applys try the vice job but if all fails try mirage racing for parts PS: with the vice it might not go back to 100% but you will get it as close as so still good for bashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same thing and now have irc chassis and plate which are bulletproof! ! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 That's looking real nice, Chewy! Your Own paintwork? Nice boots, too! Cheers Tug. Yeah, that's my handywork, I rushed it a bit hence the runs, but overall I love it. Translucent Blue backed with Silver. Glad you like the boots, bit of a gamble going for pre-glued Desperados with Badlands but all's good so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Built it up from a box of bits over two and a bit hours, incuding stripping bits off the Hyper to get it running. It only really needs the diffs servicing, and maybe a couple of bearings and a shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghazghul Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Worked out why the bottom of servo mount blocks are a bolt and a pin and not 2 bolts. The front bolt would go through the bolt holding the servo on. Going to be a pig to make my own unless I just have one bolt and make it a good enough fit that the servo body itself keeps everything square.

Tug Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 The Scorpion didn't get used last night, it got too dark to see. So I've just rung its neck over at the park to get the unused cells down to storage. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
