Jack R8 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 I am aware it could and probably will go awry, thats part of the fun, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Noj Posted June 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2014 Well, from a personal standpoint, being correctly lubed, so as to reduce friction of shafts, and ensure smooth rod motion, can certainly provide added longevity, when bashing one's beast in a public space. A long session is always pleasurable, however, a quick, short, furious bash is very stress relieving and always leaves a smile on the face. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiza1208 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ill usually go for around 30 min then break the car in some way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebby Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Short quick bashings are always the best Nothing like giving the beast a right good hammering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 young drivers / pilots thats all i blame lol us older hobbyists are more intune with our crafts and whoop you youngers into line with our super awesome dictonary like wisdom. my last breakage was a thrown prop after i tried to do a foxtrot dubstep with the local wooden fence with my quadcopter, in younger language " i whooped beans open, drifted like a beast and hardsided it into the sidebarrier " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Had three hours solid running out of my Hyper before i broke something, other than that it's 30 mins to an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hmmm, well I was amazed I didn't break anything on the 8ight in a pack which lasted about 25 minutes and still wasn't flat. Had some pretty long bashes with the Bajas though, some lasting 4 tanks which given cooling down period is around 5 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big turbo Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 All depends on what rc's you own and how you drive them and where, and how you look after them. A pointless thread IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrs55 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 only breakages since being so far are a hex hub esc coming loose and a wheel nut coming loose I find when I have built the kit I don't like when something comes loose or breaks but when rtr I don't mind as much seems strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Generally I always try to make sure the car is in tip top condition to minimize issues however when i go for a bash I start off pretty doing pretty mundane stuff but get more and more daring until the size of my kahonas exceed my level of skill and then I break something.

A pointless thread IMO Well actually no, it's a bit of fun on a Forum between friends and like minded RC enthusiasts. I think the only pointless bit so far would be your comment. Why not just post up what you break most often and how long it usually takes the break it and join in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Worst case, I show up with one car and break a minor part in five minutes with no spares to hand. Best case, take most of the fleet and keep on going for hours! I've got two gennys, a little 600 watt and a larger 1900 watt. I can keep on charging all day!

big turbo Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Maybe I'm just reading into it to much.... Last thing I broke on my hyper 7, was the Esc when the magic smoke escaped after landing a stupid sized jump up a golf course. Befor that a front arm and front knuckles but that was ages ago now. The only part I've broken on the summit is a drive shaft when it got stuck in a river and it got all tangled up with the diffs locked. The erevo was a front arm again after a big jump and landed funny. And done two rear diffs as they are naff. Have not broke the son uva a digger yet but that's my boys and only gets blasted around the field. If I'm out with my mate then I'm out until all the batts are flat. If I'm out with my boy he normally gets fed up and wants to go home after two packs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin28 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 If my cars still running perfectly after 30 mins it means i'm not bashing hard enough right? Usually i go home when it breaks and can't repair it from the back of my car, anywhere from 5 to 60 mins, only once have i taken my cars back home in one piece, because the kids got bored after an hour on the beach I usually take 1 or 2 buggy's/trucks with me, if i took them all i know i'd be going back with no working RC's left to run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushboy2004 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 If its the traxxas slash about 30 seconds till something breaks then needs 30mins to an hour to fix it again all my over trucks normal last the battery pack, at which point I have got bored and move to a different location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
