.AJ. Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I broke mine second time out, so they are far from unbreakable like a lot of people claim.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Nothing is unbreakable, including the non breakable glasses frames I had as a youth, which despite being able to survive being driven over, were broken three times by sitting on my face....anyway.... launched the PMT full pelt down a grass bank, tyres ballooned, went off line, caught tuft of coarse grass and game over, passenger time, waiting to see where she'll land, then you hear it..... the unmistakable sound of breaking plastic.... on she rolls, finally coming to rest upside down in the grass. Time to begin the walk of shame, heart beating, sweaty palms, pound signs flashing before your eyes..... Cautiously, pick up the truck, start the examination and then, suddenly, there it is....your beloved MT damaged, broken, a shadow of her former self... ................... Popped a shock spring holder off too, oops! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Fool! Nothing's unbreakable, but this thing's proving to be tough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Very tough! Had many tumbles, barrel rolls, bounces, roof scraping....mullered a few hidden cans in the grass, been wedged under a metal fence and a Focus (parked), hit a hidden remain of a concrete post wheel on, spun off, not a mark on it Remember mine has no additional bracing and is running the plastic steering set up too... Of course, I've now tempted fate so it'll disintegrate next bash, lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 That sure does sound like the worst driving ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I was thinking the same as Tug, driving ain't your strong point Jon...! Mine has proved to be fantastically durable too. Broke front bumper first time out, other than that, it's perfect. Apart from the body ... It has spent a lot of time on its roof on Tarmac! Doh!

.AJ. Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The bulkhead on mine only broke because it was about -5 at the time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm treating the PMT mean....plus, the bash spot is rather uneven ground. That's my excuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 At the last bash, we had two 5ives and a Yama, they quit because it was too rough on the cars! I'm not criticising them,they're expensive machines to maintain, I'm just saying that we carried on regardless! Our parts are cheaper though, so it's understandable that they were protecting their investments. My point is, if you think your terrain is rough, come try the quarry! It's rough as! Constantly cut up by motorbikes, nothing's smooth and the stones are large! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jari Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 My point is, if you think your terrain is rough, come try the quarry! It's rough as! Constantly cut up by motorbikes, nothing's smooth and the stones are large! if you do come over... let me know when with more than a day notice. that very short bash cost me a broken drive cup on the marder. and nothing at all broken on the brushless 7 . have you seen the quick jump vid?

Noj Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 I have jari, into the bomb hole! Very nicely done I'll have to get my ass darn sarf this year and have a bash with y'all. Sure Clive mentioned a sofa and a blanket.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Didn't put a full pack through... Running 6000mah 50c zippy hardcase packs, current draw seems pretty low, I'll keep a time check next time out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
