GedR Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi I am new to rc and bought the Hpi Bullet Flux. I have got to grips with running it on the flat (after a good few bashes and plenty of replacement parts!) but I can't seem to jump without shearing the dogbones. Am I doing something wrong or is it an inherent problem? I have read about cv shafts but they are expensive and if they shear as often as the others it isn't an option. i would appreciate any advice, thanks.

NOFX Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi. From what i've read , the dogbones are weak. If you put some fuel tube or o rings in the diff cups to stop the dogbones flapping around, that might help. Are you jumping at the skatepark? I found to my expense that skateparks eat rcs for breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 if you're landing on throttle or brake , that won't do the dogbones any good. I set my slipper so I can just move it by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
