Borked Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 My first racing repair: front drive shaft for the XB4. Did a bit of a cartwheel in heat 2 or 3 so that’s the likely cause. £25+pp… I don’t want to be bending these too often!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't break anything else check the axle plunge into the diff cup, the arms on these kits are normally too stiff to bend a driveshaft without breaking or bending something else.

Cheers @lorrylemming - I'll take a look. It bent at the wheel end, probably from the wheel being over-steered during the tumble. I've just pulled the old driveshaft off the car and realised I order the wrong effing driveshaft... I ordered a hop-up ECS version which needs a different front drive axle 🙄 Hopefully I can return it and get the correct part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove the car at a race meet and the guy who owned it was trying to sell it to me. I noticed it was bent after one of the heats that I did a cartwheel in, and he said “it wasn’t like that before!” For all I know it could’ve been knackered already, but I did crash it and I did buy it so I have to fix it 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The trees may look green but there's been some pretty serious grass and crop fires in Leicester. One of the small fields we walk the dog on has had a pretty big fire luckily someone or the farmers were on the ball to either get the fire brigade to it quickly or the farmers themselves got too it in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grass is bad however all the trees are ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
