The Trooper Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) Right, first off the bad news... I crashed my baja and ripped the head off the steering servo.. Fantastic So i repalced it with a hitec HS5755MG Got some nice roll cage risers to stop my dom melting my wing I also got front and rear TR braces for the shocks looks awesome and goes with the theme... And as it stands now..... I love it! I'm totally amazed at how much its changed in the few months i have had it Edited June 25, 2010 by The Trooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trooper Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) had it out for a troubleless tank today (Click it ) Sadly, dad didnt have as much luck. Some how his spur gear stripped, no idea why - could it be that he hit a brick at near WOT? i dont think so as it ran fine for a while after the accident... aw well, new one ordered.

hoss Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) Yes could well be the fact he hit the brick at WOT Could have shocked, or even chipped a tooth, will run for a bit, till that breaks off, then it can strip the rest away with ease You do get it when people land at WOT off a jump an the wheels hit the deck, an the diff send the power back to the spur, an it can either damage it, strip it, or do nothing, kind of the luck of the draw But i would think thats the most likely cause, if your dad had an INCIDENT with the BRICK Had it gone, while just driving about an NOTHING had happened all day, then it would be harder to suss out why it went Edited June 26, 2010 by hoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
