Had some problems fitting the bumper as the Jet pro v3 didnt wanna line up when i had the rear bumper support things on so i have had to remove the one on the side with the bracket on the pipe.

Just a little bit to add... never fitted anything but recieved a SU Front Chassis brace in the post and got my Mecanic of an uncle to seal my gas cap with the same stuff he uses on 1/1 petrol and diesel tanks so it should be ok :D

Couple of photos from todays bash...

(Shelfer my ass!)

Damages today include... several E-clips, 3 wheel bearings and a spur gear. Really good day, took alot of stick, good few jumps and some dodgy landings (most of which followed by my front wheel buggering off :lol: ) Going to tap my front hubs and get a screw in there, ruined a good days bashing needing to fix it constantly and scrounge wheel bearings (Thanks all!)

New engine is going well with the gearing i chose 17/57 as 18/56 seemed too high as the engine wasnt spinning up to a high enough RPM where my pipe tends to take over :good:

Comments and feedback MORE than welcome..

Well, the bugger ran away today caused by a burnt out throttle servo... At the moment the damage i can see is a couple bent screws, bent scorpion chassis brace and a bent chassis... Pics to follow :)

P171010_16470002.jpg

As i went to remove the bumper i found the 2 HIGH TENSILE screws that held it on had SNAPPED :o

P171010_18020001.jpg

P171010_18030001.jpg

Once i got the bumper(s) off i was faced by this, a very sorely looking front end. :helpsmilie:

P171010_18050001.jpg

P171010_18060001.jpg

P171010_18060002.jpg

P171010_18140001.jpg

Then i noticed i had bent my TR front plate... gutted about this one like. :(

P171010_18070001.jpg

The Operating Theatre :lol:

P171010_18110001.jpg

P171010_18110002.jpg

Once i wrestled the actually front end off i saw the extent of the damage, pritty bad if u ask me :(

P171010_18150001.jpg

More shots of my TR plate :crying:

Cracked anodising.. a shame, but the least of my concerns.

P171010_18240001.jpg

P171010_18440001.jpg

P171010_18440002.jpg

Then i removed the scorpion brace. Bent screws...

P171010_18520001.jpg

The Chassis, note the kick up shouldnt be near that much.

P171010_18510001.jpg

And i thought i had a pritty solid front end :(

Comments welcome, thanks.

Run away or driver Error ?

No time to operate the kill switch if it was a run away ?

Just goes to show, no matter how much cash you throw at the front end, they still bend.

Out with the hammer then :rofl:

Wasnt running a kill switch still waiting on MMR to change it for one that will actually work...

WTF bud did you hit ?

Multiple tree's and i guess a few bricks :lol:

Is all this damage Just from that one jump?! :ph34r:

Looks like you should be getting your hyper Done, So much more rewarding when you've done it! :good:;)

Haha, no mate, it was a runaway :P And the hyper is gonna need to wait til after xmas now..
