the dreaded jmuping mailbox has claimed another victim.

[69Malibu]

well sinc eit is in the summit area. and since a mailbox is mentioned i bet some of you are guessing that my summit crashed and something broke after it hit a mailbox. well you are correct. the damage is not bad at all. just a shattered front lower arm. on my way home from wher eit broke i happened to be passing hobbytown so i stopped and got the parts needed to fix the truck. i was at a friends showing him the truck and while doing some high speed stuff i hit a mailbox. now i could hav eavoided the crash but why should i? instead i allowed the truck to hit the mailbox. the mailbox is just fine. currently recovering from an 11 pound monster slamming into it. anyways here is the only pic of the damage:

Ouch, I think it's time for RPM:D

[69Malibu]

they didnt have rpm. and my plan is soon to outfit the truck with a flextek setup.

[DiFabio42]

FlexTek is some expensive stuff!

[mac8175]

make sure you post some pics when the new arms are on.

[69Malibu]

the flextek arms are at minumum a few weeks away.

[Garbage_Man]

Do it again, but this time get it on video!!!

[69Malibu]

wish i could. too late. and where the crash happened is about an hour and a half away.

[GMMWICKED]

Looks lik eyou were having somes paceb ar issues in your first post as well...:D

[69Malibu]

LOL. now come on. i had to drive quite a ways today.

[SLASHPEDE]

haha lookin good malibu! thats the way it should be treated, but treat the T-lock like a baby :D

[69Malibu]

i noticed that too, lol.

but driving does make you tired. how many summits have broken that we know of?

[Brushless Moose]

I hope you didn't crack the bulkhead too!

[69Malibu]

i didnt. the break wasnt near the bulkhead.

[Racer83L]

wow good break.. Never heard of the Flextek stuff... looks like I have some new things to buy. Malibu, you say they are a few weeks away, is that because they arent available yet or because you arent ordering them for a few weeks???????

[69Malibu]

arent ordering them for a few weeks. cost of the arms is around 300 bucks. here is the exact set i plan on getting:

[RonixBoarder5]

dang man, ur willing to pay that much for some a-arms? tht is so much money.

[StamJato]

You could buy a really big box of stock arms for that kind of coin.

[MedicWill]

HAHA, ya now your arms wont break but where they mount will.
The force has to travel somewhere IMHO

[Alectric]

I agree with the above. Somethings gotta have.

[SLASHPEDE]

HOLY COW MALIBU! you rich bugger:p lol jk.. why pay 300 for a- arms tho, eben if they are the best i would just get replacement and geta nother slash!:lol:

[69Malibu]

guys i ran a set of the arms on an e-revo and only ever broke anything once. and that was form repeatedly hitting rocks head on at full throttle on purpose.

[SLASHPEDE]

yah i guess in end it will be worth it:D and they look cool ^^

[69Malibu]

trust me. pictures do not do them justice. i have run a set of the revo arms and currently run a maxx set. the revo arms are stil lin perfect shape on the e-revo i used to own.
