**harry53187** · 02-27-2013 09:18 PM

**dirty don** · 02-27-2013 10:05 PM

Bent a rear protrac camber link today at bmx jumps. Good thing I bought these from Lunsford!

these metric wrenches from EDS racing are awesome by the way!

My spirit was broken when I received my new MMP 2200 kv combo only to find out that the ESC was defective after everything was mounted on my pede. The RC gods must not like me right now. Ptoooey.

Sweet! That's going to be the same exact power system I'm going to have on mine. Can't wait to have it all setup.

Ouch! How? Broken chassis and a A arm!

**o0wiz0o** · 03-02-2013 04:10 AM

The way that looks I don't think anything would of saved it

**spenniepoos** · 03-02-2013 06:51 AM

So far that's the only breaking I'm doing to it..

Same here and I'm running a 3S Lipo no problems except the body

**josh62685** · 03-02-2013 12:54 PM

Cracked my body, still useable but bad cracks. I really need a wheelie bar!

**4x4stampedevxl** · 03-02-2013 06:59 PM

Yikes the pede broken in half!!

I burned a bearing out of the villenion on the first run of 3s. Was back running in an hour!

What was left

**linux38** · 03-03-2013 09:12 AM

after 4 minutes of running, I finally broke the magnet in my motor. Truck would not move. All 4 wheels were locked up.

**QYKSLVR** · 03-04-2013 12:08 AM

Ouch. $70 and 3wks or so and I will have a new one. Pede down!

**blazer** · 03-04-2013 12:21 AM

stripped my desperadoes and broke an a arm and lost a couple screws and almost lost 2 mip pins

**QYKSLVR** · 03-04-2013 12:50 AM

blue loc-tite is your friend!

**spenniepoos** · 03-04-2013 06:36 AM

Use red on your mips dude thats what they recommended and you can use a solder iron to take them off and you can use hpi grub screws on your mips that connect to the drive outputs hpi part no. 86094................peace

I used too much red loctite..... So much that i had to move the axles around in my hand for 20 min each axle to "unglue" all of the moving parts. And ive seen to many people break those HPI grub screws.....They are not meant to hold up to this kind of power.

Ya I hear that, I been snapping alot of them. Thinking I might try some revo pins and just grind them to fit.

**dgudenau** · 03-04-2013 08:54 PM

Yesterday I cracked the case on my lipo and split my new ford body in half.

**noobiznessracin** · 03-08-2013 08:05 PM

Smoked my HW wp sc8 esc while trying to use a 3s for the first time. Sucks waiting for parts to arrive.... sigh

**wolfrage** · 03-09-2013 04:29 PM

Messed up my spur gear today, pinon came loss ( my own stupid fault never checked the pinon since i bought the truck, four months ago.... live and learn) and screwed the spurs teeth up pretty good in places... aready ordered parts and i figured that i might as well get the king headz motor mount and clear gear cover to boot so i guess its not all bad

but i agree waiting for parts sucks

**nhebert** · 03-09-2013 09:01 PM

Purchased my first and my last Integy product. Bought the metal universal rear drive shafts for my Rustler. They lasted less than 5 minutes - seriously, LESS than 5 minutes. The rear shaft broke right at thread after the HEX nut. The tire just flew off with the nut still on it car flipped liked never before. 35.00 bucks down the drain. I'm hoping they are covered under warranty though.

**e-revo** · 03-09-2013 09:09 PM

i broke my maxxs servo again

which means upgrade time

**Trapper** · 03-10-2013 12:10 AM

Not today but a pretty good bounce off a fire hydrant...

**Trapper** · 03-10-2013 12:12 AM

This one wasn't too bad

Until...

**spenniepoos** · 03-10-2013 07:54 AM

You are not having a good day are you dude

I hope you get up and running soon......peace

**o0wiz0o** · 03-14-2013 04:47 PM

Spur finally died....has Ben making a racket for a while and a inner bearing on the rear Tekno carrier finally exploded...

**CoolKD** · 03-22-2013 10:38 AM

To my surprise I broke my T-Bone Racing rear bumper. I contacted TBR and they sent be a new one under there lifetime warranty. They where very quick to respond too. Very good customer care I would say.
The broken bumper didn't stop me from continue to drive and at the end of the pack the body was completely shredded because there where no rear bumper to protect the rear..

**baylorar** · 03-24-2013 02:45 PM

Stripped my 4th spur gear in 2 days. FML
