new xt, 2 problems

[Racerx]

one the exhaust melted the the quote right rear tailgate area and then the right rear shock busted off the end of the rod in the shock cylinder and the rod came out. all this during my first tank of fuel during break in and was running large right hand ovals in my perfectly flat backyard. I have seen the president of the company on here and i submited my warranty claim for both. I hope he follows up with these issues. I otherwise think it is a great truck and look forward to my full throttle days. I will post the companys response.

You are supposed to say:


"Just running half speed on grass, taking it easy".


Thats what all the Baja guys say when they break stuff. Cracks me up.

Dam, I've been cartwheeling my XB and playing bumper cars with the HPI guys since June and never busted a shock. You sure you were just doing ovals?

Did you go through the pre-run checklist?

yes, sent pics to redcat today noticed exhaust outlets one is down and one is more up the side it melted on, and the rod end of the shock just broke off inside the cylinder right where the locknut goes on to hold the dampner
