it looks like you just got eliminated out of a demolition derby. it might break the bank. ouch!! hey, that's why we're into this hobby, right? who said "if it ain't broke, you're not playing hard enough!" is a genius!

after an even closer inspecion i think i may have even bent the solid metal bottom to the car...anyone know where i could find out what the precise angle should be? or someone angle theirs out for me please?

I'm selling my front lower suspension arm(2pcs.) but all I ask is honesty, if you broke this part and you have an MT V3. I'll help. I'll send this out to ya if you need it. If you don't, then I'll just keep posting it for sale. Let me know. I don't have a lot of spare parts to...ahhh...."spare" right now. The ones you have in those pics, I don't have 'em. hey, I've been reading how the Rampers (that's us) in this forum are always ready to give a helping hand to other Rampers in need. let me know dude!

Well I took my MT out today first time in two weeks and broke another diff Cup shaft!!!


On the front this time!! I been breaking The rear one Every other run or so. The shafts break right where the pin goes through the shaft into the Differential Assembly. They Use to have smaller pin on older models and the pins broke NOW They made the Whole in shaft bigger for larger Pin and now the Shaft snaps


I been thinking of sending a few of them to Redcat to see what the deal is BC The first one broke BC i was jumping but the other 3 where in a flat dirt field!! Today I was Doing Cyclone doughnuts on dirt

That's an old problem with an easy fix. The stock shafts will develop fine fractures around the pin hole in a single run. I'm sure this is because of the heat treament to reduce wear on the drive cup. The solution is to take a torch and heat the shaft around the pin hole untill it turns blueish. This will soften the metal so it's not so brittle.
