RE: Redcat Mirage unboxing / body off/ running vid
I have found a weak point on the mirage...
the lower hinge pin mounts.
Both me and my buddy were jumping a snow mound and landing on pavement. This is probly the worst kind of torture you can do to a RC.
Mine landed and the rear A-arm came off. Front and rear pin mounts cracked.
My buddy landed nose 1st and broke a front arm off, rear pin mount cracked.
I dont think they would have broken if we were not landing on pavement. That said, its still a weak point.
I dont see a alloy pin mount upgrade as of yet. I will call redcat tomorrow and ask about that and explain the issue. The arms are very strong, the pins decent, but the pin holders are not a strong enough plastic and are not thick enough to take abuse.
The good thing is that the pin holders are not part of the diff housing. The bolt onto it. That will make the repair easier and not require as many parts.
