Hehe...appalling driving today.... 2 x A-Arms and the Shock Shaft broken...

Typical. No-one has any Shock Shafts in stock!. DMS must have some will ring them tomorrow. The pic is a poor one as it was done with my mobile....

Hi

I smashed my shock shaft today aswell when I smashed into a tree. Kind of driver error I guess. I have ordered some new ones from microtech now plus a couple spare which could be why there out of stock.

So, your the bugger thats nicked em all.

I must have the coolest LHS, not only does he keep bucket loads of Losi parts in stock including all suspension parts he owns and drives a Losi himself. Better still when he comes to the club on race day his van is a mobile LHS and has Losi parts there and then.

It can however get expensive when the “break it, fix it, break it again� cycle is reduced to the time it takes to fix it.

What did you hit? I did in the right side arms and the spur cover trying to buzz my lst past me at full speed, I jumped truck bounced tire hit foot and that was it. hit my shoe so it didnt hurt, got lucky

I have run into myself twice now, once for each leg. First time was my left leg, LST ok and a little bit of skin of the leg and a bit of bruising. The second was the right leg, now my right leg is Kevlar reinforced fiberglass [:-] so no real damage to either party.

Fortunately the collision with the right leg was at a fairly low speed, it would have been interesting to see what would have happened at high speed. I weigh 140+ kgs (over 300 pounds) so we are talking irresistible force (LST) meets the immovable object (ME). [:@]

I hit the corner of a 9" brick wall. Basically I lost traction on a greasy surface and was unable to turn. It wasn't that fast either. All happened in slow motion. A-Arms are fixed as I had spares, I'm just waiting for the Shock Shafts to arrive should be tomorrow. Got soemstandard and the uprated titanium one's also. [8D]

Drive as if your driving a full size car.......dont get out of control.....dont break out 2nd gear if your not comfortable with the sloppy handling from the expanding larger tires. At these speeds, a typical urbam street gets pretty narrow fast. I have done the same, just want you to think about it......its expensive and avoidable. With age you become better drivers and the same applies to r/c cars.

Pinolelst

Now that just contradicts my way of thinking entirely.Drive it like you stole it,have as much fun as possible and if you break something remember ..."stuff happens" and at least you were having fun when it did.

Peace

My Feedback: (1)

I second Pinolelst, I was driving like a madman just now at the park jumping out of the sand pits and ridin wheelies across the ball diamonds and just tagged a small tree. Luckily just broke the steering link so I was able to keep bashing, just had some loose steering but if damage is the price of admission, I'm in. I never drive my motorcycles this wild so I vent some of my silliness when driving the RC cars. Works for me. I don't intentionally break things but also don't baby them either.

ResB

I hear what your saying but this is a RC car we are talking about. No-one hurt here just my pride. I was just sharing a silly experience. If I were to drive it like my car what fun would that be?

skiprat

Depends on what car you drive.
What you want is a diesel estate............hmmm, getting old.

Scooby Doo for me when I'm older, than old.

SAVAGE RULES - YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

hobbyadict

wal

Meow, here kitty kitty.
Come on boys, no cat fights, play nice now.

ResB

Hehe, thats what he thinks. Honest. He's my Brother so don't mind him. He's come to the LST forum to see where he should be hanging out, and give me some stick of course.

[sarcasm]GOT THAT SAVAGE STARTED YET AR KID?[/sarcasm] Gunna make you beg for ya mummy on Sunday, when the LST eats ya for Brekky.

4wheelin

thats silly, I hord parts, and use them sparingly.....if you like buying parts, fine...driving like an idiot ..?

Pinolelst

Such a subjective term


Peace

skiprat

Head on collision at about 60kmph should sort that sarcasm out I rekon.

Reason I couldn't get SAVAGE started was the fuel had gone stale.
As I am a newbie, fuel going stale was not something I had thought about, but as I have now been made aware of such attributes, will continue to bash Ar Kid's Losi...........when I get round to catching it that is!

ResB

Well you'll never know.

4wheelin

guess you speak from experience.

ResB

eh?
