Default Fun & durability

Hi guys,

Just a quickie to say hi to everyone really.....

I have been in the backround here for a little while taking everybodies advice on my MT Setup!
The mods ppl suggested have really helped the handling!!!

Well i have a MT and have had around 10hrs run time and come across my first breakage!!

Drive cup snapped
body post's broken
Diff protector broken

Now this is not bad considering i bash in a quarry and a motorcross track, but yet some ppl think these
things are weak????

I bash hard and jump high, the MT has rolled more times than i can remember aswell [X(]

I will post some video's and piccies up on the w/end.

Anybody in south wales bristol area up for meeting up?

Cheers
Dave

welcome and congratz on your new MT are u sure u haven't been jumping of a cliff with all that damage?

fg's are very tuff i'm very surprised u have managed to damage so early on but don't worry once u throw in some alloy parts that should stop any potential damage unless u hit a 12 wheeler head on[X(]

enjoy

peace

Hiya Chad,

Well I also have a Hoboa Dominator with aluminum hop ups which has a tuff life!!
Wasn't quite a cliff but near enuff!! :-
The drive cup was the result of a 15ft jump @ 20+mph!!
Everything else from roll overs i'm well impressed with the durability!

Hope i can find someone local to hook up with as its only me n my m8 with a beetle that go out together - more fun with more ppl!

Laterz

Dave

If you uses the dog bone drives, then replace for the Ball drives.

They wear less, and seems to be stronger.
