Default Easy Way To Add Extra Strength To The Wheel Hubs

Easy Way To Add Extra Strength To The Wheel Hubs
before they break, wrap the ends with elec. tape around the pins..
then take a zip tie and wrap it around the tape.
the tape and zip tie will allow flexibility and keep from going so far it breaks.

since doing this i have not broke a single hub.

trim the elec tape so it is flush with the end of the hub
you can use a black zip tie so it blends, you can also put the lock on the under side and it will never be seen, i did it this way for the pic so you all could see what was what.

Running a nitro in the house is just plain dumb. If your gonna bring something like this up, you need to explain the dangers so some young kid doesn't think it's alright. Breathing the exhaust is terrible for you and the fire hazard should go without saying.

well i know this, i didnt say for anyone else to do it.
i opened the windows in the kitchen and put a big fan in  the window so i didnt breath the fumes in.
and i only ran it for under 3-4 minutes.

it was my jato i bought NON  running and i got it running and a quick test in the house.
and its not "JUST PLAIN DUMB"
 if you are smart like me and do a proper set up first

yes it you run one in the house on carpet for a long time and fill your house with smoke yes that dumb.
NOTHING I DO IS DUMB.

I might have believed that nothing you do is dumb until you ran your nitro rc in your house. And told people about it. That kinda speaks for itself.
