well of course i didnt get this on video.... i was at keepontruckins house and we were bashing, well the wires on the reciver battery came out... and doing about 40mph and slamming a curb when its about 35degrees out isnt ever going to end well... after it slammed the curb it bounced off and was doing WOT donuts in the street.... so after about 5-10secs i got to it and stomped it down to stop the tires from ballooning... and killed the motor AHH!!!!! well i broke the following: upper/lower arms, shock and i ripped about an inch long hole in my brand new tires they had about 5 runs on them!!! the motor was at WOT for about 5-10 secs so i hope it is fine, still turns over which is good ... and of course we didnt get it on video and after i crashed it started to snow... we had about an inch that we were messing in, and it was still coming down so maybe no school tomorrow and another bash video well here are some pics.... its going to cost about $200 to fix im going all RPM, TiNi shick shafts, and some other stuff... and i know my face is retarded looking in the pic keepontruckin got me at a bad time lol







the black should be even with the silver... grr

That's not bad at all! Not sure how you got $200 repair. More like $15.

My Feedback: (3)

wow have fun i mean that looks pretty easy to fix but will probably take some time

ross_jsy

ericem, its gonna be about $200 cause he is gonna be installing rpm, TINI etc

bad luck, but you can fix the tyres. saw a vid where the drake repaired one

Muggy250r

yeah im also going to RPM it all and TiNi shocks too... and get new tires... since they were the wrong ones anyways [:@] it still isnt fun tho...

Get a throttle return spring installed and use electrical tape or heat shrink tube to prevent any electrical connections from disconnecting. If you don't do these things, your runaways will just cost more when you replace the aftermarket stuff next time.

I tape or heatshrink where the battery plugs into the on/off switch, I usually put a ziptie around the receiver over the servo connections to lock them down and I will also use a ziptie to hold the crystal in (even though I have been synthesized for a while now).

You can buy any throttle return spring; Associated, Traxxas, etc. Get a good anchor point for the spring and hook it up to where the carb closes if you move the throttle with your hand.

The things I just mentioned cost <$2.00 and would have saved that from happening.

Wow it looks just like my Muggy 2 weeks ago, when I did the same thing running into a cement wall at +30 MPH . My repairs were around 40 dollars all stock.

Muggy250r

yeha i might go back to stock idk depends on $$$$$$$$$$$

Buy a simple thottle return unit, if you get interfernce/low battery/signal loss/ or disconnect. returns the thottle right back to neutral. its a good investment. and cheap.

ross_jsy

and a failsafe. if its interference a throttle return spring wont do anything as the servo is being moved

Muggy250r

i had a failsafe on it! but when there is no power to the failsafe its not going to do anything!

ross_jsy

well thats when the throttle return spring does its job lol

Muggy250r

yeah i no lol

Muggy250r

well i found my old tool box and it had 80% of the parts i needed to fix the muggy... so now i just need a couple front pieces... here it is...... http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r...t=d8edc390.pbw

nitro _ burner

Muggy250r

my mom has to go into my freakin room and move stuff and not tell me where she put it!!!! i found it, tho so o well... plus i didnt run the muggy for the whole summer so i didnt look for it [&:]

Muggy250r

well its fixed! ill type up the deal with it tomorrow... im going to bed now lol

bigairlife

Looks good. My wing mount is bent a lil, just like urs... lol. It just wont stay straight. Do you think you could get a vid of it sometime?

Muggy250r

im selling my muggy, i cannot get the gear mess to line up, and once i do it wont stay for more than a tank and i have had enough with it, today after i got it all fixed and rtr i take it out and about 1/2 in a start getting on it (and before the run i tightened everything) well i nail it and WEEE!!!! the motor just revs to the moon! S***! i go over, the ring gear is bad now! im selling it and getting a lst2 or savage 4.6 [:@] im so over my muggy right now! its not even funny

HpiDrifter420

guess you did more to it than you thought with that last crash. see if you kan pick up lst2 chassis for cheap and just throw your arms and wheels on there shock towers ifyou want then you dont have to buy a whole new truck

Muggy250r

hmmm....never thought of that... i do have everything more or less......
