Z's HPI Baja PT:2

[pyroM!ke247]

My bad. I bought a Flowsystems pipe from a guy on HBF forums around 2012 for my 5t. Thought it was John. Paired it with a ESP port. Still runs badass!!!!!!!

I’m serious about Johns police rig. I bought a pipe from him I think years ago from the HBF forums years ago. I’m actually a OG when it comes to this hobby. Not bragging but I’ve been in and out of the hobby for years.

I think that I seen your name somewhere before ,I was thinking that today before you had mention this!

Got me parts ?? super quick shipping from ddm as usual . New wheel, new inner beadlocks (they are orange, I bought orange because they were like 4 bucks cheaper than the black option, so I will dye them myself), and my zero growth foams . Gotta go pickup me new tire screws from home depot ?

2 less rovan parts on my rig.

Nice ,you going to screw those up too?....

 

[Z.hb71]

You don't get your man card until you've installed hostile zero growth foams , these motherfekkers are hard as hell ?

Fingers feking hurt ???

 

[crucialRC]

Did you tape them?

 

[Basher5iveT420]

Taping tires you need to take your time, the point is to keep a nice even pressure & pattern as you go around the whole tire.
You don’t want it super tight nor super loose, tight enough to still give the foam it’s flex ??
The new gorilla tape has little strings within the tape, this is the type you wanna use. Ghetto belted foams ????

Weve been telling Zed this, he just don't listen.....

?
All back together, gunna say 1 or 2 runs before summin feks up ?


New wheels, ddm bite lock beadlocks, bite lock screws , hostile zero growth foams, and new 3/8 tire studs ? they poke thru only a tiny tiny it (if you press on them, you can feel the tip but it really isn't visible, much better than the 1/2)

 

[DougStar]

now these should not blow out?? unless you stripped the bitelock screws ???

Have not ?? idk , you know my luck, I break poop that shouldn't break so we will see ?

 

[Z.hb71]

Damnit ? spur gear stripped again ? been about 4-5 hours so its about time for it to go. Also the header bolt backed off?‍


Going to buy spares or just buy the ddm black magic

 

[Seandonato73]

That was fast, didnt even make it a tank.

 

[crucialRC]

WTF is going on Z?

 

[Seandonato73]

He must been trying those testosterone drugs out....

 

[Z.hb71]

WTF is going on Z?

Idk, was going up a small hill and it let out. Jus time for it to go I guess ?‍ I'll check out the top plate and such, but as far as I can see, nothing else is damaged but that gear.

 

[crucialRC]

Chassis not bent is it?

 

[1Coopgt]

Someone explain this to me. How do the Spur gears strip like this? If the gear mesh is good that really shouldn't happen . Is the pinion gear getting hot and melting the spur gear ?
I've seen pictures like Z's before and never understood how this happens.
