Losi 5ive-T breaking rear dogbones

[12 Bravo]

i've had this truck since dec 2017 and its broken 3 sets of rear dogbones , the last 2 sets have been phat dad dogbones . i'm running integy lower control arms and a vertigo monster locker, the dogbones always break in the same spot.

I would put the stock suspension back on and see if it happens. Is there a different angle to the bones compared to the stock parts?

i put the integy arms on because i clipped the corner of my house & broke the stock ones

Is the bone bottoming out in the drive cut during sespension compression?

Phatdads are lifetime warranty

it does'nt seem to be bottoming out in the drive cup but it's close

Phatdads are lifetime warranty

yes and they've been great with replacements

Just a guess but I'd reckon it's the locker causing it.

 

[Buzzsaw46]

Yep, the locker is most likely the cause.

i talked to Steve at Daves Discount Motors and @Phill2 & @Buzzsaw46 you are correct it is the locker causing all the problems!!!

 

[Phill2]

Thought it would be.
Glad you found the problem

thanks apparently the grass in my back yard is a high traction surface!!!front & rear diff back to stock just waiting on replacement dogbones to start bashing again!!!!

Depending on tires grass can be very high traction, Hostile MXT's are great on grass.
