Just a side note, nylon will wear the crap out of alloy or even steel. See it on truck air line a lot. Line will vibrate and rub its way right through a crossmember. The line is only worn a bit, never fails to amaze me.

It was very surprising to see how much the hub wore with barely anything more than scratches on the wheel. We live in a strange world sean

You know it mate

My truck decided to eat a fence today. Damage wasn’t too bad didn’t even know it was broken until I started cleaning it

I think I’m gonna bend the brace back and buy new covers

The spark plug shortly quit after. He will be collecting disability for the remainder

 

[Seandonato73]

The only problem is that all my other metal bits are so beat to poop that i will have to replace everything haha

 

[DougStar]

I got it in a vice right now bending back.
@evssv as soon as corona goes away and I can work again I’m getting the rcmax but until then it’s chassis in a vice

 

[misterleon]

Bought the rcmax chassis and the bartolone cage panels. @crucialRC video really scared me so I wanna keep as much poop out of the inside of the truck as possible. Now I guess I have an extra chassis to start my next build.

 

[misterleon]

Hey yall new chassis came in got the diff and engine fitted and started mocked up the rest. Needed to cut the rear chassis brace so make it sit straight which is weird also had to cut a hole in he pipe mount

 

[misterleon]

All together again
