The 🐙 krakenbone beater 🤣

[DougStar]

bibbity bobbity spot on doug ,
yor were ragging the sack off it and only very minor fixes ,
didnt even look like ya broke the pin brace either

Pim brace is still 100% and as luck would have it i just bought a set of ti clipless pins so ........ thankfully I have spares on hand

This is what I do
Bajas feking ripping

Its the only way

Good run there mate. Id be pretty happy with how she's turned out if I was you. Sucks you broke again, but not a bad fix tbh.

 

[DougStar]

Yeah im pleased with it

Damage report as far as I can tell after stripping parts off its just the hinge pin shock is good and the arm and the crud guards did there job coz hostile boots are still in one piece
P.s check out the socks and flops today

 

[DougStar]

K so beater is ready for another thrashing
Replaced the bent hinge pin drilled out the hexes and put 5mm pins in (hammered in mind you)
Adjusted the rear turn buckels for less camber crud guards back on
When I rebuilt the diff no so long ago I filled the diff case with grease like a lot here a some pic after 1 tank it didn't seep as much as I thought looks ok

(hammered in mind you)

Fekking hack also my transcase looks the same

 

[DougStar]

First I drill the hexes so .......maybe not 100% straight no drill press so.....guess thas why it was a super tight fit

 

[RcJunkie13]

At least the pins are less likely to fall out, lol I actually did that on purpose on an 8th scale one

 

[Seandonato73]

The cases arnt sealed so some grease is gonna come out, when you fill them up. I'm more so hoping to see less bearing issues, but no idea if it will really help.

So far I see no difference between filled and not filled like the seep is the same

After reincarnation the bits baja has come back as "The krakenbone beater

Just put my two battery options on the scale lipo 150g hump pack 349g so there is another 200g i could shave off coz I weighed my rig with the hump

Cool, just be a little cautious

 

[DougStar]

what the hell you on about son

Cool, just be a little cautious

 

[DougStar]

I'll take my chances with the lipos I take mine out for every charge give them a visual inspection

 

[Rep732]

All 2 of mine are sitting in the reciever boxes.. the kraken one haric made is good to hold a fire but the plastic losi one well yea that will burn... likewise doug every charge I make sure they are all smooth and no damage

 

[KevTrem]

I run lipo or LiFe in every rig, 5th and 1/10th. Always taken out to be balance charged. Doesn't matter if its a 2000 mah 2s LiFe, a 2200mah 2s Lipo or a 10000mah 6S lipo.
I had one swell up suddenly, a Turnigy 6s 6500mah battery, its been sat in a salty bucket for over a year now.

 

[DougStar]

So had issues yesterday after about a tank the rear locked up wasn't brakes wasnt lose pinion wasn't dog bone pin was able to turn the diff but no forward or backwards movement
So my guess is trans gears are done

 

[DougStar]

Bet this has come back to haunt me
Couple months back I did a rebuild with this small ding on the ring gear
Gonna open my diff today and check
Side note anyone who said not to worry about it will receive a complimentary holiday from the sheriff
