It wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. At first I had a bad switch so it was making my servos act weird. Ditched the switch and charged the Rx pack and everything was fine there. Then I was coming down the front straight and the left tire brushed the wall... it spun the truck into it and broke the right front hub carrier. I replaced them with Kyosho ones and had no more problems. I tried a few times to get a screw to stay in the knuckle with no luck. I swapped in a Kyosho one (Thanks Tune) and then everything was golden the rest of the night. The truck just needs to be gone through. I am going to run Kyosho hub carriers for sure.... tons stronger. (Just the plastic ones.)
I have to say I'm pretty happy about the lack of damage to our Revo last night...it's usually good for a broken pushrod or two, but last night nothing. The front skid and rear wing did take their fair share of abuse though....ouch.

I mean, c'mon, I get on the track once every 10 months, why can't I drive better?

Oh okay, so all you need to do is go over the truck and, one-by-one, remove each piece and replace it with a Kyosho piece, until you have a durable kyosho truck. Good idea.Big Grin
Oh and Rob..... thanks for confirming what I have been saying. LoL I think HotBodies was going for a very hard part that wouldn't have a lot of play for racing. On the other hand it is VERY brittle. The Kyosho ones have some give to them but I had a decent crash that I was ready to walk off of the drivers stand to fix a carrier for..... and it didn't break. They are TONS stronger. I was watching Rob crash and flip his truggy wishing that the LSP was that tough. LoL

I ask myself the exact same question each time I go.

Hahahahaha!!! Shut up. Big Grin The only thing that will be Kyosho is likely the hub carriers. Everything else is fine.
