Re: My worlds car.....gets mangled
Kyosho Syncro kt 201 is the remote to be exact....
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that there wasn't more breakage. The shock tower, arms, shocks etc seem to all be alright.
I got lucky that the screws in the bellcranks sheered off , along with the nose tubes having enough give in them where the chassis got spared. ...Otherwise I probably would've ended up with an acordian.
Parts should be in on Wednesday so hopefully by Wednesday night she'll be back to normal.....aside from the small kink on the chassis by the nose brace screw hole.......n I gotta be honest, that small kink is pissin me off....lol

Re: My worlds car.....gets mangled
I feel your pain, I had a RE-Classic that had about the same amount of damage, I let a friend drive it (my mistake) and he hit a parking brick at almost full power. Part of the bell crank sheered off and I ended up having to replace the entire unit. When I contacted JConcepts and I was told they only sell the part as a whole and not single replacement parts.

Re: My worlds car.....gets mangled
yeah, the wires are lookin a lil ridiculous....Gonna have to tightn em up.
i ordered new jc bellcranks but would like to get that nut so i have an extra full set that i can use.
thats my 3rd set in a couple months...Thats almost a hundred bucks alone....add the carbon fiber, nose/wing tubes, fin turnbuckles,motor plate, etc on my 2 re re's.....i spend some bread on their products....It would be nice to get it.
so i sent them an email with the straight up sob story....even directed them here to witness the mangulation first hand.
No response yet. i mightve went a lil too heavy on the sob story n after a coupke sentences they probably just pressed delete.

Re: My worlds car.....gets mangled
I was thinking of getting one of those Kyosho radios............not anymore.
I am glad its not as bad as it looks. Good luck with the rebuild.

Re: My worlds car.....gets mangled
That is crazy! I have never seen an RC10 nose bend that far before.
Something clever goes here...

Re: My worlds car.....gets mangled
Got my parts in yesterday.....Maybe I'll get to it tonight...
Still haven't heard back about the bellcrank.....I'm starting to think those are some callous brothers, saw the sob story, smiled n pressed delete.
