Re: How about a Fail thread
no problem as long as the outdrive bearing doesn't go south. have to use a trick allen key to get in there and loosen the bolt. how do you change the thrust bearing? worse, what did the heat from welding do to the bearing, diff balls and diff rings? ugh.

Re: How about a Fail thread
I think the sweet tires that were on my GP-10 when I got it qualify as fail...

...especially combined with the battery straps on top of the top deck instead of underneath, and the packing tape holding the electronics in place. And I haven't even shown you guys the underside of this thing. It looks like someone attacked it with a belt sander.

Re: How about a Fail thread
Here's a couple gem's I've posted around here before. Both worthy of this thread.
This was originally an RC1-

And here some turkey tried to run the motor straight off the receiver-

Re: How about a Fail thread
I had to swap computers to get my photos, so sorry for the multiple posts. I tried to make a wheelie bar out of gold pan trimmings because I installed a Mamba Max 5700 in a RC10. Epic fail on the wheelie bar, universals, and tranny
I guess the skate park did help either

Re: How about a Fail thread
