SC10 front wish bones can break if you hit stuff hard
|
The front wishbone weakness is all to do with landings not hittings....
The T4 suffers with the same problem but worse and both cars use the same wishbone (check out the part numbers). The wishbones are long and slender and taper to a narrow waist just inside of the front wheel inner rim which then widens to accommodate the outer hinge pin.
When landing from jumps, if the car lands and the wishbone straddles an uneven surface, track edging, rope etc. etc. then the downward momentum of the wheel snaps the wishbone at the narrow waist.
The SC10 wheels are a bigger diameter than on the T4 which gives more ground clearance so less chance of a fulcrum point being formed on the wishbone on landing a jump but it happens a fair bit on big jump tracks.
As I said in an earlier post... the RPM heavy duty pattern parts sort it. Otherwise its a brilliant car and great fun.
