He was round here earlier checking the car out so i'll get him on the case too - He can take my plate away for now as i won't be racing for a week or 2 anyway.

how come no one complains about ae or kyosho cars breaking in similar ways?i caned my pro at robin hood on sunday and broke nothing.for the price i cant see why youre moaning,have you tried not hitting as many things or daft as it sounds slow down in tricky places.i cant see how the car just falls apart.if youve got an issue talk to ansmann uk direct,dont just slag em off on a forum.thanks jez.

[jasonrcb]

hold on a minutei dont know where you read anyone slagging the car off but if i had broken another make of car i would of done the same

i also dont hit things i do know how to drive the car has a weak point and with this thread lets hope it gets sorted out now just because you didnt break anything maybe you should try harder

JEZ.
should have no problem with it at batleys regional the track is alot tamer than york and you had no problems with it there even though it ran straight out of the box

calm down jez they probobly are strong cars but some peoples driving just isnt to the standard of and yours (and mine ) (by the way i will beat you next time im not so great outdoors! offroad) plus there talking to a ansmann rep on here i think , but guys jez is right we dont slag kyosho cars off so calm down with calling it rubbish, we didnt complain about the cat outdrives (2 much) and now thats sorted so lets hope the same thing happens here , i know someone who makes custom rc parts so mabi he can knock a few up in carbon or CNC mechined ali

And............ breathe.....

I can see this one quickly getting out of hand - i think you'll all agree people like Jamie from Ansmann have been very quick to react and promptly reply so give them a minute to come up with an option.

All new cars have a weakness and by the sounds of it not everyone has found it yet so all in all it's a good start!

I was at the National Debut of the XX-4 and i think every single Team Losi driver snapped the front towers, it was soon changed and people were happy.

This problem has been reported for less then 1 hour and there are already 20 replys or so.

It WILL be sorted i'm sure

im not dissing you or your driving.ive seen many rb5s and b4s etc break t pieces yet still not done one myself,sure i drive a lot tamer than most but many times slower can be quicker.i just dont see how it just fell apart without hitting anything.pm your address and i will send you a t piece from my spare madrat when it returns from eden park at no charge to you.i will even pay for the postage.if i gets you racing the car im happy with that.many thanks jez.

[jasonrcb]

[Rebelrc]

Just reading this thread, so thought I would have a look at mine, mines had about 4 lipo packs through, out the garden and on the track. There are no witness marks on the T-Piece, no stress marks, no bend marks, nothing.

I am just wondering, and this isn't a criticism, how tight are you doing those fron suspension mount screw, up. Are they nipped up, tightened hard, loose? Also, were the tranny brace screws in properly.

I agree with Nick though... this could well be mountains out of mole hills. I have seen B4's get broken by one person and not another, and I for one, daren't own a Losi car, as they hate me.

I guess sometimes you can just be unlucky with bits Its not unusual for companies to revise kits soon after release, Look at the b44 top decks from last year, original TC3 wishbones, etc. Both of those items were revised an replaced in kits so I am sure if it is a recurring problem then it will get changed. Plus if ti doesn't then there are enough highly skilled people on oople who will be able craft a more sutiable replacement at little extra cost.

My friend who has an RB5 has done a couple of those and has made just a carbon plate (Well actually i think he said it was part of an old egress chassis so FRP) to run underneath the car between the gearbox screws, hasn't broken one since

Mines just gone tonite!! Car was driving great... One lap up on everyone after the first heat. Then, just a tap and thats it!!! VERY disapointed!!! I really hope we can get somthing sorted... Its a great car, handled very well and everyone was impressed by it.... Its a silly fault thats spoiling a great car. Im gunna look in to getting some kind of brace made up in steel or alloy for mine untill a proper soloution is sorted.

Hi everyone,

My car should hopefully be here today, so i can get all the new option parts i have in mind drawn up in CAD. I will then get these manufactured within 7-10 days!!!

Hopefully i will be able to get something sorted for the T-Piece!
