DEX210 - What have people broken

[mikeyscott]

In the process of ordering spares and so forth.

I haven't broken anything yet, but seen a few rear towers done


What have people broken and what did you do to break it?

[gainsy]

So far just 1 front wishbone, cars don't agree with concrete

[Dazzler]

I know of two cases of broken rear wishbones, and a bent inner rear hinge pin.

Both for good reason...

[Big G]

not sure if this counts, but I cross threaded the spur cover onto the motor plate as it's difficult to get it in straight without a ball ended hex drive (which I have now)

[Mitch269]

So far just a rear tower overall I think the car is pretty tough

Other than typical buggy breakage items, that you've experienced in the past - it seems that threads like these always come with posts from people that do a lot of crashing, as it seems impossible to have broken anything yet as these cars haven't even had time to have been worn-in of yet.

[Bungleaio]

Nothing up until today but I've now got a broken spur gear cover due to someone ramming me.

Animal!

Rear shock towers where popular at Coventry today, five or six got broken, usually as the result of a tumble after the double.

[mikeyscott]

Yup I know the jump at Coventry. Did the same with my xx but didn't break the rear tower etc

[TonyM]

Rear Shock Tower. It was big crash.
Body split along the lower window line on both sides. Now held together with cricket bat tape.

Rear Shock Towers here Carbon ones on the way

[jamiekerr14]

I have run my car for Equiv. of a full days racing..

I broke 2 rear towers on my 1st time out with the car, they were not so much bad landing but catching a wheel in a high speed section and rolling. Which catches the top edge and snapped it. They have both broken in the exact same spot. And see almost like small air pocket or 2 there.

But I don't know enough about injection moulding and so on to comment much more. I raced the buggy yesterday morning and had 0 issues. And there was a large jump at torch and landed to flat a few times. For me this buggy is amazing I have never driven a 2wd in anger before but this one rocks! Got some carbon goodness on the way, but cant fault the buggy so far!

3rd weekend of racing and broke a rear shock tower, out in front no pressure just a hard landing after a jump. Definetly seems to be the weak spot on the car as i have seen others go . Carbon on the way .

Plenty to be broken at the MK GP then! Good job I've ordered 5 packs!
