starting to notice the cheapness
 

little things like the rear ballstuds ripping out of the plastic just under the shock tower, rear shock towers breaking, rear hinge pin holder breaking.

what else you guys breaking ?

replaced the shock towers with carbon ones, replaced the shocks with b4's, just need to get some metal hinge pin holder made up and should start being more reliable on the track :)

any one drilled through the plastic block (125000501) that the rear ballstuds screw into, then get a longer ballstud and ad a nut the other side ?

yeah i ve got long ball studs and a nut on all of them i ve got the truck and every time put it on the track first day i got it they ripped out or pulled across the two holes destroying whole peice butat the min ive changed alsmost all of the corners to t4 parts for spares (there easier to get hold of)
still good fun

i did the rear ballstud aswell glued the pups in no probs:thumbsup:

yer was thinking about glueing them in, wil try that before the drill comes out

t4 parts thay direct replacements bud?

not really as the rat is metric thet4 is imperial but a full ball stud & cup may do it :)

d4 stud work well were did you get the carbon rear shock tower from dan and the front shock tower

you no when i u brought them bunch of spares, thay was included bonus really, the guy above (gerbil) had them made

we need some one in the no, to make a rear hinge pin holder set up

from gerbil

gerbil mate

any spare ?????

i have one frot carbon tower spare but needs the middle cutting out of it to let the shell past, or u can fit it as it is cut the front of the shell a bit and then double side tape the nose (the bit u just cut off) to the front :)

i'm not sure about all these weak comments. I broke 4mm thick atomic carbon shock mounts, front and rear on my old RB5. If you crash, things will break no matter what car you drive.
I've also had no problem with the ball studs or the hinge pin holder. In fact the only thing i broke at the BRC was one of the the rear hinge pins itself. Sheared clean where they appears over-hardened, but the holder was intact. And that was after a nasty cartwheel on the main straight, which i wouldn't expect many cars to drive away from.

didnt take much of a tumble to rip out the ballstuds on mine, grip rolled it and is was out :thumbdown:

must admit tho, when i broke the shock tower i was surprised that was the only broken bit, greeting teeth moment

hmmm TeamC make the metal hinge pin holder as i have one :)

yer, do u no if there goin to carry stock in the uk ?

ansmann will stock the parts soon

Then soon what?

ud be better going to TeamC and getting them off them , as asmann ill charge twice as much as they do , just email them and see , when i dealt with teamC they was excellent

Same here i hit a grass divot and the car just seemed to explode. So i super glued the ball stud in worked a treat.

all glued up thanks for the tip guys
