Bent push rod

Took both trucks out to set up the shocks, and such the other day, and things got a bit out of hand for the Revo.

I have a decent size area behind my apartment to run in for testing and such. (same area in my Maxx video), and there is a fuckin electrical outlet in the middle of the yard.

It's damn near invisible, but acts like a magnet for R/Cs.

it's a typical box mounted on a 8 inch steel pipe. I've plowed it numerous times with the T, and have actually worked it loose to where it wiggles about 8 inches, and has some give now.

Well, I guess my revo saw the maxx nail it with no problem, and gave it a go with those squirrely tires on it, and BAM.. bent my push rod, cracked my reciever box, and lost a fuel tank pin in the first go..

I've jumped the hell out of this truck with no ill side effects, but I hope these exposed push rods aren't the "achiles hell" of the truck, cause they're right fuckin there first to greet anything....lol

as bad as it is it's probably a good thing that a small cheap part wore the damage. it might have been a chassis!

Got me some purdy new red push rods today.. These alloy ones are more rigid than the cheap ass stock ones and half the weight.

I dropped more than an ounce (29.2 grams) by switching all 4 to these.

Will see how they do tomorrow.

Fuck that pole... I didn't like that shit hole anyways..lol

That sounded tough didn't it?

I'll just go down the street to the construction site, and run there.

lol... I was stoked about that too.. It's even etched in there, and not painted on. Cheap too. One of the coolest hop ups for the $$$.
