Bent push rod
Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2005 12:24 am
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
