last night I was doing some r/c tuning, in preparation for the interclub that's coming up..
got the new mod motor in my losi truck, was bedding in brushes, tuning suspension and slipper out the front of my house... at first only a bit of throttle... etc. after i got the slipper setup right, I thought, time for some full throttle action.. holy cow did this thing MOVE! so there's me enjoying watching the tyres balloon up when on the throttle...
until I hit the lightpost out the front of my house, head on, right in the centre of the truck.. it pushed the hinge front end in, snapped the swining front deck into 5 bits.
now just try getting this part, for an 11 year old r/c truck.
straight onto the Horn to PHC, Rob says he has a box of XX-T stuff that I can look through... although doesnt think he has the part I need...
still cool that they have some old school parts around! you guys weren't wrong when you said they stock lots of losi gear! :)
hoping I can get this thing fixed by this weekend (interclub), otherwise I'm gonna have to custom make one or something. somehow... I do wanna buy a new truck, but I'm not financially ready after speaning over a grand in the last few weeks on r/c already...
If you know someone with a Losi XX-T, that could maybe even just LEND me the part i need, for a race meet, that'd rock. Or perhaps someone that wants to sell their old XX-T... hrmmm
