big dogbone problem

[toolmakerman48]

hi this is kindof a followup to my previous dogbone thread. well anyway my redcat tornado went through a couple dogbones the first day i got it (which i thought was unusuial). after i bent them back strait and went again they bent again but not only that the other 2 good brand new ones bent also, one bent enough to actuially fall out. its not that i mind buying dogbones but what am i doing wrong? they shouldent be doing that that fast right? its like 1 dogbone down per 75cc fuel tank does anyone know what could be causing them to bend? well thanks for the help anyway hope someone has had this issue and knows a fix.

Where are they bending? Tips? Middle?

mine bend in the middle but it still works

are you hitting alot of things and crashing hard?

 

[toolmakerman48]

they are bending mid and sometimes they bend a little at tip. they also twist a little. I'm not really hitting things. on occasion i do but I've just been rolling over a small jump and doing donuts.

Donuts will stress them more than usual....but I can't imagine it would keep bending them. Maybe the stock ones are just not very strong? Try upgrading them and see what happens.

first: what can i upgrade to? i think you can only order stock ones.
secondly: I've been driving my buggy through grass, kindof tall like over the wheel height. could that be part or all of the problem?
