  1. Bashing
Got a good day of bashing in yesterday while screwing around at my local track. Had a few bad landings, the bottom front left shock screw ripped out of the a-arm on one of those landings and a dogbone popped out, then I saw that my rotostart backplate came off! Luckily I found it.

Nothing actually broke though lol

Looking good!


Btw, blue locktite is your friend. It'll keep that pesky backplate on!
 
The back plate on the engine is plastic. It's plastic on plastic. I had CA glue on that thing and it didn't hold!
 
There's a HUGE track and field for UT being leveled across the road from me and it's 20 acres of orange clay right now.
I'm really looking forward to a place to run it once they finish. :)
