Other than the defective parts from the factory, I've broken my first part today..... Forgot where I parked and lodged the losi up under my car... Had to pick the car up to get it out. It broke the shock shaft where it threads into the turnbuckle on the bottom... guess its time to get new parts now. Darn LHS. They sold me the losi but he hasnt got any parts in for it yet. He told me he was going to get some a couple of months back but he still hasn't gotten any..... Then he tells me I'm the first guy that's bought one to break anything.

Well according to the guy at Losi, If you drive them like your supposed to, stuff is gonna break.....

Reckon he meant running them under cars? :cheers:
 
What I've broken so far, is the dogbone...that's it. :D I just replaced the diff case to the polished ones and got that secondary gear cover from ebay. And took out that washer from the Mach.
 
My one way is starting to slip, think If I clean it off, it'll grip? Another thing, if I clean it off, and it is a bearing, what should I lube it with before I put it back? I dont have any bearing lube, any good substitutes?
 
A-Arms, cold or not, all my buddies are snappin arms, its a noted prob on here. people are desperately waitin 4 losi 2 send out an updated arm or for some1 like RPM 2 make 1 of their own. my buddy killed 2 left fronts. 1st his fault somewhat. 2nd the upper broke as the heat started, he didnt even make a jump. took a good look at them and they could have been made better. no word on material.

Damage to wallet

Let me count thy ways.

All four front A-arms (watch out for sheds and tree stumps)
Both diff cases (now aluminum)
Both differential collars (wish they were aluminum)
Engine head (should've had that body on tight)
Engine brace (don't know how, now aluminum as well)
Air filter (don't jump some thing if you can't see the other side)
Body (see above)
One solitary tie rod ball.

This is after two months and one and a half gallonsof O'Donnell

Who says this hobby is expensive.
