wow don't know how much more u could do!!

Tranny Damage today ,, HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN ? I am thinking about 20 gallons of hard bashing probably took it's toll

Notice the hole in the tranny case and the chunk of metal missing (next to the adjustment hole)

 

[Dragin]

Drove it like you stole it much??? Looks like you have the same kind of luck I have with mine LOL Run for 5 minutes and spend 3 hours fixing it :duh:

 

[xtremsavage]

How'd you put a hole in the case? Yeah, it's say after 20 gal. you'd finally get some kind of damage. And the clutch lasted that long?

 

[Jeremy]

Never had a problem w/ it until now ..

It was in a savage 25 . That I bought like 3 yeas ago .. been threw 5 engines ..

2 .25
1 sts .30
2 surefire .32

 

[Dragin]

Been through that much and you just now have a problem?!?!? I think you got your moneys worth out of it LOL

 

[Jeremy]

yes I think your right

 

[Grumpy1822]

Jester, you just need more trucks. I cut my damage percentage down by adding another r/c. My original gets some down time now. With 5 your savage wont break as much lol.

 

[Jeremy]

lol .. I have 2 savages .. I was building a 3rd .. Bud canned the idea because I realized I couldn't keep up w/ 3 trucks .. OMG 5 I would loose track ..lol.. And probably my family .

 

[xtremsavage]

Jester, if you need a new case and gear, I believe I have them, but the case is non-X. LMK

 

[Promc]

Hey all,
We went bashing at the weekend & Savagebasher4.6 managed to break his exhaust,so,we took a picture of it! He landed hard on the back end & the wheeliebar battered the exhaust.We also had 2 pullstarts break & stripped a spur gear.A good days bashing was had by all

 

[gavmac]

Ouch, sore one! Must have been a super hard landing! Glad to hear you all had a good time regardless.

Gav

 

[Dreadnaught]

thats why you go with the buku. the rear exhausts seem to get tore up, and ripped off to easily. i have the polished hpi pipe, and for the hpi engine, it woke it up pretty good.

 

[crzy-svg-usr]

could possiably fix it still if it is just dented and deformed. look up the method of freezing ur pipe, seems to work well and its a loss anyway so no point in not trying to fix it

 

[X]

Bashing + rear exhaust = bad idea. Time for a Buku!

 

[Dragin]

OUCHIE!! Just how big of a jump was that?

 

[hpinitromt]

if you don't break stuff, you didnt have enough fun!!

 

[Tatter]

That'll buff right out.

 

[AllanQ]

OUCH!! but looks like you had fun and thats all that matters.

Not to get off thread topic, but thanks Dread, I just got the HPI polished pipe and I can't wait to see the difference the pipe will make.

 

[AoD]

Yeah, rear exaust isn't good for bashing. I jump the crap out of my rig, and I can't count the amount of broken bumper screws I have now. I'm sure I'd have destroyed many rear pipes by now lol.

 

[Promc]

Evenin all,
I think its safe to say he wont be buying another rear fitting exhaust!Looking at the vid,the landing wasnt all that bad !

The worst thing was,we hadnt been out all that long before this happened.The other 2 got a good bashing though .Full vid coming soon!

 

[Pineapple]

Just unlucky on that landing with the wrong angle. Too bad, but the newer pipe on side should make it run better.

 

[YeahYeah]

I agree w/ Pine, it seems like it was just a bit unlucky.

It's kind of funny how you can mash these things into just about anything sometimes and they don't seem to take a scratch, then another time you just seem to clip something a tiny bit and the whole damn thing practically explodes.

 

[bully]

Word of caution, telephone poles hurt.

 

[Jeremy]

OMG !!!! that is serious man .. damn I don't know what to say sorry my man

ps. looks like the pipe was spared tho

 

[Grumpy1822]

Hey, its a good excuse to get some FLM or IRC tvps. Maybe a midtank while your at it. Always rebuid stronger. You can tell the wife that your just fixing the broken parts. lol

 

[AoD]

Holy crap! That looked like it hurt! Wow. Sorry about that damage. I gotta say, it's a pretty good demonstration of real damage however!

As grumpy said, new extended TVP's would be kickin` specially if you went with a mid-tank as well!

 

[Dreadnaught]

jeebus. that is just......wow..........that is a swift kick to your wallets nuts.

p.s. what kind of pipe is that?

 

[Blazer X]

Nice damage report....where in Indiana are you?

 

[Double-O-Zilch]

Wow bully, my TVPs are in perfect shape compared to yours! You really raised the bar.
