First Mechanical Failure - Incredilby Minor

[Shredder]

:beforeme: to the Savage Flux!!!

I just returned from the BMX track!!! I was doing the large doubles - maybe landing "good" 1 out of 3 . . . I was doing everything I could to damage this truck except for maybe doing this: :machinegunner:

After about 30 minutes of bashing, getting LOTS of air time, I finally encountered my first mechanical problem: pinion gear slipped off. I didn't lose it but I hate to admit I also didn't bring any tools dmt: so . . . back home we went but I don't care - I had a really phenomenal time --> AGAIN <-- bashing this truck!!!

Note to anyone with a new Flux: Remove the screw holding the pinion to the motor, use thread lock and reinstall it.

Thanks friends,

Sweet man. At least it didn't happen as soon as you got there.

ya the pinion is a common thing. lots of guys red loctite. i did blue and torqued it good and no issues. glad your enjoying the truck!
