1st and 2nd runs = Disaster

[MaxxFusion]

Last weekend i finally got to take my gmaxx out. After about 5 minutes or so I saw smoke coming from the truck. I ran over and took the lid off. Here come to find that I almost completley melted through my spur gear. The slipper was too loose.

On Saturday I was was able to replace the spur gear and tightened the slipper all the way. The truck was fine then. So I was driving around the backyard taking it easy trying to get used to driving the maxx. I drives so different than my pede and rusty. I makes very wide turns. I dont know if that normal or if I have to make some adjustments. So anyway I was getting bored driving so cauction so I started getting trigger happy. Well it wasnt long after that I wrecked. I slammed into a treated 4x4 fence post that was cemented into the ground. Something had to give and it wasnt the post. Needles to say I have to rebuild work to do now.

Here is the damage done.

Snapped a RD Logic CVD
Bent the Upper Arm (Look kins of like a L)
Ripped the pillow ball right out of my RPM steering Block
Unglued all 4 tires from my rims.

Luckily I have the new version of the G# upper arms I havent put on yet. I hope that the RPM steering block is still useable. I will just have to get a new CVD and check out my steering bellcrank. I recently installed the Proline servo saver and am running the Hitec 645MG.

I will see about getting some pics of the damage.
