Rampage MT bashing

[Stygian]

Took the MT out this evening with my buddy he hasn't played with a 1/5th scale yet recorded a view videos ended up snapping the stock XB exhaust I had on it though lol but well worth it. At the end of the first video I flipped it first time flipping it so was a little excited lol.


here's a pic of the exhaust

Yeah we had a blast I notice something wrong with the axel but didn't care still played around wasn't going to let it stop is just didn't know it was as bad as it is the only bad part is I can't get the broken axel out the scew holding the adapter on is stripped

Did the cup on the axle stay intact? I've never seen one break off like that.

should be, I have a spare axel with the dogbone already attached it's just depending on if I can get the wheel adapter off lol

Will the remains of the axle slide out the front of the bearing holder?

If it does it should be easy to grip the rest of the axle to loosen the set screw that holds the wheel hex pin.

There is one little piece of the axel stopping it from sliding out, I'm going to try tomorrow to brake that piece off as it was too nice of a day today to stay inside that or I'm sure it can be hammered out without damaging the bearings, thanks for idea of pushing the axel out.

Got the axel out, I took what rcdad suggested the first time in a pm and just pushed the pin that helps hold the adapter on out even though the set screw was stripped, it popped out with no problem at all and then one light tap with the hammer on the axel and it popped right out, this is great news should be up and running again in 30minutes.

Ok it's all fixed and running again, here's a pic of the axel. I am keeping this busted axel cause I don't know how the hell it broke because that's one thick piece of metal
