|  Shooter shackle failure
So this kinda blows my mine but I just snapped one of my shooter shackles in half. Has this happened to anyone? Would RC4WD replace it? Especially since I bought them from on here but they we're never ran before me and I only have like 3 or so 15 min runs on them...  Last edited by fr8cture; 10-09-2013 at 07:16 PM. |

I've never seen anything the that happen before , It looks like it should be welded or something , that doesn't look like one machined piece.

Yeah, no money to replace it. I have no way to solder it back together either. TF2 will be out of commission for awhile.

Not sure but it is pretty sad since I wasn't running it hard. RC4WD got back to me a few days ago saying they wouldn't replace it. Forgot to mention that.

You really have to be careful, the majority of RC4wd stuff is not for competition use, AKA not for off road use. You have to remember that driving these RC's we are pretty hard on them, and these parts are tiny. |

 It's an off road trail truck. Also I was driving on my garden rocks not running in a G6...

Then WHY make it if it can't be used???????? People don't by a set of shooter shackles to stare at them and call '....just my shelf queen, after all, your not supposed to use them....'
