I've had 2 do that. Did you get it fixed?

I just had an OG Revolver lose 3 magnets and now it is toast.

Looks great DF. I really am interested in the chassis and how it performs. Can't wait to hear about how it does at Nats. Do you guys have a comp before then?

[dieselfuel]

RX, yeah i got it fixed, i got it back in place and put a drop of CA glue between all the magnets.

Wrightcs77, no comps before nationals, just practicing 2-3 times a week.

[dieselfuel]

i got new lower links (because the traxxas titanium ones bent) courtesy of frankyrizzo, and new link mount plates. oh and tires...

body shots coming soon

[1beatjeep]

have you ever ran this in a comp yet.TO compare it to like a gimble/j-2 or naz tuber.

[dieselfuel]

we went crawling with gimbal saturday morning. i havent competed with it yet. but gimbal drove one and said he liked it a lot and that he would drive one. that was a big compliment to us. it cleared ledges a little easier than gimbal's tuber and sidehilled just as well. im really looking forward to putting it against the rest of the 2.2 world at nationals.

[dieselfuel]

He runs the RC4WD straight axles. I think he is going to grind off the steering arms so they don't hang up.

Thanks Frank.I was wondering about the steering arms and if they may pose a problem with getting hung up. RCP sell these items BTW?
