I keep breaking axles
 
everytime i hook up 6 cells to my xmods i break the dogbone axles..and i can't get an AWD Set anywhere in my city. anyone got a solution for me? is there any metal dogbones out there?

radio shack does not currently make better axles. where do you live? if you cant get the AWD in ur city then order it online. i currently have a non working white supra x mod. its the 5th one that i have owned. im getting to tired of getting new ones every time they break so i just use my mini :bdrop: :blift: :bdrop: :blift: :bdrop: :blift: :bdrop: :blift:

5? i've been through 11 cars. all of them either stopped working all together or something happened to the steering.

I just got a mini z and am quite happy w/ it
plus mr01 readysets were 99.95 at my lhs
so figured why not?

11! thats crazy. just buy a over lander.they run great, are extremely durable, and are way faster then x mods. ive had my OL for a year now and havent run into any problems.

i just called the 1800 number and i ordered 4 sets of axles. they were only a dollar something each.

the metal "doohickeys" aren't the piece i need, i dont need the cup, i need the part that goes IN the cup. besides, i've noticed i've started to round off the piece that goes into the rear end, so i need this anyway.

geez 11 cars... thats uhh... 550 dollars! my broken axle count is 2 u-joints. both of them were left ones.

aperson 02-19-2004 11:23 AM

no no no. ive been through 11 broken cars, not bought 11 cars. dont want people to think im rich or something. cant you tell by my avatar, i have to resort to brake cleaner and torches for fun out here in the middle of nowhere

So these cars have plastic dogbones and cups??? Man thats not cool. The only parts that have broken on my mini Z are the standard plastic H plate and the servo gears. These have been upgraded, the only thing that breaks now is the shell.

spinitsidewayz! 02-19-2004 10:28 PM

wow so with all the broken parts we could all get mini z's:p

I could have had a nitro R/C by now...but the XMODS are fun.
