    Oh Well, it had to happen

    Out with the Savage again today blasting about, next thing I don't have any brakes.... Luckily it was heading back to me when this happend, so had to jump in front of it to get it to stop

    Fkr had stripped the disc hub, ain't to hex shaped now !!!! Have seen a aluminum one for sale, so time for upgrade me thinks





    Time for a clean seeing as I started to strip it and found this - Back Arm Broken

    Yeah, you may have a point there

    Went and got a new back arm and a disc hub today and it's back together, Excellent shop for HPI spares and even open on Easter Sunday

    Going for a outing tomorrow, will see if it holds together this time

    Think I may stick a cozzy badge on mine

    Went out on Monday with new parts fitted At the end of the outing, I noticed brakes were sticking on abit, when I checked underneath, noticed that disc had spun round on my new ally anodised disc hub, I think now that the fibre disc may have stretched abit when it stripped the plastic hub first time round. looked okay though So it's kinda rounded the ends on the new ally disc hub

    Thinking now that if I get a new disc that it may fook that aswell with the not so new hub being slightly buffed on corners if yur still following me

    At the time aswell, guy in the shop was showing me a twin disc set up for 14 bucks. bloody hex disc hub was 7 bucks, wish i had just went the extra
