Love it! I just built a B44.1 and am up in the air on whether I should have gotten this instead. If you decide to sell it, let me know. I may be interested.

i saw that b44 build, it was sexy. tbh, i love this thing so much, i wouldnt see myself selling it anytime soon unless i really really NEED to(or someone offers me thousands of dollars lol)

well, i was gonna take this bad girl out for a spin, and she decided to hate me yet again. this one pinion has come undone over 20 times ever since i got the buggy, and none of my tricks work, the threadlock worked the best, then it came undone again.. i tried blue thread-lock... and now that one failed too. i think heat is my problem. im not sure why, but it feels like it's getting too hot, and the thread-lock just melted away, there was no sign of thread-lock when i took the set screw off.

luckily, there is a man named Mr. Permatex, who makes high temp red thread-lock for sprocket bolts and crankshafts. so unless this pinion hits anywhere near 450 degree Fahrenheit, it isnt moving.
since i was out, and it was a nice day, i thought i can take some posing shots before heading in to go out and buy the thread-lock.. aannnnndd let the pictars BEGIN!

it was Bunny Day yesterday, so ya'll get a cute bunny first


now for the update:
for Easter, my family went over to my cousin's new home. needless to say it's an awesome house, they live right next to a hiking trail and a golf course.
These are the cousins that are into rc. at our last meet up, my brother broke a rear hub and a body mount his t2, along with one of my cousins, who broke the rear toe block on his t2
my other cousin prefers running nitro, and he had his xxx-nt. didnt break last time. Sadly, yesterday he only had half a tank of fuel left

anyways, we went to the beginning of the hiking trail, which was basically a dirt road with some gravel thrown in there and some weeds and whatnot. the beginning splits up into a walking trail and a crawling trail for short wheelbase full sized jeeps and yota's.
we were right where it splits up.
as we're all having fun and stuff. my cousin's xxx-nt runs out of fuel maybe 8 minutes in?
after he ran out of fuel, all 4 of us(my 2 cousins, my brother and i)all took turns driving my car.
crash after crash, it held up strong until maybe half an hour in. my cousin(the one who runs the xxx-nt) went a bit to fast and lost control(it was expected, my tires are straight up slicks now loool) and he hit a tree root. the buggy did about 6 flips in mid are and landed on it's rear right wheel on a rock surrounded by thick weeds. it hit the rock and flipped into the weeds.
we run over to get it and well.. i'll let the pix do the talking.
i only have one "action"(not really action) shot, because my phone camera was being derp.
i brought the car home and left it as is til now. nothing has changed since the crash(minus un-plugging the battery)


^^^^^ el "action" shot


^^^^^ it's all innocent and clean looking.. until you take the body off lol



^^^^^ that is a lump in the tire. i do not know what it is, and i dont plan to find out lol


^^^^^ el dirt


^^^^^ el damage

the total cost of the damage?
