So, I got a new DM-1 Spec RTR a few weeks go.
Already put over 1/2 gallon through it too.
While I was out driving one afternoon and developed a handling problem, so I took it apart to track the problem down.
Could this be the problem?
I had a receiver pack go and the car launched a curb, flew about 30 feet in the air, nose planted in a neighbors yard and finally came to rest another 25-30ft away...after tumbling and flipping several times.
I was very lucky that nothing (or nobody) was hurt or damaged.
I wont be doing that anymore.
The only thing that happened was the chassis bent and the rear upper hinge pin holder broke.
On a happy ending though, it finally gave me the opportunity to do this...
I have the 7075 King Headz chassis coming to replace the stock one, then I will source parts to have 2 DMs...1 electric and 1 nitro.
I love this car!
