Mystery solved...

I was running my electric RC8T today for the first time at the track. The first qualifyer I lost an upper left front hinge pin after lap 3....2nd qualifier I didnt lose a hinge pin...the Main I lost a upper right front hinge pin GAME OVER......I looked at it and was like how in the hell is the hinge pin coming out and both bushings are intact and there aint nothing broke!!!

I thought it was because the battery is a 6500 MaH monster and it is heavy....blah blah blah....

Ok reasoning kicked in....has to be flexing a lot to allow the pin to David Copperfield out........see pic below.....FML, I guess I forgot to put that bolt in..... live & learn
