do you have a part# for those?

I haven’t broke a bulkhead yet (knock on wood. But I have taken out 4 arms and 5 hinge pins. I wish they would have done a full cover around the hinge pin on the arms. It probably would have caused them to be a lot stronger

I’m glad people are acknowledging they’ve bent a lot of hingepins. I was going crazy thinking it was just me.

nope it is an issue I would say for sure. It is more of a week point I think that should be addressed. Who know maybe they willl. I hope they do and figure out a better version

I’ll take a broken hinge pin over an A-Arm or bulkhead any day. $5 and 1 minute fix. It’s not like they break by bumping into another buggy. They’re usually from hard crashes or lawmdarts. its actually a pretty good for it to be the “weak point” in a RC car.

yeah my issue is when I take out a hinge pin I tak out the arm too. I have 4 sets of front arms because of this. And 3 sets of hinge pins and I am about to send a package to Tekno for warranty

i have a set of bulkheads just to make sure I am covered. I know a lot of people seem to break them.

My guess is the ET410 has gotten really popular since it’s release a short time ago. But majority of owners aren’t the “hardcore racers”. Rather its for the guys who go to the track with a group of friends to have a good time and a few good laughs. I’m sure there would be far less broken parts if the owners didn’t crash as often, especially myself lol. I can count a good 20 ET410 owners at our local track, yet we still don’t have a dedicated class for racing.

As for the front, Exotek makes a nice heavy duty brace that reinforces the shocktower with the bulkhead.

As for the inner hingepins, it might be designed to snap before the bulkhead or arms do.

how many ET’s were there? Was it all 5 out of 5 who happened to break their bulkheads? And if I was the parts guy, I’d stock more bulkheads if that was the case.
