So however obvious this might seem or might not seem. I kept ripping the hell outta my stock Amp & Ruckus shafts at the wheel. I am fairly new back into the RC thing, addicted is an understatement so to speak.. don't remember "bashing" my race RC's when I was 13ish. I do remember having a huge bag full of RC's, don't shoot me folks, but i think they were RC10-4b or something. Same chassis, endless amount of customization. But, I don't remember the awesome fun bashing can be too. Cuz i freaked when my toys broke..lol..not really but seemed to bug me way more then.. anyway, ECK Amp was first "real" RC in way, way more than a few years. I know they 'cheap', but IMO, not "cheap".. I've had a satisfying hellva lotta fun and just straight beat the ever living hell outta that RC and other than aforementioned breakage, that truck is like a mofo energizer bunny wearing a TIMEX watch, in the form of a awesome lil MT RC.. YES YES.. i could totally shell out for some form of metal shafts.. And prolly end up having to. But i had a Redcat Volcano EPX I got cheap for project that turned into getting a part removed here & there for other projects. Also I have that "addiction" thing I mentioned that has went from 1 RC buggy six months to same buggy in pieces with 2 3S BLX's, Stampede, Ruckus, AMP, Ruckus 1/18, few Dromida 1/18, 3 helicopters, 2 planes & a freakin partridge in a pear tree .. .. I'm broke cuz of those damn things (damn in a good way..haha).. Hence the EXP dog bone idea early this morning. I'll be damned if it didn't almost go off without a hitch. Having to limit my articulation somehow as at full up & down the bones are a tiny bit too long & slightly bind.. need to fix with ??. adjustable links from said Volcano? I will attach pics if anyone is at all interested. I'm not sure, this might be the norm? This kinda swap. Still new to this n all.. and love hacking up and building things.. Any input or complaints or opinions or whatever is welcome. Happy bending breaking & bashing..
