After a day and i already damaged it.

Well i just got my OFNA Ultra MBX Pro yesterday which ws in almost brand new condition and i already wrecked it attempting to do back flips. i was getting 8 feet of air plus, but i couldnt get all the way around, kept landing on the lid and crap. and this one time the buggy was vertical and wham right on the rear. and im like wtf is wrong with it cuz the back tires wernt touching the ground. and the pic explain the rest. also the pullstart that i fixed.. the not slipepd and time for another rebuild.




My little helper.. all he wanted to do was get attention the whole time i was trying to fix it so i got nothing done


is there a aluminum bulk case, cuz the screws just ripped right out of the plastic one.

While i was puttin the buggy together tonight after fixin it, i realized that there were 2 main screws missings from the rear bulkhead where the shock tower connects and the same with the front. In the 4th pic, u will see 3 holes, top set is for the wing(they had screws), 2nd set of holes is for the shock tower where it connects to the bulkhead(no screws), and the 3rd set of holes is just to hold the diff case/ bulks together. but o well, bent stuff back, melted and dremeled, added 2 screws and im back up and running. also i rebuilt my pullstart again using as a handle a output yoke from a t-maxx. cuz a slice on each side, slide the rope through, put a big knot on, and a zip-tie and all set to go. let u guys know how i make out tomorrow. o yea my right rear hub is making a squeeky noise, any ideas? tomorrow im gona do a backflip for sure, im gettin the video camera out.

hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like a small dent. if it is small, you probably won't have any problems. if the dent is bigger than what it looks like in the pics it'll probably have too high of a backpressure causing the engine to run errraticly

I wouldn't worry about that... that's actually hardly anything. You can maybe stick a screw driver in the stinger (one that fits it as close to exact as possible) and try to bend it back a little, but that's hardly anything to worry about.
