Rock E-Revo

[BJoe]

The right front tire fell into a hole and when I tried to throttle out of it myself and Grump on RCCrawler heard a snap from about 5 feet or so away and the right front appeared to have lost all power. We walked over there and when I picked the truck up, I expected to find the outdrive, driveshaft, or stub axle to be broken and was suprised to find that the spool broke instead! Here's a few pictures of the damage and the area that we were comping at, unfortunetly it broke before I got the camera out to tape it.

Here's the spool while still in the truck

Here's the remains of the spool still in the outdrive...and it's not coming out either. I ended up replacing it with a spare I had laying around.

Here's the diff after getting it out of the truck, I still haven't pull the assembly apart though.

Now that it's apart, I've found that the other side wasn't in much better shape!


And as promised......here's the field of rocks we used, it's a field of large, nasty, course, jagged, stuff that is held together with some pretty course concrete!
