Lesson learned: keep the plastic arms. they need to flex and/or break... otherwise you destroy many more parts and a repair that might have cost 50-100 now costs 200+

[@RCKnockout]

I’m still running the aluminum arms but now I’ve got the plastic bulkhead….so that should be the first thing to break in the event of a crash

[@islandrc-duke1972]

wow,that was a hard hit to break all that stuff,cool rebuild brother

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks man! Yeah it was an extremely hard hit…..before I tore it apart I figured there was gonna be some underlying damage

[@islandrc-duke1972]

[@Uttermonkey]

Are you ever guna get a primal raminator?

[@RCKnockout]

Doubt it….they cost a lot….and they’re not very practical…..I wouldn’t have any way to take it anywhere

[@maartencoppens7312]

Try to weld the chassis if you can weld aluminum

[@RCKnockout]

Idk how to do that…..it probably wouldn’t line up if I tried lol

[@chrisdixon4379]

Man bro, that took a massive hit, wow

[@RCKnockout]

It sure did!

[@Andre_Thomasson]

Personally, I would change some parts that hold the wishbones out for plastic so that when it crashes those break leaving the aluminium alone but in this case it means those alu parts would still have been damaged and the plastic part in the chassis too so maybe its good the chassis broke

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah I’m running the plastic bulkhead now….so if I hit the front end it’s gonna break the plastic bulkhead…..it still could possibly break the chassis though

[@Andre_Thomasson]

@@RCKnockout mm yeah wise descisio n

[@RCKnockout]

@@Andre_Thomasson yeah that’s what I was thinking

[@robertheuer7670]

i had the kingmotor t1000..loved it sold it cried some....the guy i sold it to completely trashed it....i paid 800 got 500 when i sold it with the 2 speed

[@RCKnockout]

Is that the king motor version of the 5t?

[@robertheuer7670]

yup

[@robertheuer7670]

he had gotten his tax return back so he was throwing money around so i took advantage...i didn't really have a okace to run the truck but i loved when i did

[@RCKnockout]

@@robertheuer7670 so he made a good offer on it?

[@robertheuer7670]

i was gonna get 400 but he offered another 100 if I delivered it....ive been on ebay looking at them since i watched your video.....unlocked some fun memories

[@nachomecnieto9070]

Sometimes Aluminum its not the best solution in some truck specific places,,,parts needs to flex,bend and break....plastics arms Works like fuse so you rc don't get destroyed as your...🤦‍♂️

[@RCKnockout]

You’re definitely right about that

[@jamesdash1906]

Ouch

[@RCKnockout]

Yep lol 😂

[@maartencoppens7312]

Could be worse could be mine 🤣 (sorry good luck repairing the machine)

[@RCKnockout]

That’s true lol 😂

[@benhamer9125]

i always run plastic arms much cheaper and easier just to replace an arm

[@RCKnockout]

That is very true….much easier fix

[@mychalpstanton9188]

Rc knock out deff knocked that rc out lolololol 😆🤣😂😹😆🤣

[@RCKnockout]

Oh yeah!

[@Sam-zl3sb]

This is why I will never use aluminum components.

[@RCKnockout]

Good call lol 😂

[@onemansvideos2134]

Plastic is more forgiving

[@RCKnockout]

True…..but on this impact….plastic would have shattered….for sure

[@mcsbikelife3829]

Dude you need to invest in some decent tools .

[@RCKnockout]

You’re not wrong lol

[@moereefer]

Get rid of the metal arm’s too much
