I don't know what they're called but one of the rods that is used to control the rear wheel toe snapped. Pretty weak, any vendors have some available?

And a video of it snapping
Mav 4 - YouTube

Sorry for your trouble. It looked good until it broke. I like your splint with the wrench.

 

[C.Moore]

Lol I used every wrench that come in the tool kit.. I think they're four in there you can't see for tape.. I run out of tape on the last one

is it solid or a tube ?

so we need thicker ones now, lol

how did u break it u must have hit something just right hard and fast?

 

[C.Moore]

Hollow, I posted the video of it snapping.. I've done more extreme jumps and climbs than that but I must have hit just right

Benzo the video is a YouTube link rite under the pic it dont look like a hard landing just must have hit on that side first ??

Where exactly did it break? I watched the vid, that was weak. Looks like another item that will need strengthening

 

[RTB]

If it was that hollow threaded aluminum piece that failed, I looked it up on the parts list and it looks like it comes one piece with the ball joint....

I already have the specs for the parts, they should be getting made in the next week or two

Send me a PM when you have pricing and availability nailed down, thanks

 

[AReed]

You got it

 

[Cinergyswedge]

You got it

Another Weak part found early....so we can all update them! Thanks for the share.

 

[AReed]

I knew that part was going to give just as many problems as the front. Im just waiting on some final prices from the CNC shop and I should be able to ball park pricing. We don't use junk injection style races like other companies so our rod ends will last at least twice as long as everyone else's.

It broke at the threads.. Definitely weak and needs upgrading

So it broke on the gold coloured steel on the threads toward the ball joint? I would have thought the hollow aluminum turnbuckle would have broke first

 

[C.Moore]

Not the gold threads but the threads coming off the tube going to adjustment tube if that makes any since lol

Yeah gottcha I think, The black steel portion, the actual tie rod itself that goes back to the bushing

Nice use of a wrench...
