Hillclimb gone bad.... Damage inside!

[Derrick Adams]

Apperently, when you hit a tree going backwards down a hill, bad things happen!:crazy:

[3leggeddog]

hahaha.i have never seen a axle bend like this.the best part was tryin to get it home like that,lol.

[Rm250RF900R]

Oh my.... I think a new axle might be in order :lol:

[chris200x]

OUCH... Did anyone get hurt?

[zoomerman]

wow lol thats crazy it's all good though just bend her back go:lol: what kind of axle are you replacing it with?

[3leggeddog]

no he was fine.but my poor bike will be hurtin for awhile

i don't know,i wanna put a +4 durablue in there but i can't expect him to pay for that,probally just another stocker.

[slothminx]

OUCH!!!! that looks painful...... Was the axle the only thing that got damaged?


Well i suppose thats what happens. But damn! you would at least exspect the rider to cusion the trike with himself :lol:

[3leggeddog]

i haven't taken her a part yet.last time i bent the axle in my r it took out the carrier too.i hope this carriers ok.i priced a durablue for her.379.00!!!might have to start savin.

[Derrick Adams]

good luck getting the axle out of the carrier!

[350Xhilaration]

So, Derrick was the pilot? How does that feel? Trashing your poor nephew's new ride. Glad nobody got hurt. Any plastic or tank, or fork damage?

[3leggeddog]

it should come right out,it's bent on the left side.it slides through from right to left.

[3leggeddog]

no other damage.it wasn't derrick it was charlie.i am just glad he's ok/man he was flin when he hit the tree!!!!!!

[Billy Golightly]

Holy crap! Man I'm suprised it didn't snap the axle right in half! :eek:

[New2ATC]

ouch... that must have been a bumpy ride back..

[MTS]

Wow must be the weekend for bad hillclimbs!!! i got up mine but comin backdown on the ice the EBS kicked in and slid..hit a hole in the path....and then that tree came up real fast doin 35-40 mph......Rolled that Polaris good.....hhaha...

[YTM200BOY]

[85hondaatc125m]

Apperently, when you hit a tree going backwards down a hill, bad things happen!:crazy:


wel....theres you problem, lol. At least no one got hurt and you can get new stuff for the trike:p

[SpeedBump]

Brandon, My Friend at the Garage ordered my axle. Durablue X-33 with the Cast Hubs. +4 It was only $370. Let me know if you are gonna get one, I will ask him if he can order you up one. That doesn't include shipping, but that is the best price I have found so far for THAT specific axle.

Glad to hear everybody is ok. Bummer on the Axle. Hey, CRAP Happens. Hey Charlie, did you go home and put some ice on it? .........YOUR EGO that is!!!! LMAO!!!

[traxxasx]

im still wondering why he was going down a hill backwards fast....from a hill climb. did he even try to hit both brake at the same time? or try to stop it, sounds like he was like whEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE down the hill then BOOM, ahaha good thing he wasent hurt, must of hit hard.

[Yamaha Tri-Moto]

It even hurts to look at it, poor trike.

[200xcellent]

Yeah I feel really bad about doin that. I told Brandon that I'm too dumb and his bike is too wide. I guess i didnt adjust well to his 350x. I had be climbin all day on my raptor with +3 swinger and maxxis sur traks without any problems. Then i screw up on the easiest hill back there. Trust me I feel really bad and his new axle IS covered.

[3leggeddog]

well the problem is he went from a 55 hp raptor,to my 20 hp 350,lol.


no biggie though,i ride the raptor enough that eventually i WILL break something on it,lol.not that i want to,but thats just the way it goes sometimes.

it's not that charlie is an unskilled rider,it was just muddy and the trike slide backwords,40 feet,and met a very big tree st the bottom.:Bounce

hey chuck,you sore yet?

[200xcellent]

No I'm not sore. That big mud hole at the bottom cushioned my body toss.

[Xowner]

tell me that 350X has some wheel spacers on it dont it?

glad everyone is ok!

[max]

gez. wish i could have been there.:wondering . dont let it get to ya charles. ive done way worse. dont give up on it. i cant wait to check out that raptor. thing looks sweet.

i take it this accident happened at g-mas.

[200xcellent]

tell me that 350X has some wheel spacers on it dont it?

glad everyone is ok!

Yeah, I think +3 on each side. Hey Max, if brandon doesnt have an axle by this weekend for the ride at your place i told him he could take the raptor. I'm just bummed it wasnt my bike :cry: , hopefully he orders one tomorrow. If he gets an axle and i dont go snowmobiling in Michigan then i will be there.

[350x'inNY]

Hey... I got a spare rear axle for a 350X another board member gave me... I'd be willing to donate it to your cause.... just give me a shipping addy and help w/the shipping and have fun with it!

Bruce

[3leggeddog]

wow bruce thats awesome,i'm sure charlie appreciates that as much as me.i'll send you a pm.

now this is what i love about our community.i have given away parts before,and it seems that has finally came back around,thanks bruce,your a hell of a guy.i'll supply the first,of many, rounds at TF.

[toyota200x]

Man that sucks. Makes me sick thinking about that.

[3leggeddog]

bump for a post with some killer damage!!hahaha,i love it.i never laughed so hard,.....lol.!!

[TrikeKid]

Pfft, it'll buff right out.

[traxxasx]

resurecting the dead?

[TrikeKid]

resurecting the dead?
I didn't, I was just not observant enough to realize how old the thread was.

[Stu-Pedasso]

Oww! I wouldn't do that very often.

[traxxasx]

I didn't, I was just not observant enough to realize how old the thread was.


lol okie..................

[SpeedBump]

Bump for a DEAD horse! Love it! Anyone else got pics of CARNAGE ? May as well turn this ole thread into a DAMAGED ATV/ATC thread! :w00t:

[3leggeddog]

thats what i was thinkin craig.i went through a bunch of old post,and threads from the last few years,and this one was one of my favorite carnage threads.i also want to bring up some of the old ridin vids,like the widow maker save,the wall,just some old threads that new members may not have seen,and that those of us who have seen em,can laugh and reminise!

[Mosh]

this aint buffin out.this poor quad,suffered a bent sub frame,broken rear fenders and a bent rear axle

[Scooter77]

Wow man...this is the first forum i'v ever seen that someone gave a part to someone, Most of the time people want to charge you as much as possible. That was nice of Bruce. Did you ever make use of that axle?

[3leggeddog]

nah,me and bruce never got together on it.i bought a +4 durablue from dennis kirk for it.it held up great for a year of me beatin on it.

yeah that poor quad took a good tmble.i started to run after it,but whe was movin a little too fast.that dude needs to learn to slow down before bailin.he just jumps off as soon as he thinks he won't make it,then tumble...tumble!

[TimSr]

Yeah I feel really bad about doin that. I told Brandon that I'm too dumb and his bike is too wide.


HIS BIKE IS TOO WIDE!!!!!! Tell him to take them sissy training wheels off and learn to ride a trike!!!:naughty:

[troy]

Good to know no one was hurt. Some thing like this could of been ALOT worst then just a bent axal.

But i have to ask, any video of you driving it back to the truck. I die to see it. I bet it was funny as heck to see. :lol:

[200xcellent]

man i was hoping this thread was lost forever
