Brat Upright Left broke

Recommended Posts

I build my Brat Blue edition during lockdown, it had a run round the garden, another run on the beach but I was saving it for my mates holiday home where we have build a track. Nothing too crazy, some gentle jumps and a table top, otherwise just a plain dirt track.

Last weekend on my second battery on the track the steering suddenly went all sloppy then going round a corner the front left wheel came rolling towards me. It appears as though the fixed axle that comes out of the upright left has just fallen out. I can't tell if it is glued in, but its certainly not a one piece, and it doesn't look like it has broken, its just come out. 

Anyone experienced this sort of premature failure? Considering my vintage frog is still going strong, this does seem like premature metal fatigue.

Thanks

Did the axle come out of the knuckle???  That’s a known problem with the ReRe ORVs.

Search around. There are threads on how to fix it. Or buy a vintage set.
