So I was riding back home to get money and sh*t today, and I plowed into the log. I got thrown about 3 feet, blew out my back bearings, ripped my tire 3/4s of the way off the rim, and broke my front plastic.
Wrecked today

fine. compassion, then demanding. well I put the tire back on the rim, and pushed it down to where i could get picked up. I messed my arm up a bit.
those damn logs are always jumpin out of the bushes at ya. sorry to hear about the blaster. guess it took most the damage since there wasn't a broken bone list next to the broken part list
Well.. I don't think anyway. My arm hurts, and my back is mess up but.. when I hit the log, I'm guessing it took the tire right off of the rim, because I remembering the back right sliding to the right, and it started bicycling (I was in 4th gear, so it had ALOT of momentum) and threw me off, flipped (I guess from the broken front plastic) and just sat there on the rim. Started right up though so.
The axle is moving up and down, and theres clanking when I turn the axles....whatever that could be.
Maybe it just amplified an existing problem.... Glad to hear you are ok...
Thats how I upgrade stuff.... I break it 1st then I get to buy new shiny stuff !
I hit a stump a few months ago, and twisted the splines in my stock steering stem.
I had to go buy a Lonestar....
So maybe you need some new shiny stuff???

Thanks. I never knew that plowing a log in 4th gear would blow a bearing.

I had that happen on my blaster. Didnt break the bearings but the rear hit something and flipped me. I think its because the blaster is so narrow and sits high. Ive done the same on other quads and didnt flip.
Glad your ok though. You can easily fix a machine but fixing yourself takes more time.
