The Slot.It long-can inline motor pod we are using has a gap below the bushing carrier and a medium size leading strut and tiny trailing strut. The mass of the steel chassis can easily break the struts in a hard crash (and can bend your axle). This happened to Marty, Dave and I. To prevent the struts from cracking, remove the rear axle and fill the little triangle gap under the bushing with Epoxy or Bond-IC. DO NOT use CA/superglue. ShoeGoo may work …. Realize that this is a preventative patch and has not been tested yet.
If you use Bond-IC you must cure it with its UV light. Epoxy needs to cure overnight. Wait until the material has cured before re-assembly otherwise you may either get some in the bushing carrier or weaken it with axle lube. Good Luck!
