    abs repair/ receiver pack

    I have a cambell shovel nose that just hit the shore (rock) and it has a huge hole
    (3"x .5") any ideas on how to repair this? I am good at repairing glass hulls but never repaired abs before. I could just buy a new hull but am low on cash and next race is 3 weeks away. any help appreciated thanks.

    has anybody have a receiver pack just fail, like the cell end coming off? this is an hpi 1200mah pack, the cause of the above crash

        LOL,Yeah, that happened when I was tuning my Titan 29 for the 1/6th mile oval we are running on now. I think that pic is on the second bounce. :rolleyes:
        I've got her dialed in for those long straights now.

              think I would go down to the local hardware store and; buy a cheap yard sign(for sale), and a can of 'abs pipe cement'. cut and glue a piece of sign over the hole(preferably from the inside) then use the pipe cement like 'bondo' (use thin coats)till I got a nice smooth patch. paint as needed. hth

                    Not a problem I kinda like when things go off track sometimes, some one always posts an interesting idea or something!
