• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Wheels falling off?

The axle nut and locking clip are almost exactly the same as what is used to hold on the wheels of fighter jets. I worked on them for years. About the only difference is they have a cap over everything.

Not sure what aircraft you're talking about but you won't find that Micky Mouse red clip design on anything but a Can Am. The retaining clip is an absolute joke - put a stainless steel pin though the axle /nut. The Goofy clip is not secure for even a push toy!

Why did you make a post earlier asking people about the Ryker pretending to be interested in purchasing one? Sounds like you already have an opinion on them.

It was not me who said that - in fact I'm heading down to Atlanta to go ride one!

the way how BRP fix the wheels on the Rykers is the same like on DUCATI or KTM motorcycles .. never heard that there is a problem if the wheels are installed in the "right" way ..

Not only an RC pilot but a pilot who designed the first Military front line surveillance drones with 26 ft rotor spans. I've been in this aviation thing for 40+ years now!

Mike, You are a legend. Started flying R/C models in the 80's and flew a Hirobo Shuttle back then. I remember all the contests you won back in the day. Today mostly fly 60 size heli's and quad copters. Did not know you were a Ham as well (KA2PFL). Was also into ATV back in the 80's too but only used in on R/C vehicles.

Seems lots of folks form opinions about the Ryker without even test riding one. Opinions are like, well, you know, everyone has one.
 
I have 2021 Ryker rally 900 that is 2 months old. My front wheel went flying off at low speed. I could have been seriously hurt. There was surveillance footage of the wheel coming off. I posted the video on youtube. The wheels are held together just by a knob and a thin pin.

Could you post a link to this Youtube video?

I just looked at YouTube for the past weeks new videos. I didn't see anything about a wheel flying off.

Me too....I found nothing.:sour:

Could be the video was posted any time in the last couple of months... Did either of you search back that far?? :dontknow:
 
Video shown in post #117 shows a date in the header of 9/3/21. The date shown in the actual video is not totally visible to me except for the 09....

Watch real close, it does show 09-02-2021. The 02-2021 is a real quick flash. So SamH1, we all will be interested in what the problem was, so please let us know...WE don't want to start assuming yet. We been through all that before.
 
Inquiring minds want to know. If the wheel falling off was a truly random event then how did some person just happen to be standing there videoing the Ryker just as it happened. The shaking of the camera tells you that it was not a security cam.
