So I babysat the grandkids this week and we needed something fun to do.. I broke out the Yerf Dog Spiderbox and we all terrorized the neighborhood on it! For some reason the thing doesn't know how to drive in a straight line and turns and drifts all over the place! Things were going great this week and the kids loved it but on Wed things came to a screeching halt.. Both front lower ball joints separated from the A-arms at the same time.. .. I got out the 4310 and dragged the thing back home to the barn and pulled both arms off and contemplated what to do to remedy the situation.. I poked around the web for replacements and after seeing the parts and the same chincy design I came up with something cheaper and more... robust.. I reformed the busted mounts with the vise & hammer then welded all the mounting washers onto the arms.. Then the welds were expanded to the arms themselves.. Next time we have a problem the arms or the ball joints will fail! My grandson & I put the thing back together and we proceeded to test the thing out and it performed excellently!
Now I have a job running the kids around again.. That thing is a blast!!
