i'm running a blade 1993 model and have just completely destroyed the front uj and snaped the eyes off the end of the prop. Lucky I was setting off from traffic lights so didnt do much other damage went with a bang though. Has anybody had similar problems?

its only done 37 miles since we got back from stoneleigh so dont like to think where it could have gone a little more damage to be done at 100mph on the motorway

Have you been greasing th UJ on a regular basis. A lad on the yahoo list who races a BEC had the same problem and when he stripped what was left he said it was as dry as snuff as if all the grease had been washed away! BTW Jon is right, you're an idiot

Twas a sealed unit so it was but yes it was bone dry think the heat must have melted the grease and whats this idiot poo im steady away me
