Rupes MkII backing plate explosion
Just sheared off the center of the backing plate on my Rupes. Thankfully no vehicles or humans were injured.

Thats insane, curious to know the specefics around this like speed,pressure,pad,how tight was the bolt etc. Regardless this should never have happened. Await response from Dylan.

We run on speed 3-4 90% of the time with the occasional 5-6. Pads are buff n shine maroon. Bolt used to back out every time we used it when we first got it. Then we tightened it really tight with blue threadlock and haven't had any issues since.

That would have been one scary experience. You are fortunate there was no damage or injuries.
