today i just recieved my first nitro rc car in the mail and was tearing it up jumping and wut not. later that night i was cleaning it and inspecting and the front right and rear right dogbones are bent. the one on the rear was bad so i bent it back with my bench vise and the front has a slight warp to it. would it be alrite to run my car in that condition the next day while i order more. i dought my LHS carrys them because there redcat rear dogbone

i would just order them there but shippings more then the piece

o ya and while I'm ordering that i would like to stock up on other things that break often to avoid future downtime. any suggestions on what else is known for breaking because I'm new to rc

That is a tough break man. I would personally try to order some but then again, if they could be straightened.....the worst that could happen is the vibration from being out of balance could shake the rest of the car apart. Wait that does not sound good does it...sorry. There are a few sites out there that have the parts. If I am correct (maybe) Redcat, Himoto, HiSpeed and Exceed are all the same thing just rebadged. That may help you finding parts. If you get them fairly straight...hold it off the ground and watch that side...gradually increase RPM and see how much vibration/shaking there is. If you think it is not too bad I personally would try it. But that is me. No warranties, given, stated or implied. Keep checking screw tightness on the whole ride after you run to make sure stuff is not falling out. But look into getting some new ones.
 
no they wernt shipped like that. i crashed a few times

Where are you located? That's weird to have shipping like that. It may be overseas depending where you are. I found this at a price lower but not sure if it'll be higher for you.

anyway i just ordered them off redcats website. it was high shipping 8 dollars but i ordered 4 sets of them for future problems so with a quantity of that its good price
