I ran for a few hours on the track yesterday. Ended up on my lid a couple of time, but nothing really bad.

Nevertheless, I managed to snap the rear shock tower.

I also snapped another front CV. Losi clearly has a design problem with these since they are snapping left and right and are out of stock on replacements everywhere. This is the second one I have snapped. Pic below is of the first one, but the second one looks the same.

Other items I didn't break but lost are an enclosed wheel nut that spun off because I neglected to tighten them all down during a tire change and the aluminum standoff that secures my Bartolone pipe when the bolt backed out.

Broken or lost, the end result is the same. $$$$$$$$
 
Holy mother of jeebus! That shock tower looks like a clean shear off, thats crazy for the thickness of that to shear off.

AWESOME carnage :D
 
You've got pictures of it so it did happen. Great carnage pics.
 
No evidence of a strike to the shock either. It's almost like it broke off due to the shock reaching full compression.
