Please can I have some advice on a cracked diff case?

[Fishguy697754]

I drove my wltoys 144001 off a skate ramp at my local skate park and the shock tower hit the railing at the back of the ramp and cracked the diff casing. Is there a specific glue I could use or do I have to replace the whole diff case?(it is the front differential). Thanks in advance!

you can glue it I've used rapid fix b4 on plastics but best to replace
Rapid Fix High Strength Dual Adhesive - Ace Hardware
its a ca glue with a granular additive less is more take your time 4 repair

Granular additive... I wonder if it's baking soda. I have never tried baking soda, but I have seen a lot of people say that and CA works. I always just replace the part myself.

Don't Bash at SkateParks unless you have money and able to source parts easily.

OR

Buy another one for parts.

I learned a few things real quick about bashers.

It's going to break.

It's very cheap to keep spare a-arms and spindles around before they break if you go the Amazon or ebay route for those.

Avoid any aluminum suspension parts,that plastic flexes for a reason.

Don't buy any overpriced Traxxas junk, RCs or parts. I'll buy that crap if it's cheap tho.

That being said, I don't see the fun In going to the skate park unless there's no other place to go,I tried it. I'm lucky to find almost any surface here from gravel pits to empty industrial park roads. At the park all I saw were people jumping their RCs until they destroy something. I get it, that poop is fun,I do it too but nobody should be complaining about their breakages from skate park shenanigans.
I built my felony into a 8s xmaxx powered 60+mph dirt basher and it gets broken because I beat the hell out of it. I keep a few spare parts around for this one .

I like running my 1/16 and 1/18 scale buggies at my 2 local skate parks you can get a good rhythm from jump to jump.theres a old abounded offroad race track also have to bash at but hate the long cleanup after due to the sand area.. there's a few old Nike bases around me also really hilly with 4 foot hills just gotta know where the pits are..lol

My repair would be to stitch it with a solder tip then some plastic repair epoxy with a piece on mesh in it.

JB weld for plastic, available at any automotive store, smells like crap but works like a champ
