RC Driving Style
My dad was crusen round the yard and hit a tree doin 5mph(small tree). It poped the front arm off the ball joints. I knew the arms were weaker than mt or buggies, but this weak?
 
So pop the ball cup back on?

I was out practicing at the local track last teusday, when I was going through a section of woops. When I lost all drive. WTF? Marshall brings my truck back to me and says, man you just lost a ball cup, causing the cvd to slip out of the outdrive. Upon further investigation, I had just broken the ball stud right off. Weird. The truck wasn't even really under power when it happened.

What I'm getting at is, if you hit just right, anything can go or break. No matter the speed.

Sorry for the confusin i thought i posted the car. Its an rc10gt. The ball end on the tie rod poped off the the ball stub on the knuckle.
 
That is the best thing ever invented, that saves broken/bent parts. It can get annoying, but I'd rather take a few seconds to fix it then go and buy more parts. Thats just me.
 
i guess the hit was directed to one particular spot causing it to pop off. I dont know but i thought it was strange
