Broke a front arm, snapped the clipless body mount system in half, broke a side trim piece and busted the body up pretty good. Taped the arm with some electrical tape and taped the side trim so it’s still driveable until my new parts come in.
Got the new clipless body mount system installed, still need the side trim and arm to get it back 100%

A lot of destruction today, eh? ☹️😲

It’s been awhile since I’ve got to drive any RCs! Lol. I’m from NY and I don’t run my rigs in the snow/winter. Currently in Virginia for work and I decided to bring the Rally with me, finally had a decent day to run it and I got to confident to quick🤣 🤦‍♂️
 
My Rally is the older version with clips for the body, and no side trim pieces, just nerf bars.

I've never seen an arm break on just one side like that though... very creative! :hehe:
It’s a fun rig! Would love to see it on my off-road track back home. I purchased the clipless body support piece but forgot about the side trim piece so that’s on the way and I can do away with the taped parts.

The arm split in that one spot exactly where the bottom of the shock screws into so I had to bring the shocks in one hole to keep running it for now. I actually prefer the shocks mounted where they are now, keep the front end of the body from dragging on the ground during cornering or braking

True that! Was pretty bummed, no hobby store near me sells parts for the Rally so I had to order everything. Had to do something so I could run it over the weekend!

Tape and JB Weld... always keep some on hand. :thumbs-up: :cool:
