I was going full speed and I couldn't see where I was going and crashed full speed into a curb. The rpm arms held up though The battery on the other hand, got destroyed.

Looks like Rusty wants to switch over to lipo. Rusty doesn't like no nimhs.

Looks like you tossed it off a three story building.

Lmao

That was the first time I have tried it with a NiMH battery too lol
Here is the final total for replacement parts besides a servo:

I had just taken my Sl4sh out for a run and it right away spun out of control and hit a railing perfectly to hit the shock. The shock rod broke but fortunately was able to fix it that day. First time filling a shock, and soon I’ll be replacing the pinion, too.

I snapped a 3mm tap off in a STRC rear bumper mount the other day, for my SCX10ii. I was drilling and tapping the mount for a sway bar bracket and snap! It’s done, I ordered another one.

You can dig them out. It just takes some tedious chiseling and punching.

I bought a new traxxas aluminum castor block. I broke a bit boring it out. Never ran. I feel your pain.

I tried a small extractor but the drill side wouldn’t touch the tap. I think it’s hardened tool steel or something. Anyway, that was $14 wasted.

Is that a smt mount or something? Looks like the sway bar set on my f450.

I broke out my favorite guitar and played it, does that count?

I broke my wallet.

The swaybar mount is for a scx10.3, I got it on Ebay. It’s made for a reef’s swaybar but i modified it to fit my project. I broke that, too, lol. I reached out to the guy and he is making another one with dimensions that will just bolt in.

Took the slash out in the rain. Wonder why my rear wheel was wobbling. Bearing exploded. The metal rings are seized into the hub. It was a rpm hub as well. Replaced with OEM one I had in spare parts bag and new bearings. Greased up the axle splines as well.

Oh did I ever post this one? 2nd time at RC Underground. The old carpet track. Wasn't paying attention and ran into the pole in the middle.

A flat head used as a pry bar, needle nose pliers and needle nose cutters. The cutters can crab the metal.
