I sold my buggy to my friend after taking him out and giving him some tips.
So, for about a week he was learning and telling me everyday how fun it was. Till one day he calls me and say’s he broke it. I figure it’s no big deal; I went WOT in to a curb one time and only broke a lower arm. Well to my surprise he did I good job of screwing it up. It’s enough to turn my stomach. I don’t know if this will be a repair or a resurrection.

Broken fuel tank, servo tray, radio box, center diff housing, front center dog bone, steering servo, both tie rod’s and tweaked the chassis
 
We have the technology... We can rebuild him. :jk:

If I can find enough parts on Ebay for less then $100.00 I might give it a shot
 
You can pick one of these up cheap on ebay,then you can use the trashed one for parts...........
 
Ouch.. He did it good. I'm kinda clueless on buddies but how fast do they go? He gets a gold star for that wreck though... Ouch
 
What he ran it off a 5 story building into a curb ?? LOL We have the technology does he have the $$$$$
 
How the hell did he do that???

Oh eh what's 'Belgium' got to do with this?
 
Belgium blocks are a certain type of building block.

Yep, start over. Buy parts car off E-Bay. Pick up Failsafe!!! Also, check engine for bearing or crank damage. I noticed the spur was hard against the CB. Could have pushed too hard against the engine.
 
I can see it now, an R/C wooden Viking sailboat with the third channel attached to a Bic lighter right next to a little bit of gas. Make sure you bury/burn it with it's favorite fur skins and battle helmet.
 
Looks like he dropped a belgium wall on top of it!!! I also think buy another one and use what you can off the demolition derby car LMAO!
 
i would buy it from him if he wants to sell.. i like getting cheep brocken rides and fixing them up.. thats what i did with my ofna ultra gt.. see how much he wants for it..
 
I did the same with my Maxx, bought it with broken servos and no tires and a couple other small fixes, picked it up for 100 bucks on ebay. I was doing that with electric Rustlers for a while I think I sold 3 or 4 buying them cheap then fixing the up and making a profit, Thats also how I got the cash for the Maxx I built up a sweet rs4 and sold it for a good profit :)

I'll let you know by the weekend. The motor could use a rebuild, but it's still strong and hold's a tune fairly well. The only thing that sucks is I paid $65.00 for the shocks 2 months ago. O well
