well today i spent 4 hours clearing off my track and well of course it was about 45 minutes from getting dark so i break out the revo.. I told myself just one tank then you can play in the morning... wrong ... i ran the first one then raked out the track and ran another ... well needless to say i stuffed a front tire of a jump... figured you would like pics...

p.s it looks worse then it was.
taking guesses on broken parts.

You just couldn't put it away could ya? Don't worry, I probably couldn't either. :D

I'd say snapped the end off the push rod.

pushrod amazingly was straight as an arrow
 
close enough

i ripped the balls out of the steering block and cracked the u join in my driveline..

i was almost crying when i got near it i thought for sure id ruined my new arms or something the only thing that actully broke was the driveshaft. the plastic pieace that hold the pin in has a huge crack in it now...(cvds..hopefully)

yeah i was very supprised. i drove it hard and it took it all in stride...
