The broken parts thread

[mk-Zero]

Here's a couple from my last time at the track with my b44:

Hard to see, but my front shock tower was cracked in at least two places.


And a front arm. Broke when someone hit my car, but was probably already cracked

Talking about letting kids play with your rc. My stepson's cousin was down and they wanted to run the cars. I have quite a few and so I let them run my jacked up rustler while I was at work. I came home to a three wheel rustler with an exploded caster block and busted servo saver. Later that night the whole family met for dinner at our favorite pizza joint. I couldn't resist the opportunity for a good laugh so I came up behind my nephew and put my hand on his shoulder and with stone cold glare asked him if he wanted to tell me something. Poor kid looked as if he had seen a ghost. with a stutter he explained how he was just driving and the wheel came off. I couldn't keep up the charade any longer as his dad seemed a little concerned, I eased his concerns and told him I was just having some fun and it was a cheap fix. I asked him what really happened and when he realized I wasn't mad at all he confessed that at full speed he clipped the wheel of a parked car. I had to reassure his dad everything was ok and I just wanted to know how it happened and that my motto is drive it till it breaks. In the end it only cost around 12 bucks to fix and it was back to bashing. My zx-5 fs on the other hand only gets driven by me and my stepson.

More b44 carnage for me.
From last week:


Tired of replacing arms, I bought a set of RPM front arms. I guess then I found the next weak link...

From this week:


Snapped right off!
