Last week I managed to break my wing mount. No big deal. I ordered a HR wing mount and overnighted it from Amain hobbies. Install went well and it looks great! I was debating going with RPM as the plastic would allow some flex and absorb some shock and possibly prevent damage elsewhere. But, impulse buy, whatever it's already on there lol.
Then I started inspecting everything else and noticed my receiver antenna was smashed to smithereens (now it makes sense why I would loose signal before ~100ft) I was going to change it back to stock (previous owner installed a Traxxas TSM receiver) but the finding kinda harshed my mellow for the time being.
2 weeks ago I replaced my front gearbox case because one of the threads for the gear case broke off and the screws had nothing to grab on to. It was just chillen there. Upon my inspections today, I need to replace it AGAIN. I think i may end up just going with the HR gear case. Because why not? Lol. My Kraton has several HR part already, I may as well ask for a sponsorship! Jk.
As you can see... The head of 1 screw snapped, so I'm unable to recover it. And on the right, the gear case thread broke, exactly like before and even bent the screw. I suspect when I did my last speed run in the parking lot that the gear case damage happened. I lost signal and smacked the curb. Not too fast, but enough to inflict damage.
