From the parts bin you were created,
to the parts bin you shall return.
Hexes to hexes,
and dust to dust.

Ouch! Sorry mate! It happens to the best of us!

Thanks, yeah it sucks. I cant believe someone built a building right in my path!
Maybe I'll feel better after a walk...

I can't recall.. Did you create that chassis yourself?

 

[sumguy75]

Not custom, its a Fast Lane Machine extended chassis with predrilled holes for reversing the transmission/motor position.

 

[sumguy75]

Thing i cant believe is i didnt have a suspension arm break and no bent hinge pins, but every screw in the bulkhead, chassis, upper chassis and shock tower were bent...

Less Alum = Better IMO

 

[sumguy75]

Im pro aluminum with some RPM mixed in. I rarely bend anything, i used to snap plastic stuff all the time.

 

[fozzy71]

The plastic Bandit Chassis is about $10, or a Slash LCG is about $25.... just saying....

I want a mid-engine bandit/rustler but not for that price....

 

[sumguy75]

My experiences with plastic chassis isnt good. I broke 3 Traxxas chassis in my first 6 months of rc and i was running brushed for 3 of those months, lol.
Ive bent 2 FLM aluminum chassis in the 18 months since then and run mostly 4s so they take a lot more abuse.
