I just got this yesterday from Twicks and hadn’t even put a full battery through it and I misjudged (either the location of the 4x4 post or my driving abilities, you choose) and had a colossal crash. I don’t know what needs stock replacement and what should be upgraded. List of obvious damage:
Front brace slightly twisted
Diff case cracked in half
Receiver box cracked
Shock tower slightly bent
Dogbone very bent
End cap from the shock let go, shock seems good.
Aluminum and plastic pin components cracked and or bent.
Hot Racing steering arm seems broken
HR servo mount bent
Lower control arm cracked
Pride: bruised

Im sure other things I’m forgetting. Thoughts?

Oh wow... I mean that is a lot of damage... If I can note one thing, if you are running 6s, you'd better put the cap pack on the ESC or it may get damaged
 
Damn ya you sure did a number there😖 I'd suggest getting some M2C chassis braces and also towers, depending on the servo mount might have just bent the screws otherwise a new servo mount from HR would be a good cheaper replacement. I'd go with just a new stock gearbox as they are like $10 unless you want to go aluminum which is anywhere from ~50-$90 each. Jenny's RC will be your best go to for replacement stock parts.
 
Not gonna lie... I came here for the carnage... this is a Massacre. I had to shield my eyes... I'm sorry. Hope it's back together soon.

Don’t feel bad. Im a year in and I can barely keep mine running. I often ask myself why torture yourself with this hobby. I just can’t stop though. I honestly don’t even know why. I keep ordering those parts!

I was going to say the same thing. JRC for stock!
 
Damn, hate to see that! Hope you’re up and running soon.

Remind me when I had a Rustler vxl and hit a curb at 70. It was not good 😂
 
I have an axle for you, would you like it?
That would be awesome. Thank you!

So far, Jenny's doesn't seem to have alot in stock. Some of what's frustrating is to have an EXB (I sold a NIB V5 and added money to fund a used EXB) and some of the EXB parts are now damaged. The wall in my garage has a dent from my head.

I am leaving for vacation today. I will be back on Monday. Pm me.
