Raider Raider Crashed and Rebuilt

[CT Yankee]

Last Saturday night's parking lot session with my friend ended abruptly for my Raider XL BLX when I was unable to brake in time to avoid a 52 mph crash into a curb. Unfortunately the curbs in the lot we were in are 90 degree angles and not curved. The T-Bone Racing front bumper held up to the impact, but the energy was passed through the entire front end. A $58 order of parts from Tower Hobbies got me back up and running.....well I will be when the back ordered turnbuckles arrive for the steering.

Well, that sure looks like a lot of damage. I'm glad you were able to repair it as inexpensively as that. Great pictures too.

When I picked it up, I thought it was going to cost a lot more to repair.
