Anything will break if you drive it wrong enough.

I always wanted to do one of these.


This is what I broke today. (Sorry for crappy pic my phone went full retard and I had to use my 10 year old point and shoot)
We have one broken shock shaft.
One broken shock piston from a different shock.
And one shock mount screw.
I have no clue what the heck that tiny piece of metal is. It fell out of the chassis when I flipped the truck over. None of the teeth are missing on my spur and pinion.

Typhon body developed a crack around the front post from hard hashing with new truggy wheels (or maybe it became brittle from me trying to strip the paint).
I'm of the opinion that body posts should absorb some energy too, obviously not the case on the Typhon.
 
I'm not even sure how this happened. Was jumping a pile of dirt on 4s and on one of the launches I hear a clink then when it lands I just had 3wd because the dog bone flew out. Could not find the missing half of the hinge pin retainer. Total cost to replace everything $28.66 with shipping.

How do I manage this stuff? Looks like the aluminum shock cartridge caps on the Tekno shocks are worth it.

It looks like something hit the shock.

Ended up ordering a new shock kit, as my shopping cart in eBay was already at $37 in parts needed to fix it, while the entire shock kit was only $40.49.

could the mistress piece of steel be a axle pin or drive shafts?
 
Since this thread has risen again, I will contribute. Finally broke an A-arm on my Granite 4x4 BLX. Thankfully I have a Granite 4x4 Mega donor car.

The last time anyone had posted in this thread was November 2017. Then you revived it from the grave. Hence the holy thread necro batman.

I should have just changed the input gear when I noticed it worn, but someone said sent it, now it's going to cost almost 100 too fix
