What did you break today?

Shock mount bolt, I seem to break mines every other outing. Which is pretty impressive considering how much I crash.
 
Well, took the mt410 out today and proceeded to smash into my sister inlaws tire full bore. As soon as I punch it, the trucks esc switch somehow got bumped to off and I lost complete control of it. ?????? this is only the second time I've taken it out. Severly bent center drive shaft and shock rod. Side note, the mt410's center drive shaft is WAYYYYY to long

3 weeks out, finally back on the road with a new rear tower and rear standard arms (rpm arms take 1 month to arrive so I bought in-stock originals to keep going).

Also managed to remove some super stubborn wheel nuts off, I won't take any chances now and have put some washers in behind the nut.

Somehow lost some M3x20mm screws in the process so bought some replacement ones from a local tools store - 1 pound for 25 instead of 4 pounds for 10 from arrma!

I took it to a sandy BMX track and had a couple of harsh landings (nothing spectacular), cracked the wheel hex in half, driveshaft popped out, and a hairline crack on the front chassis.

I feel like doing it up again and sell it for a 6S. I'm not having much luck with this. I can't say it must be the Kraton 4S, because my friend has the same and we've bashed at the same place and he hasn't replaced a single thing.

6S more bashable out of the box? I don't do anything stupid btw.

I almost tboned my Infraction with a concrete base lightpole...almost! ??
Luckily my superb driving skills bailed me out ??
Those things seem to come right out of nowhere... ?
 
You all thought Arrma was bad with the loctite.
WL Toys is worse, I've never broken a tool on my Arrmas.

Nice one! ? I stopped posting smash reports a little while ago, but let’s just say that both the Mojave and Talion are outfitting nicely in aluminum and RPM replacement plastics with every second or third battery pack. I don’t recommend densely wooded areas for learning to drive.
 
Bah, of course I jinxed myself after my last post. Finally cracked an RPM A-arm. They have withstood a few months of abuse and it actually held together for the duration of the run. I noticed the crack when I got home. It was worth it though. I got my first double back flips.

 
I think I broke my hip :confused:
Whaaaat?
Pretty good day today, hobbled together a ghetto ramp, to test out the recent upgrades. After a full 4s pack, rebuilt diffs, all I managed to do, was rip out the two front bumper screws after cartwheeling too many times.
