I lost the pin the holds my hex on then somehow the nut came un-done and wham, out of the game, but I must say this rig can do work!
Thanks

The damages include:
3 Broken lower link rod ends, 1 broken 3 link rod end, and the link brackets completely tweaked, so now my rig is KIA for awhile....
Thanks :D

Ya it blew my mind.... My old scx10 was so much tuffer than this

Cool spot.

That's alot of leverage on those link brackets. Can you run the links without the spacer at the chassis end? Too bad they are'nt double shear.:cry:

I want to rig it up without those brackets, maybe 3link & lowers right onto the chassis, but with metal rod ends

I hear ya on that man ! I sold my trail finder to a friend for cheap simply because I never had anyone to run rc with....long story short, I bought an Axial RTR and slowly began to upgrade. My Axial is sooo much more tough for "bashing" it is unbelievable. I've upgraded everything but kept stock plastic links and my truck is near bulletproof. I could never say this about the Trail Finder. Both are very different and amazing. Neither is better than the other all in all, but my Axial sure takes more of a beating than my Trail Finder ever did.
