Default Moab carnage? Who had what

for some god awful reason I had one wheel nut keep tightening itself down....and locking up the wheel, the culprit, who knows....but this is what I found when I took the drivers side front knuckle off

Click the image to open in full size.
wasted bearings in the knuckle

I thought it was acting a little funny on course 3.

also broke off the body mounts

Ahhhh Werks excuses,excuses.I'm just glad I didn't break.I went to Moab praying I didn't break any links and not coming in dead last.The biggest problem was a tire that came unglued and a 5925 taking a crap on me.

my "Grounder" rocked for me, 100% capable and not a single thing broke, can't say the same for the driver.

I only broke my front 945mg servo case on course #3 in the Super Class. Jason even got a pic of it happening. I'm surprised it didn't break the Clod axle tube too.

I managed to break a one-off prototype axle shaft on the FIRST GATE of my FIRST COURSE about 38 seconds into my run. Done for the weekend...

Didnt think they'd break, but I've got nice hardened steel ones now- should be good to go...

Not counting the hangover...

I bent a Hangar9 aluminum servo arm descending course #3.

Didn't notice it until it was my turn on course #1...and had virtually no front steering on course #1.

Man, you guys need to learn how to build dependable rigs! HAHAHA

J/K

Luckily, I didn't break anything. Running last, I had the opportunity to watch everyone else break, so I knew the situations to avoid.... backed into the hot tub to save my ESC, backed down other descents, stayed to the left on the descent that broke BENDER's servo....

So to everyone that broke, Thank You!

I broke my inner axle on stage three, but drove in three wheel motion on stage one for grins and had a blast with it.
