How many hours of use did you get out of it before you broke it?

It was more or less my fault, I'd say I had 6-10hrs on it. I was jumping out of a 2ft deep hole i was bashing around in and hit one of my front tires on the trunk of a nice oak tree! also had this as a result of the crash-

hah I guess technically yes! I have my work bench top covered in carpet to keep screw from rolling of and on to the floor! I also have a rig stand built on to the bench that holds 2 of my rigs and makes for easy access while working on the axles and such!

Ouch looks like somebody needs to make some bumper stuff that has a little more flex to it, that type of damage is becoming more common...lol.

might have to fab up some sort of bumper out of short shocks!

cant say its any failure on the rig having weak points (I've already got those covered!). I have really beat the crap out of this thing from jumps, trees, rolls, and full speed "crawling" its had a few rough miles on it and really I'm surprised the chassis/ cage is still in the great shape its in. Axial has a pretty good plastic compound for it, but where it broke was right on a screw hole and only held on by that part!

well had it running for a little bit! Put STRC alum links in the rear as well when I got the servo fixed up!
then roughly another hour of run time this happened!


sent the ball bearings from the idler gear through the tranny luckily I caught it before they caused any real damage other than a grove in my trans case.

Holy Crap!!!! That's the most things I have seen broken in a while!!

It really sucks! I've got new bearings ordered, and as soon as I get one thing fixed another blows to bits! but like I said I truely do beat the crap out of this rig and I'm really surprised the chassis/ frame hasnt broken yet, other than the bumper.

new bearings and some stuff just waiting on the 32P gears to show up!
