Default some hills, some rocks, some breakage

I barely even started on my RC course and I already broke my 1:6 on it. I dug a few holes and used the dirt to make hills. I also brought in a few of the larger rocks to get the little pile started. I was anxious to test it out and after about 15 minutes of jumping hills and climbing rocks I ended up breaking the passenger side steering knuckle on the rocks.

The breakage was just retardation on my part. I was pushing it to see if the cut tires made a difference and I pushed it too hard.

I dont know how you people break these i have had 1 and I have alot of other crawlers to but i can't break the thing it is so strong and its a gen 1 or 2 . I have pushed my crawler to taken a 15 foot drop and nothing falling time after time from 2-5ft these things are strong. and when I get hung up I dont go move it I only move it if im on the verg of falling in the water but other than that, when I am stuck i keep on truckin.
