|  Broken already
I went to pick my little crawler up from on top of the dresser, bobbled it and dropped it about 2 feet onto carpet and it broke. The rear lower control arm mount just cracked right off. I hope I can get a replacement part reasonably quickly. I guess for now I'll just glue it and hope for the best. I guess the moral of the story is keep your crawlers out of my bumbling hands. Steve |

I guess you must just have bad luck. My micro's fallen off my 3foot desk a countless amount times without a problem.

Good thing with these little guys, superglue will probably hold up for quite a while until you can get a replacement. Even for a crawler, there's not a ton of stress on the parts since they're small.

....well considering their scale, two feet's a LONG ways, haha. A little gorilla glue and it'll be fine probably for good.

These are quite sturdy for their size. Mine took a 3 meter tumble down a rock and then a meter drop on to concrete and came out alive. I was lucky it landed on all fours.

dudedudedudedude!!!! thats a EZ fix!!! go to hobby lobby, pick up some plastic cement for model cars (model kraft section) and its 2.99 where im at, and just cement it! it bonds real well! but it takes about 2-3 days before it "fully bonds" and becomes strong....  |

Glue seems to be working so far and I have the part on order. I just checked out 1/24 model kits at the LHS. Since when do they cost over $25. I guess it's been a while since I bought one. Maybe it's a Canadian thing? |

I say get some 5 min. epoxy and you'll be up and running in 5. depending on how well of a job you do it may be somewhat of a permanent fix. The stuff is strong. I would probally bet if you dropped it again the other side would break just as fast as the repaired side with expoxy holding it.
