caveman had fun on his first day out with the mt, he crashed into a tree at almost full speed, destroyed the front end.... Poor guy, I'm just glad I got parts I can sell him cheaper then anyone and get this thing re-fixed soon...

That almost looks as bad as mine. Mine was on the other side and cracked the gearbox causing the lower a arm to pop out and the upper a arm is cracked in multiple places and even sheered that metal screw bar that holds the upper a arm together. All over a bad throttle servo :(

I drive my stuff pretty hard. After you have been in the hobby for years, you get a kind of finesse to driving. You can drive it hard, but you know when to take it easy. I've been lucky with my truck because I haven't broken anything major yet. (knock on wood) :D

When I first got mine I drove it like I stole it also but it kept trying to go back where I stole it and usually I must have stolen a bunch around trees LOL now I just drive it like a calmed down nutbag HA HA

I was at half or a little more throttle and the tree looked farther away but I was WRONG! LOL You can see most of the damage in the pic but what you don't see is I broke a lower rear arm pin too,bent the center dog bones, front diff in four spots and it was about 35-40 degrees out that day.
