1. I have broke a lower A-Arm (Hit a curb)


2. Cross pin of front center Dogbone came out somehow.


3. Half a dozen front dumpers, now using an Xb front bumper. (Landing on its nose and smacking curbs)


4. Two Exhaust pipes. Hit a concrete drain box head on, broke exhaust pipe in half and killed front bumper #6. WOT barrel roll on blacktop broke pipe #1.


5. Front Shock Tower and Diff Joint Cup. (7' drop onto left front wheel at WOT, cartwheeled)


Amazed at how well this Buggy is holding up considering how abusive I have been on it.

I lost the gear train twice. Lost one gear first,repaced it and then lost the whole train when the plastic gearplate melted. Repaced that with RC dad's belt drive. No problems after 8 tanks.
