    Cool I broke alot of stuff today....

    After no bashing for a while I decided to really have fun today. the end result.....
    BROKE THE FOLLOWING PARTS:
    both rear axles
    front bulk head
    skid plate
    6 a-arms (both sides front and left rear)
    tore the wing off
    bent all 4 toe links
    bent 3 push rods
    and beat the body pretty bad.

    any ideas for good replacments for these parts, it was lots of fun today now its gonna be fun buying new better things.

    Some of the damage came in a parking lot, doing jumps off of a home made ramp is a reciepe for distaster in a parking lot. I still have the stock tires on it and they are almost slick, don't know how they haven't blown out yet. Its hard to conrol when the tires don't grip anything at all. Also found out that when my erevo starts a fight with a tree the tree wins....hahaha. I'm suprised the diff survived too, but if it didn't the revo roller will be loosing that too.

    RPM a-arms
    Lunsford Ti turnbuckles/ pushrods ( though stockers are cheap on ebay = meh )
    Proline bodies, &/or reinforce the inside with some plasterboard tape/ strong duct tape etc
    FLM skidplate maybe ( not sure if they have a specific erevo one, or if the revo & erevo use the same design )

    I think Newera Racing sell Ti or aluminium skids too, might be worth looking into...
    Keeping the Mods busy is my specialty...

    well so far i've replaced some broken parts. i put on the traxxas cvd's (thanks mamba max1) and a proline wing (thanks RUSH2112RUSH) both of which i found in the market place. so now i need to get the rpm true track and front aarms and axle carriers. im trying to find the rpm parts cheap. ebay prices are the same as my local hobby shop .







    maybe if someone whould buy some of this stuff in this thread http://traxxas.com/forums/showthread...parts-for-sale i could buy some more stuff i need
