Took my Firehammer MT for a spin today and about 10 minutes into it the front left wheel went cockeyed and wobbly. Drove it in and I saw the lower suspension arm was not connected to the steering knuckle. Turns out, the nut embedded into the steering kuckle was completely ripped out leaving a nice ragged hole in the plastic. I am making a Tower order now to get a replacement and will send the part in to Duratrax.
What could have caused this? I was running on the grass fields behind a local school. I flipped it in a corner at medium speed and it tumbled sideways twice and then landed on its feet. Has this ever happened to you?
How often do you strip out steering knuckles. Should I be stocking spares on this?
