Had a runaway with the 5ive b. Body pretty much wrecked, bent both center shafts, chassis bent, and messed up steering. Zip tie broke, ks wire got chewed up a bit in the spur.
Carnage 😕

don't bother straightening it. my current chassis on the baja has been bent before and straightened, and it is never the same and a pain in the ass to put together. just get a new chassis

Need to reroute that cable Junkie so it can never be cut if fixings come away.
On my truck it goes under the engine and round the back of the electrical box, that way its not near anything sharp or spinning

Any pics of the damage and of what you hit?This is my chance to make the 5ive b really nice
Also if kill switch wire was cut by the spur/pinion how come you ended up with a runaway? What caused the runaway to start with?

ok so i don't really wanna bother Mike anymore so ill ask here, does rcmax do an anodizing service through detroit performance? I would wanna get it anodized black with green and blue splash. How much does it cost if they do.
They do I think its like $120 I believe for like 2 colors maybe less if your doing chassie only. When I did my wheels black only one color I paid $35
