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...

Those damn trees always jump'n out right in front of you. Happens to the best of us. :)
 
My first busted diff case was when a basketball size bolder at a construction sight jumped out in front of my MT...I swear it jumped out...lol
 
Chassis good just gotta replace some parts like the front end, diff case, turn buckles etc. And to u rcdad the tree didn't even say sorry.
 
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 :(
 
OH MY! I would be so pissed!!!!!!!!! You got to treat these cars like they are a real car :D I always keep that in my head when I run it.... I treat it like my 2007 Honda Civic SI :D LOL! Drive it like it's a $25,000 car :D
 
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.
