Crash Bang Wallop.

Thats over 20% of the cost new.....ouch :2guns: If it were a 1/1 car they would be thinking of writing it off :no:

yea its now a cat, A write off, think the carbon chassis are a good idea for the baja but at £300 not cheap. i bent the front of mine but it was bent up so just got the mole grips on it and bent it back, think voo,s is bent to the side,

 

[charlieboy]

Not sure I would either but if its worked ok for you up to now it should be ok. Just check it works properly at the start of every bash to be on the safe side.

don't worry andy i will be doin i defo can't afford another £200 rebuild like i had last time

thats why mine needed a new chassis when mine did one, it was bent up and to the side, it bent back but drove funny so binned it and got a new chassis

i binned it bud, i used a press at work cause the leo chassis are straight so couldn't really go wrong but it still drove strange!

Understood.
Ask Pablo and Pete about the first time I met them - and our first encounter with blasted 711!!
My truck endo-ed big time, but gave me the 'perfect opportunity' to upgrade the cheapo servo saver - into BB alloy one - and change the crappy plastic geared servo for a Rhino - didn't stop there (it's dual Rhinoed and has hydraulic fronts now!!).
This 'hobby' is expensive - if you let it, as we all do!
Voo, just rebuild it and give it another 750 blasts as you normally do - you know you want to!!

 

[dwarfy]

He will bounce back soon Im sure. I can hear them spanners working away from our house

[dwarfy]

I know jacko was laughing but the car was virtually new!,It only had half a tank through it and when you spend £30.00 on fook all it tends to rub salt into the wounds.
