I was out in the park running my Losi 5T, following my buddy when my car popped up in the air like it hit a land mine. Somehow in the middle of the park was a manhole cover hidden in the grass. Of course I was the lucky guy to find it. Due to my findings I now need a new:
Chassis, front bumper, front diff case, front skid plate, and phatdad brass bushings. Video and pics to follow.

Oops....Do you know how much those man hole covers cost?:lol::lol::lol:



But really,I know how you feel.I had a runaway and it costs.
Good luck with the rebuild mate and if you need a hand locating the parts ,try me.

don't even know if the aluminum skid plate would have helped on that......hard hit that sucks man......to add a silver lining the good news is while you have everything apart its a great time to get some upgrades done.......

I hear you, I stay far away from that spot. But with my driving history I always find something else to crash into.
