Whoops :(

[Marine Iguana]

You know when you feel like having a little bash around and it all goes pear shaped

That's a big fookin oops mate...

Those alloy arms must be tough....snapped 3 steel turnbuckles instead!!

 

[Marine Iguana]

Yeah i saw the wheel fall and thought great those little plastic ball joints have gone again that's alright i have spares, get there and its snapped those especially the steering one and that's after a massive one i had on Sunday where the spark plug got snapped off and left the rest in the engine

 

[sperera]

holy fark, how did you manage to snap the alloy bits and leave the plastic bits in place! that must have been some off!

is that a FG Baja ur running?

 

[Marine Iguana]

FG Baja i wish FG Leopard

It was only a glancing blow with a solid object now just need to find out what the hell the part numbers are

Not much plastic there bud....it's all alloy.

Hell yeah alloy

i might have to give it a little strip down and clean as it has a load of gunk and rubbish in the chassis that and i want it clean, look's so worn out and old in its current state

 

[Marine Iguana]

Now i don't know about you guy's but does this look bent

I thought it was to good to be true that i didn't break anything hopefully i can heat it up a bit and straighten it up.

Thought the front left looked odd but couldn't put my finger on it now i have stripped it i see

 

[rhales]

wasnt your day dude..

 

[Sharkey]

that control arm support might be an issue. warm it gently and try to twist it back into shape and let it cool naturally. it will be weaker though, once its bent and straightened it becomes soft. as for the control arms, as long as they arent bent shouldnt be a big deal to get the remains of the turnbuckle out.

 

[Marine Iguana]

Oh well just gives me an excuse to strip it and clean it i know it needs it, pure filth this motor is

That is the only damage i have so will get around to ordering a new one at somepoint.

 

[atom3624]

... and no vids of the happening? .... DAMN
Get her cleaned, repaired and ripping again ... that's what they're for!

 

[voo2doo]

Hey believe it or not,thats not that bad.If you had seen the thing I bought off ebay you would have classed it as a write off! I managed to straighten it up and doubled my money on it.
