First carnage - 07.06.2010, 06:43 PM

I was driving on some soccer fields, getting it up to full throttle for some speed runs across the field. The grass is very dry and dusty - poor traction. So I was about to finish up, but did a couple more runs, the last of which, I thought I had everything under control, but drifted a little at high speed - into the soccer goal post.

I was expecting major damage as I saw one wheel + other parts flying in one direction and the rest of it in another. So I was happy to see it was mainly the plastic arms that broke and a bent driveshaft:



Then I got home and saw the right rear driveshaft



Those arms are bent and need replaced too. Luckily I have a box of extra arms and other parts - I'll have this back together to take it out tomorrow.
