More damage discovered. Thankfully it was only a small bend, so my good friend Mr. hammer helped me out and got it nice and flat again
Got my new X-braces today, so the truck got rebuilt good as new, shame I cant say the same for the slipper though- toast. I have down-graded it back to 3906 spec, and its perfectly solid. Locked ofcourse, since any degree of slip as I found equals melted spurs and scorched bearings... (traxxas engineers = epic fail).
