hehehe - and those poles are solid as!! -lol-

*Managed to crack the tabs totally off both steering servos, and i can see the gears of one of the servos -lol-

*Snapped the main CF chassis deck where the right steering servo is mounted.

*Snapped lower front CF chassis plate

*Ripped out threads of front bulkhead and bent most of the screws there

*Snapped front chassis connecting brace - forget what its called and cant be bothhered looking it up -lol-

*Managed to 'warp' the front diff case and lost a screw out of that too - snapped the diff retaining ring in half aswell - prolly a couple small bits here and there too - but havent really stripped it too far - having probs uploading stuff from phone to PC too - but have a couple pics on phone - sorry i didnt get more -lol-

It's all good tho - at least we know it's being put to good use and it's no shelf queen hey -lol- But considering the amount of force that went into the hit - it held up VERY well i thought :)

BTW - i have been tinkering with the idea of mounting the electrics (2230/160/24 and 18 cells) into and ofna buggy roller - will update later - going in to LHS today to see how it sits in the chassis - Boy would it be easier with lipos! -lol-

Oh, that sucks! Quite an extensive damage list there.
That's one of the reasons I prefer alu on my RCs. Most times you can bend it back as a band-aid fix, so you can bash on until you get replacements. But snapped is snapped.

Hey, you don't need to beat it up like that to proof it's not a shelfy ;)

Ten out of ten for effort man.Seems you made the front end into a crumple zone.Never heard of anyone flexing the front end enough to bend a diff case before, LST bulkheads never seem to break and they have really good bumpers so that takes some doing.apparently they make rather good battering ramms:007: .
