I broke a front shock tower and rear wishbone by landing short on a massive triple running a 4.5t on a nitro track. Also broke a front shock shaft a last year sometime, thats my lot from the 501x in the 20 odd months running the 501x.

I think im not trying hard enough :D

I've done two xxx4 chassis, one plastic the other graphite, and lots of other little bits and pieces.

and only 1 wishbone on my xxx -cr

my stepson has done around 10 front shock towers on his xx4we and 4 of them was with the carbon brace fitted.


and all that since we started racing in march last year

Tonights injuries, 1 front wishbone and a rear T piece.

I must add, 3wheel races are the future!

didnt a few of the guys at wbmcc break the front wheel area of their cars tonight lol?

maybe they are trying to cut costs and turned the heating down, leaving the plastics brittle :P.

stripped a spur gear just before christmas, dont think it likes the influence of the estes rockets strapped to the trailer........... or was it just that the trailer made a good target for other people
