Default Broken but still very pleased with my purchase

I had my first victim on my 2 day old lst. I was running up and down the street and tapped my control slightly but U guessed it pitched right into the curb at high speed. I really didnt think it was hard enought to take out the a-frame but i guess it did, anyone have any input on the alum a-arms or any other aftermarket parts? I have pics of my 3 legged LST but i dont know how to post them yet i tried to use the click here to upload but it says error occured...... [:@] so till i figure it out i am sure u all have seen a broken a arm.

Thanx

P.S. any help uploading would be appreciated.....

Supossably horizon will have them at the end of the month. They only show red or blue anodized. I would prefer polished. they seem expensive too.....

i know it would be so damn heavy, but i would like to see an all aluminum lst. probebly weigh like 20 lbs, but what a beast. you would have to throw an airplane engine in it to get it to do anything.

[link=http://neweramodels.com/]HERE is the link to New Era.[/link]



[link=http://imageshack.us/index3.php]HERE is a link to an image hosting site.[/link] From the main screen, you can browse your comp for pics, then they will give you a link that you can copy/paste here in the forum so that we can all see your pics.

I broke a front a-arm and replaced all my front a-arms with the new era ones - they are great.

I also broke a front drive shaft, so I bought the MIP driveshaft/axle kit - they give you both a replacement axle, and a driveshaft that is stronger.

So far thats it. I take the thing off jumps and it endos like crazy, crash it into stuff... no problem.

The other day I crashed into a big wooden picket fence. I broke the fence. Truck is fine!

I must say LST is quite durable.
