Status: offline 		So I was out running My B44 really well, until I made a wide turn into the back drivers tire of a friends car:



Broke my front arm and my front shock tower almost snapped through and through. No worries though, I already ordered the parts. This is the excitement I've been missing. Now I have a reason to start unscrewing parts off lol!

no there is not. most people run this car on a track, not beating it in the street.

like most 4x4 buggies, you crash them hard, they will break

Got a problem.... When My tires are under load there is a loud slipping noise, but when i have the car in hand and accelerate, no problems at all. What are some places to look besides checking my slipper for tightness?

I checked the slipper and ball diff, all were fine, checked the grub screw and it was tight. However, I found that my motor pinion was not completely meshed with the other gear(can't think of it off the top of my head right now). I must have hit a nasty bump for that to happen. But it's back to normal

Recently I noticed that my front bulkhead was also broken when I had that first wreck with the Shock tower and front arm. Have a spare on hand and ready to repair as soon as I can
