This is what happens when you misjudge the distance of a curb at top speed! [&o]

bro that aint to bad, i would have kept driving it.

I did something similar to that. Except I forgot to put my antennae out. And went out of control and went flying at a high speed and smacked into the curb head on. At least my body shell didn't get messed up because I had it off for tuning adjustments. The front part of my chasis is bent up at a 45 degree angle. Here's some of the vital parts that I needed on the part list I just got done ording.

front bumper
chasis
dogbones for left wheel arm and front shaft
arm support pad
front differential casing
steering set A or servo saver whatever it is
and the upperdeck piece

so much for my first time with a nitro. And still a half a tank to run for the first fill. Then again I was originally going to run it in the mountains rather than my work. Glad I didn't. Zipp it full speed off a steep cliff and see a minature mushroom cloud.

Question...........


Took a closer look at the car today after I was having trouble going straight. The glue on my rear tire is gone and the wheel is slipping causing the nascar like action..

What is a good glue to use to fix this?

Any type of prep for the wheel first?

On my XP both tires came off the rim. I find that orion glue works best[8D]

medium ca works best, not to thin so wont run all over the place
