Vendetta ST bashing
Ok I've broke a bunch of parts on my Vendetta ST at my last bash.
What I broke...
Left Upper arm - I'm going to get these in alloy so I hope that I'm not going to break any more.
3 Stock dogbones - I'm going to get CVD's but I don't want to break a screw in the wheel... should I worry about that or not?
Rear Toe Brace - I'm hoping that Jeajw1 can hook up me with a steel one.
Stock Diff - I'm going to get a ball diff and some trust plates because I broke one because I over tightened my rear one, should I get any spare parts for the ball diff or not?
4th Wing Mount - I don't know what to do about this because they only make the stock one how can I make that one stronger?
Stock shocks - I busted the caps off all 4 of them at least twice, I'm hoping that the alloy ones will fix this or will I just break a different part of them.
Thanks, I have about $150 to spend on parts to I need to know what I HAVE to get.
PS I should get some high quialty videos up once I get my car running when ever that is.

You can get a lot of that stuff at RCMart.com. Here's a link to the alum wing mount brace:

Go to the Micro>Anderson MB4 pages. There's a ton of stuff. I ordered from there with no problems.

Wont the alloy one just bend I'm looking for one with more flex. I'll get that one if boiling my wing mount does not work. What CVD's should I get?

So the DTX's are better I have the $$$ but I don't want to waste it. I'm not going to get a servo brace since they don't have them anywhere a ziptie is fine for me. I hope that my hobby shop can get my ball diff is or I might have to ask them to order all the parts to build one for me...

Yea I think that I'm going to do that... I don't know if I should get the CVD's or the Alloy top arms first. I only broke them when I landed on power which I don't do that often...

cvd's.. the top arms will only snap if you land really hard.. or wrong.. but you can use zipties to keep them inplace... i actually raced like that once..

RE: Vendetta ST bashing
But mine broke at the pin not in the middle or something like that. I have some parts coming from DTX so I hope that I can get it running before my vacation to NY. At least I'm going to have my Micro-T which is a lot smaller and reliable for now.
