dude I dont know if this helps any but last weekend I had a real rough saturday and an unbelievable sunday.

Sat- broke two a-arms (within an hour of one another)
replaced the second a-arm and promptly broke a steering arm
replaced the steering arm and about 30 minutes later the clutch spring broke.
This was really depressing because I am mostly a newb and had a little anxiety over pulling the engine off. wasnt even sure if the spring was still as long as it was originally but after I got it all back together it seemed to run allright.

Sun-I bashed on the small track I dug into my side yard all day long and never broke a single part. Every time I rolled over I would cringe because I just knew that the thing would come up in pieces. Id run over to where it flipped and scan the ground for parts and damage but by the end of the day if it landed on its wheels I,d just punch the gas.

The only thing I can compare this hobby to would be shooting craps. Sometimes you roll good and sometimes you bust! Sunday was what the hobbys all about! Too much fun! I got an associated mgt while I had tax money but havent broken it in yet so I dont have anything to compare to my cyclone but will real soon. Post u later
