Yeah.. conversations can wander.
No cars shouldn't break just toolin around on grass. Definatly not outta the box. Redcat sells a cheap Nitro RC. I imagine Quality control is not to good. I'm sorry about your bad time with the car. I try to keep a set of frt A arms,a spare clutch/shoes & spring and some small metric screws that I picked up at the local hardware store. A spare set of trans gears aren't bad to had around also. With good gear mesh and staying outta the sand they seem to hold up fairly well. Where did your A arm break? Did it break were the long pin goes through at the chassis pivot?
