Default RE: *Official Sportwerks Turmoil Thread*

I bought mine an jan of this year (rtr), I have 10 gal on my roller (changed engine at 5 gal to a CEO powermods RB S7) I have raced the buggy every weekend but maybe 2 since I have bought it (raced indoors at www.crcrc.com) and now i am racing all over ohio and in w.v.

here are the things I have broken or swaped since the first tank of fuel

servo's
pro engine mount
5mm front shock tower
Dynamite 007 pipe, then switched to a JP-3
Futaba 3pm 2.4ghz Tx and rx
alum clutch shoes and 1.1 springs
Proline High down force wing
New body
tires
running med firm grey springs on both ends
5000wt oil in front diff
7000wt oil in center outdoors 10k indoors
1000wt in rear

I have broken 2 front upper and lower arms
one pillow ball stud
and 2 Rear Aluminum Inner Suspension Mounts (cast alum crap)
every thing else is stone stock as it came out of the box, down to the wheel bearing.

the cvds are about due for replacement and the rear trailing edge of the chassis is getting pretty wore
We now have 2 turmoil rtr's (wife races too) and another on the way just to have laying around (hard to pass up a 2 week old roller for a 100 bucks)
it has been a good buggy, but I am looking for another brand to try out (matrix fte pro is looking good)

anyway here is a pic of my turmoil at about 1 gal of fuel and at about 9 gal of fuel
