I was having a blast running my Hyper 7 and a crowd of kids and a few adults (about 25-30 people) had assembled to watch me jumping my car and racing around a large parking lot... when I misjudged my distance to a large boulder at WOT[:@].... WHACK[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]... silence.[X(].. and the crowd roared! Well at least someone enjoyed the wreck... ripped the entire front right suspension off the car, snapping the pins in 2. Shock tower bent, shock bent, even the shock spring. After looking closer the Differential case is broken, the steering posts are snapped... Just about everything in front of the steering posts is trashed, except the diff and the front left suspension. $110 in replacement parts[:'(]. My first MAJOR crash, oh well at least it was enjoyed by everyone there, it takes the edge off the repair bill.. a little... rofl (I'll just keep telling myself that)
I'll be back at it this weekend, but watching for the rocks that like to jump out in front of you[sm=idea.gif].. rofl

An unlucky angle by the sound of it. Sometimes your better off taking things head on, so it throws the buggy straight up. Also have you checked to see if the chassis twisted, a smack that done that much damage could've had the force for it.

Sorry no pics, I didn't think of it before I took the front apart to order parts. The frame looks ok yet. The suspension on that corner took most of the blow. Grr just realized I forgot to order a new front bumper...
