yep that is the neo 3 star. I took it apart and I found out that I broke the front kick plate, bulkhead, front shock tower(cracked), and I broke the chassie. Im lucky I had a extra chassie and I had the bulkhead.

lol yea I was trying to show my dad my new track with my xxx-4 and the solder broke and I didnt want to fix it so I brought the xxx-t out and I came out of a berm hard on the gas and I kept sliding until bam I hit the wall. The 1st thing my dad said was I hope you didnt chip the wall[&:] lol. Im pretty shure the wall came out the most intact.

ive tried the tape thing for a quick fix before and it ended up causing more problems. If I do break a part I usualy keep it if its repairable with some JB weld so I can have an extra one if I break it lol.
