WOW!! That must have been quite the crash to see. I had my run away a few months back and it was bad and did bend the frame a little, but this one is bent in half!! I give credit for my survival to the alloy radio tray I bought from hellya a while back... The chassis bowed just behing the rear tray mounts, under the fuel tank. It looks this one bent under the radio tray, so maybe think about an alloy one as a replacement. Seems just like a real car.... once the frame has been bent it is totaled. Good luck in the salvage!!

Why would your truck do something like this to itself, you must not have been treating it right and it tried to end it all!!
That sucks,[:@] did your alloy parts make it worse or did they help, or if you had plastic parts do you think they might have helped to distribute the force?

What radio system are you running?
Any return springs on throttle or a failsafe?
I hope to never see that, it would end my R/C fun.

WOW that looks just like the one I just fixed for a buddy. It cost him 350.00 in parts plus my time. He hit a parked car in lambeau field parking lot with his FG MT. It took some cursing to straighten the chassis but it went pretty well. I ordered him another chassis for back up though. Good luck shopping

Yup, I feel so sorry for Carl!! I bought his other 3 FG's. I would have bought this one too.. before he stated sellin' the parts.
He still has his Baja and his Competition on-road though!
