Broke my first dogbone
Wow I ended my 7th tank with a bang. I was out having fun in the dirt and broke my first dogbone. Man my LHS does not have any in stock, they said its going to take a week! That really sucks. O well I had fun!

just so you know, you can take out another of your bones from the front and drive it 2 wheel drive till they come in.. just make sure that you keep the back two in. And just to ease your mind a bit my buddy (ndeedone) has been through about 10 tanks and has broken 5 bones.. but he doesnt drive that hard so your lucky compared to him. Later

Broke my first dogbone
I hate those cheap and cheesy dogbones... AAAAAHHHHH!!!
It's eating me out of house and home. You can ask Brewyet, my dogbones break on level ground doing absolutely nothing.
There was this one time when I was just looking at a dogbone and "Snap!", it broke, yeh, right in front of my eyes... the truck wasn't even running... I HATE these dogbones... (well, that is a little bit on the exaggerating side, but you get the picture.)
Seriously, I break 1 dogbone per 2 tanks of fuel on average, and I don't abuse my truck, you can ask Brewyet and Pyroman2000. Brewyet runs his truck alot harder than me and he hasn't broken but maybe 3 dogbones.
On top of that 1 of my gears inside of my steering servo broke. AAAHHHH!!! I hate how expensive these things are to repair. So I go to one of the LHS and pick up a $50 Metal Gear Servo (Hitec HS-645MG) and can't find the proper screw to be able to use my servo saver anywhere so far... So i decide to get a Maxx saver ($4) and use it... But... With the truck on my desk, just testing it (turning back and forth) it strips the plastic teeth on the saver right off. Smoother than a baby's bottom. Needless to say i am slightly frustrated, so i had to vent somewheres... You guys just got to be the lucky ones to receive it... AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Did I mention ... AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
