If you pick "I don't break anything" ... you're not bashing hard enough.

Landing off-center can be a PITA. If one corner of the truck takes the full brunt of the hit, something usually snaps or bends.

I guess it could have also been the fact that just about everything it the tranny was over 8 gallons old. I had a streak of breaking different small parts in it, but it's since gone. Really, that's all I've really broken that hasn't been my fault.

Where I race bash, the track is surrounded by olt tires. Man, you'd think they were concrete! If I hit them head on I climb over, but sliding sideways or hitting at an angle is great way to snap an arm or turnbuckle.

I voted that I don't break anything much. Oops, must mean I'm not bashing hard enough. I bet stuff will start breaking once I start jumping during practice when I get over to the track.

my vote is wide open throttle without a fail safe and meeting a steel dumpster at top speed that was a very expensive lesson for me but i did buy a fail safe when i put it back together

What seems to happen most of the time is it'll crash hard, and i think "crap, wonder what i broke?" and nothing happens, and alls well. Then something little and stupid will happen and SNAP. figures i don't break anything when i hit hard, it just weakens it so when i think I'm fine, it breaks.

For me it has to be running into something, usually mailboxes.... Second would be cartwheels.
It brings to mind a quote from somewhere: Brakes? This thing has brakes? I was just using mailboxes! and the warning on the nitro bottle: Warning: ingesting nitro fuel may cause blindness- is that why my truck keeps running into things? My mailbox has dings all over the post from many hits...[X(]

my option isnt there. Way back when I had my modified stampede I race my moms suburban. Needless to say I was ahead lost traction around 30mph spun around and got run over. After I fixed it I ran head on 30mph into a mail box, that required a full front rebuild. I sold it and bought a nitro 4x4. Now I dont have anything!

Wow!!! Most of you break stuff while driving into things.
There are some horrible drivers in here.
