Default 1/8 scale buggy question

I took my Hyper 7 PBS out today. Everything is stock except for new pipe just bought this past Thursday. It is a Dynamite brand pipe and header. The stock on that uses the coupler kept coming apart. I bought one that does not use a coupler.

Had to put the video camera on the tripod since I have no camera man.

The wing support is all bent. Those with a buggy - how often do you either break or bend your wing? Want everyones opinion here.

It is still in one piece so I am not replacing it. But figure here real soon get a new wing support and wing for when it breaks. But for now will keep it and run it the way it is. I found a new construction site. At first had tripod sticking up from the trunk of my car then after tried setting camera up else where. Will be posting the vids on my web site in next couple of days.

Wing stays are cheap. acehardwarehobbies.com had the ones for my MP-5 for something like 9 bucks. Buy a few and keep them in the pit box.

My whole wong mount is bent just a hair. In morning I will be cleaning up the car and taking it out again.

After cleaning the car - It was an adjustment that the screw came loose while bashing. There was so much mud on it I could not find the loose screws. I was able to get it back into place and use lock tite on everything and it is good as new.
