i just got my first rc yesterday, and i already broke something! lol i bent the slipper shaft and in the process of bending it back i snapped it. it would be really nice to have some real tools, banging on a small metal opject with a hammer is very difficult when the only thing you have to hold it in place is a pair of pliers and your pansy little arms. tomorrow i will go back to my lhs and see if they have what i need, if not ill have to order online. guess ill have to postpone buying that wrench set i was drooling over today in the store. the funny thing is that im not even sure how it bent. sure i crashed a couple of times, but the truck ran fine, the only way i could tell it was bent was because the slipper was wobbling hardcore. i could have kept it bent, but who knows what that might have done in the long run. oh well i guess this is the hobby, lol

omg your so right

lol thats one of the first thing i broke on my XXX nt, well I bent it and bought a new one. I got a rock wedged between the spur gear and chassis.

im not sure how it bent, it just looked like it was wiggling so i pulled it over and looked at it and it was pretty bent up.
