Default FIRST BROKEN PART FOR ME!

Just thought i would share i had my first official broken part to day on my AX-10...... ripped one of the steering knuckles to pieces! LOL I guess the HITEC HS-5955TG does have quite a bit of tourqe. But i was actully suprised the knuckles lasted this long. Aluminum axle C's and Steering Knuckles from TCScrawlers.com on the way[>:]

Let me guess, it broke at the second mounting point for the ball ends on the end of the knuckle?

To late now, but if you put a nut and bolt in the hole, it helps to prevent them from breaking at that point.
