Default First break!

i just wanted to let yall know that yesterday I was jumping my evader and the front shock tower cracked in half! Its my first mishap with a nitro rc car, actually with anyrc car. my first duratrax electric buggy and duratrax maximum st didnt have anything broken on em. anyways, of course im gettin it replaced but i also wanted to know what parts i should stock up on, i figured since im already needing a shock tower, y not buy stuff i might break in the future. ..

ps, for all of u who think i broke it on a nasty fall off the jump i was using.....sorry, i ran it into my dads parked car...5 seconds before i was gunna shut the engine off and take my evder in...lol

I can sell you a hand made aluminum front shock tower if you would like.

heh.. ive seemed to have broken everything BUT the front shock tower and A-arms. Ive broken the rear shock tower 7 times in a month before...
I also seem to go through front and rear wheel hubs and ball cups quite often. Duratrax's stress-tech department must have my address memorized by now.
