OK...., well i was out driving my revo, it was the second day i had it, in a field by my house, and my brother came with me, i let him drive it around and i told him if you get near something hit the breaks, he was doing find for 5 mins, i turn aroound to get my temp gun, turn back around just in time to see him slam into a boulder sitting out in the middle of the field....[:@]

so heres what broke

axle carrier
top a arm
bent toe link
my bottom piviot ball popped out of the socket

how do i go about fixing, this stuff, removing the a arm and toe link, and how do i get the piviot ball back into the socket, also how much do you think it will cost to get all of the replacement parts

hxtour ben

it wont cost theat much, probably only 15-25 dollars. look at the manual that came with the revo that disects the entire truck and find the part numbers of the parts that you broke. Then go to towerhobbies.com and type in the part numbers in the search bar at the top. My little sister broke my revo, so I know how you feel!

Haha, I know how you feel. I got my Maxx and the tranny screwed up. Like 4 months later i finally got it back from traxxas and the day i got it back i was rippin it out in font of my house. Well I made the mistake of letting my bestfriend try it. Well this guy has never even tried a radioshack rc car before. So ends up he drives it right underneath WATER!!! like 4 inches over the roof of the car. Sucked big time. Had to get all new servos and it didnt run right forever.

Like what has been said, make a list of what you need using te parts drawings tha tcame with your REVO, and either order from the LHS or Tower. When all your parts are in, just sit down at a table and jump in. I know that sounds crude, but there is no way to get REVO repair experience, other than doing it. The Traxxas site as some good tutorials, this site has some knowledgeable people, and many others as well, http://nitroobsession.proboards79.com/index.cgi for example. Just take your time, and in most cases, try to replace one component at a time. One you've gained some expeience and confidence in your abilities, you'll find yourself pulling it apart just to cean....

Also , the pivot ball that poped out, I would replace the axle carrier, if you just put the pivot ball back in the socket it will pop out again easier than it did the first time.
Here is a good list of tutorials, http://www.traxxas.com/products/nitr..._resources.htm

Oh, and as for letting other people drive my RCs, I will always offer to let other people drive. After all thats how to get others into the hobby, and they can`t break it any worse than I can.
