RE: how often do you break a part on your revo
ive had mine for almost a month. break in took a few days due to wheather finally started beating on it hard this whole last week. Broke a front lower control arm for sliding on ice into a tree stump then recently today from landing tons and tons of jumps wrong i broke i guess what is the rear bulkhead or something like it. so really only 2 parts and ive given it a good beating so far

RE: how often do you break a part on your revo
I have been breaking a part everytime I go out I find, but the weather is always so crappy which makes the ground hard as rock and I never land right so I break it for that reason. Enough flips bone bad of landing on its lid or butt then im guarenteed to break something, you can't blame the thing, I don't. Need to practise fliping but it doesn't help that the jumps I use are garbage and made for bikes, so no complains.

Dang and I thought I was the only one who had breaks 
Compared to what I've seen here I've had it easy. Had a quite a few good hits but no real damage. Nothing bad enuff that I didn't have a replacement part with me

RE: how often do you break a part on your revo
I had my slipper clutch too tight and that caused me to strip a gear in my tranny. Wheels kept comming lose fixed that with locktight my ball joints as well. Then today I landed on my top after some big air and I thought that I damaged my starter motor but when i got it to the hobby shop it was working again. So we just cleaned it out. But yea that's it. Not too bad concidering my truck is doing cartwheels most the time I'm driving.
