Ooooh carrrrrr nage
Why yes!
Yes it IS possible to break almost everything on the front end of a Revo!!
I was breaking in my new motor on the 5th tank of gas in a parking lot the size of a football field with no lightpoles, cars or anything. EMPTY. Except for a curb that lines it. And I'm just turning the Revo around when suddenly one of my steering servos fails and I smacked a curb. Thought it was no big deal. Wasn't going fast really but it sounded a bit ugly so I went over to look and...
Bent Integy front skid plate
Destroyed front bulkhead
Cracked differential case
Destroyed Steering arm
Destroyed Steering arm mount
Lost spacer shims
and a big fat scar on my rmp front bumper. I was about 100 feet from the revo when it happened and it didn't LOOK like I was going fast and it did LOOK like I smacked the curb straight on but man I did.
Of course the RPM arms laughed at the concrete and farted.
