the credit card sounds strong but doesnt it stiffen the front suspension a bit for the size of the car, also how is everybody breaking those? there quite flexable which seems like it would flex in a hard enough wreck.
i have jumped my micro-t off a two foot brick wall and the rear hub broke but i fiked it with super glue and that held up till i could get the part and i have jumped it plenty since then and nothing else has broken

your rear hub broke because of the direction of the impact. it was vertical, and the car is rear heavy (for obvious reasons) so the rear hub broke. wait till you break the upper rear control arms... those are a PAIN IN THE BUTTUCKUS to repair. you need to remove the whole rear end in order to replace em, lol.

sorry, I rabble, the front steering arms keep breaking becuase most of the impacts involve only one wheel, and the torque forces acting on the tire from impact are transfered into the steering arms too rapidly for the elasticity of the plastic, thus breaking it. long explaination short, it puts too much stress on the craptastic plastic that losi used for them. Losi is currently looking into making an "upgraded" car that doesn't have that problem. I'm going to assume and say that they will sell a fix for the rest of us who have that problem.

Man, I must either be real lucky or I got the toughest micro losi has built, because I still have not really broken anything. Got the bearings, spur set, and an extra screw set today. Cant wait to get the bearings in. Last night out of boredome I taped up my tires and had some fun sliding all over my wood floors. I also moved the rear shocks to the inside hole on the lower mount. It seems to have slightly lfted the back end and helped a very little bit w/ bottoming out. Anyhow, Ive run 15-20 battery cycles, and other than a few scratches and a body clip in place of a lost e-clip, it is still in the condition it was when I opened it!

ive had to unscrew one of the upper rear control arms and if your careful not to strip it you can remove it without removing anything, now that i have the rear hub my super glue fix isnt breaking.
is there any where to post videos on this sight, i have a few that are okay
