My best broken part ever...
 

I totalled one of my spare shocks...

Main straight right into a TM2 I am told, sadly I heard the "main straight" warning too late.

PS after inspecting it the list of carnage is:

* Another shock, the usual piston issue I suffer.
* Pinion gear broke a tooth.
* Which destroyed the spur gear.
* Servo saver seems to have spilled its guts.
* Somehow one of my front tyres has a huge cut on it.

That is one special damper :o I've heard similar stories on the shock shafts of the Ansmann Mad Rat, they tend to get all artistic and warp into insane shapes when physics become say... more persuasive :p

I must say though, that must have been quite an impact if you even broke parts in the drivetrain! I hope you can get your car patched up soon!

It wasn't the same impact :) The servo saver vomiting its spring was the same impact that bent the shock.

But the gears dying was a totally unexpected event even before the first heat. :cry:

Even more destruction than I thought...The top chassis plate is cracked and a camber link end broke.

WOW! Those TM2s are tough!!!!!

Yeah I have seen a madrat rip the front end off a x6 in a head on collision. Madrat continued to carry on for te rest of the race unscathed, slight makr on front bumper.

Maybe you should think about a Team C for your next purchase Gui.

now I am wonderign what would happed if two TM2's collide, probably stop the earth rotating :D

COOL!!!- looks like my passport photo!

Thats where ive seen Iain before.. :lol::p
