The turnbuckles are nearly ripped out of the top suspension arms ( they are screwed in at a very weird angle now )

Ball joint screw ripped out of the back right lower wishbone

Front upright bearing mount cracked

Chassis snapped clean in two

The chassis i wasnt happy about and after closer inspect its looks to be a design fault having cracked on the narrowest point, in addition the chassis is very thin due to a recessed area for the internal front block leaving the chassis only 1mm thick on the base, add to this 2 holes drilled in it (

I reached a compromise with Xtreme and have another one on the way for half price.

Will spend the week rebuilding it and see how it goes but if it happens again may consider switching to another car, any recomendations on cheaper and stronger but just as good ?
why not have a go at 2wd?
