found out why my motor would spin but the truck wouldn't go very fast the nut was loose and thats the result.
 
Heres my picture of the damage of crashing into a lampost



There lower arms split not snapped just were they joined at seam popping of the pin and the drive rod came out the tyre came of wheel

Could of been alot worse it gave me a laugh
 
Got duct tape ? lol not to bad arms are cheap on ebay ... just reglue that tire but I'm sure you know that ..
 
update all in the pictures fixed but then found that the wheel hub snapped so looks like it be on the fixing table until my parts arrive

That sucks.. I know you have most likely read to say clear of alloy suspension part "hop ups". Most are down grades. But the hub is one part in alloy that holds up to this abuse. The plastic hub is a typical fail point on simple crashes like this..

iv been reading forums, this one and some others to find out answers to my questions and so on and so forth, in my reading i read about members taking 20-25ft maybe even higher and not breaking a single part bad landings or good ones, even watch some videos as well. so anyway i built a jump for my savage yesterday got the plans from rcbasher.com it came out really well for my first ramp sorry no pics (if you want to see it i can take some pics) anyway i do my first jump i would say about 5 or 6 ft was taking it slow landed it PERFECT and this is the result both rear

this was all in one day and only like 10 or 20 minutes of driving, so i said i have had enought took it in and did a little inspection of the truck and found this

only had them since may and had very little drive time on them but i will use them till they won't stay on the wheel anymore. needless to say my luck went down the toilet, seems to happen to me alot for some reason i can break parts just lightly driving mostly dog bones just driving around the gravel or the road and i will suddenly loose either front or rear power really ticks me off that wasn't a good day.

but i fixed my esc i just soldered what was left of the wire in the case and sprayed some liquid electical tape on them and left it in the case now my on/off switch is my plugging in and unplugging my batteries. sorry for the long post just wanted to share and vent thanks for looking and reading.

i was jumping my savage flux today, and i hit the ramp and took off my nose was starting to point to the ground so hit the throttle to correct it think i may have had to much throttle cause the rear of my flux hit so hard and boom lost rear wheel drive well i snapped my rear center Dog bone:

and i noticed that my rear tires wouldn't rotate seperatly so i took out my diff the BP gears were still perfect like new so i started :thinking: well what about the inside of the diff so i took it apart and found this:

damn that sucks but parts are on the way, and i just got it working too, lol every time i jump my flux something breaks.
 
kaboom!!!


not so much the jump that breaks it, its the landing. just let off throttle before your tires make contact & that wont happen.
