In my year and a bit of running the car, I've broken very few parts.

The diff outdrives are a bit prone to damage, but if you avoid running too much droop (i.e. over-long shocks), you can avoid doing too much damage.

I've broken one or two suspension arms, and a couple of uprights.

My original chassis got cracked in a big crash.

Other bits I find a bit prone to damage, but not actually to breakage, are the standard 6 and 8 deg caster blocks, which crack around the bottom, and the plastic spur mount, which is easy to strip - I strongly recommend the aluminium replacement part.

THere is an option when you are making a reply to "Attach file", so you can take a picture direct from your hard-drive

"regular camera" as is film 35mm? if so...
you'll need to have access to a photo scanner to scann your pics into your PC. from there use the attach file, 2 boxes down from the smilies.

For those of you who ever actually go there, it looks as though HPI's message board is back up, after crashing......again!

This time apparently it was because of all the pictures posted. So that feature is no longer availible on their board. Thats sad that a company's website message board can't handle people posting pics. HPI's message boards are just pathetic. They keep crashing and now they can't handle a basic feature that most all independent message boards have. The only real reason I started going there was to chat about Micros and see some people's Micro pics.

No mo pics to see now!

Too bad no one here really talks about the Micros.

Keep your opinion to yourself Darkseid, LOL!!! Tell us something good about the Schumacher website. It doesn't take a lot to crash a server and they get bogged down quiet easily. A site like this has servers only dedicated to the forums so they may not crash as often or at all. They may even get reset every night for all I know. To say something is pathetic and not knowing the operation is saying something. You must know there setup, but I understand, it's your opinion.

Are you racing this Saturday? I will be slow once again, I'm reading up on the Hellfires and Cores.

I'm guessing HPI's forum has problems because they get all sorts of people on there, not just talented and experienced and humble racers like us!
