Had my buggy out for the first time yesterday runmimg some practice. After adding a stiffer spring up front and a tire change i was able to put down some decent laps.
Unfortunately I also had my first breakage..... coming through a rythym section a marshall dropped a 4wd SCT directly infront of me. With no time to turn or stopped I slammed into him. Snapped the rt front shock shaft right at the lower mount. Yard sale'd the spring and spring cup. Appears it snapped right at the lower droop notch. Has anyome else had this happen? Could this be a potential weak spot with the shocks being right out front? Why did HB's not etch the shafts instead of notchimg them?
Otherwise can't wait for my rcshox pistons amd ackerman plate to come in and run it at our winter series opener this weekend

I wouldnt call it a weak spot...but the shocks are clearly vulnerable being out in front....other platforms have been notorious for breaking front shock shafts in violent collisions.......
