Broke my right rear arm, bent the hing pin and slightly bent the motor plate, not even a sorry, like he never even noticed he hit anything. Luckily only needed to buy the rear arm, bent the other two parts into shape. Might go titanium hing pins but that should have never happened.
On a side note, tried the handlebars back to back with my gold bar codes a second day now and the barcodes seem overall better, maybe it was my foam choice but both had the pro line closed cell inserts.
Lol well this is my second FULL day at the track just for simple practice... I would have expected longer lasting parts. But having someone rear end you causing you to break parts is such a problem in the RC world especially when they ignore the fact it is their fault. Same goes for at my track, but the thing is, even if I were to say "sorry", the people just ignore >_>
The fact that you mentioned proline CC inserts, I would like to ask what is the big difference using CC vs the included white inserts given in tires. Is it like a big upgrade/noticeable on the car?
PS. So jelly of the b44.2 my brother has... the b4.1 2wd platform surely teaches/ makes you obey your driving skills which vastly improved when stepping up to 4wd.
