Today I crashed my XV-01 pretty hard.

I found a wide open street to drive on. And somehow my RC ended up under a parked cars' tire. I really had to crouch down use my weight to dislodge the car. It was stuck in there pretty good.

I broke was the front carbon reinforced A-arm, bent a steering tie-rod. I thought I bent the universal joint. But instead deformed the front rim, which is no longer usable. So all in all not so bad. I had some spare bits.

I'll have to get a pair of rims to replace the destroyed one. The tires are still pretty new. Has anyone used the Acetone method of removing tires from rims? I'd hate to waste money on new rims and tires, even though I have 2-3 sets coming from China, who knows when.
