Post race checking has revealed that the front left knuckle has bent. The plastic stock one.
I remember reading earlier in the thread someone else posting about this on their M05. I never bent one on my M01 in 2 years. The new track on Saturday did have horrible "kerbs" square blocks of wood
and I did whack the front left corner on occasion. So I don't know for sure if the knuckle is weaker on the M05 or if it is susceptible to weakening from motor heat as the prior post discussed.
Question is do I fork out for a whole plastic tree for a new one, and possibly more in future, or do I put on the alu hop up I have (I forgot to get bearings for it prior to build) and risk it getting bent or transferring shock harshly elsewhere on the new horror "kurbs".
"Try missing the kurbs"
is part of the plan
