Ok here goes...

-Throttle linkage
-Entire clutch setup(flywheel, shoes, bell, bearings, screw/shims)
-Spur gear
-Fuel tank(x2)
-Steering servo horn(aluminum)

Now a little explanation...

The throttle linkage came from getting T-boned by a buggy in practice. Turned the throttle linkage rod into a pretzel.

The clutch, Spur and one fuel tank came from the CB screw coming out. First time I've had that happen, but I must say it was amusing seeing a trail of sparks when it happened.

Second fuel tank was due to the first one having a leak right out of the bag.

Servo horn got tweaked somehow and started to crack through.

Add to it the rubber hungry track surface and you've got one unexpectedly expensive RC weekend.

damn lol. i replace my tanks frequent just to be careful on air leaks, ive tossed so many good tanks my dad gives me sh.t all the time lol im still on my original Spur but im replacing it because a rock got stuck and notched a tooth a little
