Picked up a win over the weekend with the R40. But I also broke it for the first time. Popped my steering knuckle off over the pivot balls and broke a universal. Nothing unusual for a nitro car.
For the first time though, I'm getting to see how ridiculous the parts ordering for the car is. It reminds me of the only thing I hated about my Tamiya cars of the past.
Frickin' parts trees!
I mean come on, why should I have to buy a complete bulkhead set, just to get a new set of knuckles? Or why should I have to buy a whole arm set just to get the pivot ball pads?(which I lost when the knuckle pull over the pivot balls)
If I have to do it, I have to do it, but that don't mean I gotta like it!
At least the car doesn't break too often, so hopefully I wont have a bunch of useless parts sitting around for nothing.
Or I guess I could take the new upper bulkhead I'm forced to buy, and mill it a little to see if I can make one thats lighter but still strong.
