Incinerated ESC
It caught fire, but oddly, it still works great! FULL STORY
Busted Arm
Landing on small tires is way harder on arms.
Broken Front Bulkhead
Stock Suspension Pins Strike Again!
It slid out half way, then bent severely after crashing into a wall.
Broken Caster Block
Another bloody Pin!!! These are the bane of my existance.
They are nearly all replaced now though.

Burnt Brush
This is the result of a treacherous 7 minute hill-climb with a 12-turn armature.

Broken Body Mount
Mostly the result of working on the Pede upside-down on carpet.

Broken Armature Wire
I think some rocks got inside the can and just chewed it all up.
Broken Rear Brace / Skid
Endo'd onto the lid, and slid backward into a curb.
Wall of Death Damage
After falling 15 feet onto its back, somehow the cap came off.
Wall of Death Damage
Also, the front shock end came off, and the caster block broke!
DemoPede's Grizzly Accident
Broken Lid and Casterblock
King's Blown Idler Gear (Plastic)
Any motor better than stock will do this!
Detatched Weld
This was a defective armature that blew up on me.
Busted Arm
Big Brushless Air plus a bad landing.
Yoke Pin Slippage
This happens with the traxxas metal balls. You have to examine them from time to time to make sure the pin doesn't slip so far the half-shaft comes off.
Broken Stock Output Yoke
One of the many ways the stock yoke can fail. If they get old enough, they will eventually break like this.
Broke Truck in Half
The 25mph headon with a tree loosened it up a bit before the bad landing. Read More
Broken Steel Street Sport Axle
This was hopefully going to end broken axles, guess not!
