The good news is that you can make the car longer now, if you want.

Yeah but alignment kinda sucks rn

holy cow thats crazy! my cousin was driving his tamiya hornet on the street and went up a ramp and crashed into a moving car the damage to both cars was horrendous the car was completely run over and destroyed he had to get a new car the only thing he could save was one of the tires he crashed at around 50kph his car was way overly modified
2
Here's like $30 in damage, maybe a bit more, not that bad
4
Okay then sounds like you got off a lot better of then my cousin XD
2
What model is it. I search for new. Is it rwd?
2
It is (or used to be ;D) traxxas rustler 4x4 vxl with some mods, there is 2wd version too. Except from plastic driveshafts which tend to break the car is rather durable and really enjoyable
3
Thanks. You can convert it now to rwd if you want. Or make it longer for better handling.
1
I mean to convert it to rwd is literally 4screws, center driveshaft goes out and boom but I prefer 4x4 overall
2
ouch. did you at least make it in the basket?
2
No ;((
1
Well yeah. Traxxas and their plastic fantastic chassis
1
Yes. I beated crap out of it for last 3 months, no damage whatsoever, now it was such big impact that aluminium chassis would bend 90°. And this chassis is $20, aluminium is like 4x more. So yes, chassis is fantastic, every car would got damage in such crash. Edit: typo

Well since the wiring shows to be long enough now would be the time to add a few adjustable metal rails so you can change the wheel base whenever u want a new body
1
Noooo the cables snapt 😭
1
Soldered them today, good as new
1
Greatt work!
2
Parts arrived today, it's good as new again
1
How does the body look?
1
It's wrecked as heck but not after this crash, it was in terrible condition before and didn't get any worse after the crash, car hit with the chassis and splitted it in half, body was just hanging on the rear shock tower
2
Damm dude time to upgrade
1
While you're rebuilding it from the ground up replace those aluminum arms with something nylon.
1
They are nylon rpm, I'd never use aluminium there, thanks for good tip anyway
1
They looked aluminum in the pic heh. But good on ya for not using AL arms
2
A bit of glue and gorilla tape 🤣 good as new
1
Ouch! Sorry for your breakage, bro - but thanks for sharing for our amusement!
How was the battery?
Well battery fell from 2.5m on concrete but I had 3d printed 'hardcase' for It to fit perfectly in battery compartment, battery is ok, 3d printed part isn't. Overall could be worse as battery was charged to 80% it would burn quite nice
Wow, nice foresight! The case would have dispersed the energy from the impact, which is exactly what you'd want! Dude, that's pro level preparation! Way to go.
