Here is an extremely boring video of my buggy from about 10 months ago or so. I was playing with it yesterday and my radio went wonky and the car lost the signal and went straight into a curb breaking the front left "A" arm and suspension. I don't know if I'm happy or sad about this. It sucks because I can't play with it now, but on the other hand, I now get to buy a new "A" arm and a better suspension, then I get to take the car apart and fix it. That makes me feel manly when I do stuff like that. Well, I'm going to head out to lunch and stop by the local hobby shop to see how much it's going to cost to replace. Oh yeah, I need to check the costs of speed controllers too because my buggy doesn't like full throttle either.
*New Edit*
Bleh, went down there and did some price checking.
New "A" arm: $6.00
New Suspension: $38.00 ($152.00 if I want to replace all 4!)
New Speed Controller: $80 -$450 depending on how much awesome I want.
New Tires and Wheels: $52.00 for a set of 4
New tools to be able to actually replace everything: $15.00
*sigh* that's too much money. I guess I'll just have to get a new "A" arm, and some how jerry-rig the suspension... I'm pretty much only missing the spring. I'll take a photo tonight of the break and post it tomorrow.
