breaking R/C stuff

Well I picked up a Kyosho Inferno ST truggy.  So far broke the following:

  • front lower control arm
  • front upper control arm
  • front lower kingpin
  • front upper kingpin
  • rear lower kingpin
  • bent right front u joint
  • servo for the throttle failed
  • battery tray broke
  • exhaust twisted but not broken
  • front driveshaft slightly twisted, not broken, still useable

Overall despite the broken parts, it’s been a pleasurable experience.  Breaking it in was fun and I seem to be on my 5th tank now.  It’s definitely not for the faint of heart, as these little machines do pack quite a punch… I laughed when I thought that they might be a little childish, especially when I started doing 4 foot jumps with them…
