So got a new esc and receiver for the DF03 so could have a little run around with both the Avante and the DF03 so asked the missis to take control of the DF03 and line up for a race down the stree.

wrong move, as she was turning (she reacons really slowly) she creshed full speed in to the curb the results are below ...

now I have cracked a few DF03 chassis, this was the third chassis im on, but never this badly!

It doesn't help that you have alloy suspension arms, you should never use alloy suspension arms on a buggy. A lot of grip comes from the flex in the plastic arms and also they are the sacrificial part - not the chassis !!!!

Well I ended getting the alloy arms because the first time I crashed it I broe 1 arm and the chassis (oops)

I can say I haven't broke a arm since going Alloy, but I do see what u are saying and agree 100% but issue is ... I have them now

I have gone through the alloy arms & went through chassis , wheels & axles . Then i removed the alloy arms & was fine since . The alloy it way too hard & the stress has to go to the next part . So put the alloy way & when you shelf queen it , put the alloy arms back on . It will save you money in the long run .
