actually, the buggy survived unscathed, unlike every thing else that was in attendance, and i was not bashing the buggy it's too new, i was racin the track. I did bash the crap out of my revo 3.3 though.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

"scrapes on chassis". Well I for one don't subscribe to scrapes on a chassis equating with poor care, or abuse. It simply means you have run on concrete and thats part of bashing.

But that doesn't indicate that someone doesn't care for or, doesn't maintain their toys. As busted up and as dirty as my stuff is tonight, next week it will look clean, maintained, and ready to rip for the next time I run it.

The Jammin was a victim of a rock getting wedged by the on/off switch and shutting the buggy off while at full speed. The TRS is only strong enough to return it to neutral, and not apply brakes. But it was rolling along and a good enough clip (30mph+) that when it clipped a 30 or 40lb rock it tore the whole a-arm off. Both the shock (thank god), and the drive shaft survived without a scratch. I broke the upper A-arm, Lower A-arm, and a rock snapped the servo horn to bellcrank linkage. I had every part except for that linkage, so that put it down for the day.

The LSP was a victim of a big ass jump gone wrong. I was clearing double tables. Did it a few times, the 2nd time I found a rut or a rock and it got the truck off axis in air enough that what correction I did do wasn't enough. I laned on it, and broke case that the steering knuckle attaches to.

In both cases, I have all the parts for repair no problem. I'll do dissasembly tonight, clean them. Clean them again tomorrow night and then reassemble in time to head out to Monster Jam where i get to jump the monster trucks.

After monster jam the 30vg in the buggy is getting sold to Son1c, and a 528xr is going to replace it for an even more insanely fast basher buggy. I won't be happy until the buggy is so fast that the air under the chassis can actually lift it off the ground and flip it.
