Well, I picked up a TL01 from a guy on my local car club yesterday. Tore it completely down to clean it and also found that it is missing the cups and axles for the front making it RWD only instead if AWD. Well I wanted a drifter out of it anyway so I took it the rest of the way apart to make it properly RWD only instead of just having the cups and axles removed. Most people use AWD and drift tire/PVC around the tires. I want to get RWD RC drifter a shot. After putting a new motor and speed control in it then it was time to test. The car slide pretty nice.. still learning how to get some longer drifts. This morning I was playing with it, gave alittle gas and the car stepped out as planned so I let off alittle to try and hold it and it snapped dirrections and SMACK!!! Right into the curb. I have it part way fixed so I can use it till I get a new chassis.

Thats pretty much exactly what I did to my Tmaxx long ago damage wise. I dont know much about TLO1's but I wouldve hoped the suspension arm broke before the chassis peeled in half.

It already had a weak spot on it and when it hit the curb it was almost square with it. I should have put the bumper back on and it wouldnt have broken.
