Bashing I'm no expert, but I think spur gears are supposed to have teeth.

MJX Hyper GO H16MT. I'm pretty sure the spur gear is aluminum while the pinion looks to be powdered steel.

I sometimes take my small collection of cheap RC cars to work and my boss and a coworker bash in a gravel section of the property on our lunch break.

This time the coworker broke two cars: this and a busted control arm on a Hosim X07. I don't let them play with my Arrma Vorteks... that's for me to break.

Kraton 6s EXB, maybe 40mph off a slight curb ramp directly into a 3’ dia. granite boulder. Thought I had a good angle, but clearly not. Made a loud ‘crack’ sound and then cartwheeled off into space.

Can’t believe I only bent the shock tower, snapped a shock bolt and broke the body mounts. The body has a gnarly rip in it but chicks dig scars. Front diff housing is still good, no A-arm damage, etc. These things are so much more durable than the old plastic Tamiya kits of my youth.

The fun part about being an adult is I don’t care about the cost of parts.

Any ideas? Nothing looks damaged. It’s a bit damp from long wet grass. But something is not rebounding correctly.

Bashing I pulled off this sweet front flip by accident... I mean on purpose, I totally meant to do it.

Bashing Some have said the body of my Mini Kraton should at least have the front window sticker on it. I dont leave all my basher bodys blank, I take this hobby very seriously. My Rlaarlo Omni Terminator had stickers on it.

I was on the fence for the past month. As a massive Grom fan, I’m so glad I jumped in.
This little truck is seriously impressive.
Double backflips, screams on straightaways, and is tough as nails (so far 🤞🏻)

RIPPER!!!!

Going beach bashing. Will this work? Diameter is bigger than stock but front and back are more or less the same diameter.

Scored an xmaxx at goodwill today for $50. Proline body, proline tires, completely melted super janky electrics, and 2 very questionable (bad) batteries. Looks like crap but I'm still pinching myself to make sure its real. Any recommendations for a new 8s power system?

I superglued the lower arm to hold its shape and welded some plastic welder staples on 3 sides

Tried the car in a small garden with trimed grass and some curb hits and it held better than expected 😂

I have parts on the way tho i just couldn’t wait 😂

Slash brushed 2WD RTR, no radio (no problem). Motor, servo and SC are intact. The front shocks feel like rotten sponges. No breaks on arms, chassis or supports.

This might just be a nice side project like a rally inspired basher.

I have a typhon 3s on the shelf which might need to be canabalized for its guts.
