    I'll start. I have an E-Revo VXL. It's a little 1/16th. It's quickish stock.

    All stock before I broke anything haha.


    Out playin in the snow...good thing it's waterproof.


    And then the 3S lipos went in. They're from SPC racing. I use a Thunder AC680 charger. If you guys want pix of that I can get some.

    So then I broke 2 differentials. The third is one it's way out. The instant torque this little car makes snaps the teeth off the ring gear. Here's a few pix of the diff to show how small it is.




    And the spider cross. For those of you that don't know this is what allows your wheels to turn at different speeds.


    And then one night doing some 50+ runs it stood up on the front while trying to stop and flippped end over end. Ended up
    with a broken a arm.


    A little tape and we're good to go.


    And a zip tie for added security.


    And the 50+ runs continued. I ended up breaking another a arm and got a whole set of red RPM a arms that have been holding up great. Plenty of bad crashes and they've held up.



    Then I broke a front driveshaft which essentially made the car RWD, which we know doesn't work well in the snow.


    Ended up breaking another after that and bought a whole set of steels. They've held up great.

    Got bored one day and slammed it. I obviously didn't leave it like that.





    And then my brushless motor decided to self destruct a few days ago. Not exactly sure why but i'm guessing I overheated it.
