Im just kidding


I was rock crawling my new bright today and there is about a 50ft cliff in my backyard. I was crawler some nice rocks towards the edge and it flipped back and crashed off the cliff..... i find it at the bottom, 2 wheels broke off, rear corner of body is all cracked, the rear metal axle is bent, parts on frame are cracked.

I plan on trying to super glue the ends of the axles back togetherand build my own frame and 4-link.

Holy crap and I was griping about sliding off a little 8 footer and breakin shockmounts. Maybe one of the guys who did mods can donate some parts for ya will the electrics still work? If not I have a full pcb I will send ya 27 mhz. And on the axle most of us who checked on regearing have zipties holding the outside end of our axles together.

So far ive put it all back together, hacked the flares off and the piece that the front bumper would attach to.

no i havent got any new parts, i superglued the front hub and havent had a problem with it yet. Im having problems with the rear tho, it keeps breaking.

Yeah we need some clarification, i think knuckles would make more sense. Would'nt New Bright take the broken truck in replacement for the new one?
