What did you break during the Holidays?
Here's what I broke over Thanksgiving. 
Looks like I'll be rebuilding the roto start this week. Anyone else do any damage?

The servo & servo saver on my RC18T. Melted the plastic pinion on my Losi 1/18 Mini-Slider with my 9200kv brushless motor.

I trashed the tranny in my Mini LST2 (guess I will have to get the slipper upgrade). But on the good side I did get my stamped mostly put back together.

RE: What did you break during the Holidays?
Well at least I don't feel as bad as others have broken things too. 
Does anyone know which roto kit I need to get that would come with all the gears inside? My starter simply says "roto start" and doesn't have a model #. I've found some online but it doesn't seem like they are the same as the one I have on the car itself. I need to order these asap obviously so I can play. Any help is appreciated.

For the Roto Start, I would juse do a eBay search for the motor name and rotor start, for example os cv-r roto start, and it should bring up the part you need (I got mine for $8 plus shipping)</p>

My motor just says HPI 3.0. I will check though because the hobby shop I called that is pretty far from me said they have the parts and they are $18, which I assume is just for the two gears but he mentioned something about the plate too. I will see if eBay has them cheaper. Thanks.

It's this one: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...LXFET7&P=7 But mine is an RS4 Drift not a Savage. I wonder if it matters?
I think the case is fine so I just need the gears. I guess my LHS quoted me for a backplate and gears combo for $18, which doesn't seem bad in comparison.

RE: What did you break during the Holidays?
my son ,my daughter,his friend , my brother ,and myself ,went to run our monster trucks this weekend .we went to soccer/bmx track here locally.
i got my savage running and was driving it around when my son got his s maxx running and was driving it around .we were just kinda running them
by the truck to make sure they were going to run fine before we walked over to the track. all of a sudden my sons s maxx went out of control,
and ran clear untill it hit a jump lauched ten feet into the air ,and lite in some weeds that were really tall. upon inspection we found the wires
to the servo were all three stripped and touching each other. then my brother was running his s maxx.he was in a large parking lot and going
back a forth through the parking lot .we just decided to go over to the track and my brother brought his truck back and accidently ran it into a
garbage can it didnt hit that hard it didnt look like to me but he lost all control of it. upon inspection come to find out he had broke the battery
carrier. we zip tied it back together went to go over to track and my brother lost control of his s maxx .the truck went ripping across three soccer
fields at full speed ,it jumped the concrete curb on one side of the road and i lost sight of it .i jupped in the car to chase it down and when i got to
it had hit the other concrete curb on the other side of road and destroyed the entire front end of the truck. there was not one part from the frame
forward on the front end that was not destroyed !!!!!! we went to the hobby store ,he dropped a bill on fixing it and i helped him put it back together
saturday night . what a crazy weekend! i think i know whaT I AM GETTING EVERY ONE THIS YEAR FOR CHRISTMAS. fail safes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: What did you break during the Holidays?
The body on my 'Pede has a little more rash and the body holes are a little bigger than they were.
My daughter ran her brushless Rustler into a curb 30 seconds after leaving the driveway. Gotta replace the transmission case.
Then she decided to take Willy II out for a spin. He came back missing the tailgate and spare tire, the front grill, and Barbie was sitting next to him, white knuckled.
