Default whats wrong!!!!

i keep on breaking things in my left front wheel on my hobao pirate 10 buggy. ive broken two pins on two driveshafts at the wheel joint thing and ive ripped the thread out of the upper swing arm. and it all happens on the same wheel. can somone tell me whats wrong?

Also is it bad having two different driveshafts in the two front wheels (i snapped one of my front drive shafts so i bought 2 new better ones and then one snapped on my second usage and i had to go back to my spare stock shaft)

if u can help me ur a bloody legend.

Stop hitting things on that side? seriously, check to make sure everything is lined up and on tweeked or twisted. it sounds like maybe something is binding in your drive line on that side. check your bearings over there too.

Spin them. The movement should be smooth and almost silent.
