    1. That depends, is this an RC car being worked on by dwarves? I think they'll need more than that no-bounce and tiny pry bar to get that untied.

  4. The trailing arm, in the background attached to the shock, disconnected from the hub carrier. When the brake was applied the control arms twisted around axle because the trailing arm was not there to counteract the torque created.

  5. Yep, he is correct. Good brakes and loss of the lower A arm (or radius arm) will do that nicely. Looks like a cheap off road quad too, light tubing for most parts, they are mostly death traps IMHO.

  8. Busted frame bracket that heim joint was attached to, shit started spinnin and next thing ya know, dairy queen soft serve style ice cream twist. Never seen it on anything but driveshafts on slicks but here we are. There's no such thing as "idiot proof". The moment you make that claim some asshole shows up with a new and improved idiot. Looks like he limped in on a busted up chassis, this time.

  9. Looks like it's going to need a cv joint too.
