Well it had to happen eventually. In 10 gallons of fuel I have only broken
the beast three times, all of which were my fault. First time I clipped a
tree at WOT and snapped an A-arm off. Second time I hit the same tree at
WOT dead on and accordioned the TVP's. This time I was drinking and
driving.............had a few buds over and we were drinking beer, eating
chineese food and zipping around the yard. I hit the ramp a touch off and
landed a 10' vertical jump square on the right front wheel. The upright
(holds the knuckle/hub carrier) snapped clean off. I continued to drive
around with three wheels for awhile then finally shut her down.

No big deal there...(cheap and easy replacement)
I think you should be more worried about the effects of beer + chinese food
come tomorrow!

Yeah, cost me $5 and I got a spare knuckle out of it as well. Hell, the
beer and chineese ran me upwards of $30! And yes, General Tso and the Hunan
Beef were felt (and smelt!) the next day.........and the day after that!
