So today i got I had destroyed my front carbon fiber diffuser...... Driving on 121 toll way coming back from IKEA, going about 90 maybe 100 hit a dip that was bigger than i thought, the car bottomed out and apparently i was going fast enough to rip the whole bottom part of diffuser. I started to hear loud noise under the car then I saw diffuser fly up in the air through my rear view mirror. and also inner fender panels got completely f***ed up

Damn, Ilya, that sucks !

Sorry that had to happen...I would have thrown a shiet fit if that was mine !

But if i had a buck for every front lip I broke ....I would be almost rich. I learned my lesson....Lips & DD'ng = replacement !

lol i have one that needs a new rear diff if you wanna buy it. it's an hpi rs4 with some good electronics. idk if you were at the imported performance bbq, but i had it out there. $150 is my asking price. other than mine, you can get them at hobby town usa (arlington is the best), mikes hobby shop (carrollton), aero hobbies (lewisville), or ebay/craigslist/interwebz.

Jdmintegra,

I didn't make it to the BBQ. Are those little things an expensive hobby? I've got house stuff as priority now, but might look at buying one someday.

they can be an expensive hobby, but only if you let it be. things rarely break on the good ones, but buying new wheels/tires/bodies/little things, adds up pretty quick. mine is well worth $200, but i know the broken rear diff is a big negative. it is probably a $15-$20 fix, but the part needs to be ordered, and you'd have to wait for shipping. they are fun though!
