Did you get the exhaust back together as well. Cool R/C car I must say, and it did do a cartwheel before coming to rest didn't it?
I guess one advantage of plastic suspension (apart from cheap replacements) is that it's likely to fail in one place and protect the rest of the components. Whereas a more rigid metal suspension would bend/buckle and transfer force all over the show? Maybe? I dunno.

Yeah the exhaust is fine. Using another silly little zip-tie, but I'll get some bigger ones when I go in to pick up the replacement part tomorrow.
Funny... this is the second time that a minor breakage has hidden something more major. I thought "ah no problem just a loose exhaust", and was getting all ready to go out to the track with Ollie, before realising that the reason I couldn't get the shell back on was because the body mount was about half an inch from where it should be :)
