I just went for a bash with my Asugas and some kid had been playing with stones again.
I always check for stones when i go there, but this one was hidden in the grass.
But the red Asuga found it.
The front right took the hit.
The upper and lower arms, upper and lower hinge pins, shock tower and shock are destroyed, for what i can see.
Hopefully that's it.
I will post photos later.

Some pictures of the damage:

Kraton EXB front shocks and a 7075 Muraco/Kronos front tower will do fine as replacement, for the time being.

Some yoofs keep making stone circles where I go play, dunno why but they are always in the grass or out in the open with all the jumps 😩 , is it some sort of ritual to a dark power or trying summon aliens 🤷‍♂️.

That or dog 💩 never a clean run around my way 🤣.

I might be able to help you out with some new unused spares if you give me a list mate, assuming your in the uk

This is what i like about the forum!
There's always people trying to help.
I appreciate the gesture, but there's no need for that. There's no shortage of spares. I am in The Netherlands. TC headquarters is about 30 minutes from here and Modellbau Metz has served me well in the past.

It was.
I had already made some passes past that spot, but i did not notice that stone in the grass to the side.
I was going half throttle. That must have been 35-ish mph.
It took the car at least 30 meters to come to a full stop after this.
 
So, i received all the parts i ordered.
After mounting them, i stil noticed some binding in the steering.
It turns out the Ackerman bar is also bent.
Now i have to take the front apart again.
I'll try to bend the Ackerman bar straight again, before ordering more parts.
