Didn’t work on anything today, but seems there is a lot to do tomorrow … still there are two questions left:

Who did place this big rock on my race track?😤
Who did say you can’t bend the front shock tower at the Sketer?😵‍💫

The chassis plate is bent as well - now it looks like that:

That's some carnage!

OK Here is some pics of the manual and actual car. Everything marked in red is stock and is the way it is set up now.
Here is the link to the car as well: https://www.rc-mst.com/product_car_info.php?class_sn=1&class_sn2=154&sn=3650

Holy steering angle, Batman!

That's a very cool RC.
 
So started cutting out the body and promptly jacked it up.....Been a long time since I have had to cut out a Lexan body and it showed so I will use this as an experimental body to get use to air brushing.....Hate messing up!!
 
Picked up a well used Senton 6s a few days ago. It's all there but looks like the owner never really cleaned it. Red clay and rust in some parts. Steering linkage and pillow blocks were binding ( overtight and full of grit), a few sized bearings, and 1 leaky shock seal. All original except the servo mount.
Bought a ultrasonic cleaner to clean up the parts. So far its coming back nicely.
I bought new stock Arms, a body and wing, TRB bearings, front bumper. Got a parts breaker set of new fasteners, new pillow balls and hubs, new style motor mount, and new replacement HD chassis stabilizers from Jenny's RC. I contemplated upgrading the stabilizers and shock caps to billet but am deciding against it. I want this as close to the original weight and configuration as possible. Not looking to reinvent the wheel. Just refresh what's there and replace what's needed. The Arms will stay in the package until needed and the new body will be for the static display once I build a shelf system for my rigs.

That belongs in the what did you break today thread.
 
That's right - I just believe that I cannot move this post by mself to the other thread.
 
Yes, it was quite impressive for me as well!
Finally, I succeeded to straight out the shock tower and also the chassis plate yesterday ... everything is put together again now and looks like before the crash. However, still a robust car - the only thing really broken was this little plastic part of the shock tower brace holder (C-00180-662):
