How did this happen???
 

look a the picture, those are the front dopbones out of my LS10, nothing broke and it still drove becasue i dont know how long into the run this afternoon it happened and i kept on driving and jumping it.

It only took one tumble and that was when i clipped a tree while it was about 8 feet up in the air, i didnt hit anything else and the rest of my landings were good.

wow. that is crazy. ive snapped one in half before but ive never seen that.

I bent one like that in my ls10. I also shattered a set of mt2 cvd shafts, so I stayed with the dogbones. I also have twisted a lot of dogbones, especially the skinny ones in my twin dagger!

Looks like some binding and it bent. Maybe it came out of the drive cup and then crushed against the outside of the cup and the other cup?

the suspension has ALOT of flex and twist to it, kinda like rpm stuff, im thinking it got bound up and bent when i smacked that tree and sent it cart wheeling form that high. Each drive cup has an O-ring in it to keep the dogbone centered so there isnt any room for slack, and i guess the arms and what not flexed enough to bend the dogbone but not break any thing.

btw it also snapped two of the drive pins in the axles that fit in the wheels and when it did that the broke piece still in the axle slung out and destoryed the wheel, i cut some new pins out of some old allen keys and then i put my stock wheels and tires on. now i guess i need new wheels and tires for bashing. Ill see if i can get a good picture of what it did to two of the wheels, i have never seen it before.
