Huge 1/5th Scale RC Solid Axle Monster Truck First Run Doesn't Go As Planned

This big bad beast has so much power on 8s and really gets up to speed quickly to clear the jumps at Digger's Dungeon. The day didn't start well as I went to run it and something was wrong with the receiver...it just wouldn't receive any power from the ESC. Swapped it out for a much cheaper one that did great. Then the pinion came off. Finally after about 30 minutes of prepping it to run, it made it onto the track and was really looking good. Then I got squirrelly and had a really hard side wheel landing that tore the servo saver shaft out of the aluminum rod end. Cheap fix, but it did end the day for the Bari Builds ECD-R5. I'll get it back up and running and get that backflip I want.
