It really is not our fault that parts fall off or break off, they should make the cars better   these delicate petals just are not made for the rough and tumble life they are operated in.

Seeing parts fly off a car on impact does add some drama and thrills, over the short period I have been in the slot car industry I have seen some fantastic off's, some that could never be repeated such as a de-slot from the top level at full speed to land at the bottom facing the wrong way and hit the slot perfectly to continue driving.

I have had one car that hit the brick wall and disappeared in amazing fashion with even the tyres flinging off the rims, nothing but parts left.

Back to the topic, yes spare parts especially wings are seriously expensive, I have tried to buy a F1 front wing and was shocked at the price of $20 AUD... + $9 shipping on top. This is why I have looked at 3D printers in the past and really should make the jump into buying one within the next two months, but which one?
