How not to race an RC

Not good-today,had broke an awesome remote control truck have been using every day since christmas-an electric thunder tiger phoenix ST,am was outside with staff on the road-started it at full speed at one end,was stood in middle and didn't think to get out the way,it smacked straight into just below ankle-am felt leg bash to the side but hadn't realised what happened till one of the staff shouted 'the wheel has come off',it hadn't really it just looked like that,-that force on leg was the car-and that stupid leg was responsible for breaking the axle on the car,one of the pins has come out as well but dad said on msn tonight he's going to have a go at fixing it tomorrow.

And have actually been wanting to get a HPI baja [a very high end RC buggy] that goes super fast [though in reality,even though have been told can afford it,could never get one cause it's petrol driven=sensory killer] no way,will have it written off quicker than sister and her boyfriend write off their cars [dont suppose read TRA rach? avoid that line please,don't want the free taxi service to stop].

So here's the photo of the damage [with body off]:


UPDATE
Dad managed to fix the car at the weekend,he used a special type of extra extra extra strong glue [amorate? looked something like that],and used some pieces off a black coat hanger as a splint in case that mega glue falls apart.
He looked in the manual and said that the part that is broken can easily be replaced,so if it does fall apart again someone can go and get the part off model zone.
