i know im being an asshole by saying this, but....
sorry this happened so soon and cost so much of your time, man. on the flip side....that is pretty much the worst damage that can happen from chassis bolts coming loose. now that you know, i'm sure it won't happen again.
do yourself a favor and buy like 10 spur gears, seriously....they're cheap and easy to plug into your tranny if a rock flies up into the chassis and lodges into the gear (it happens) you can just pop a new gear in and roll. its also nice because you can gear your car as you please for certain conditions.
if it makes you feel any better, at least you havent had your car catch fire yet. it's a long story but i've f'ed up an RC car in just about every way possible, ha. broken chassis, shattered servos, melted batteries.....woohoo!
oh yeah, glad your having fun with it! sounds like the smell of nitro has a hold on your brain. excellent.
