yeah i would go with the apex simply because i can't think of anything else that would "pop" off and cause that much damage, if it was an e-shaft i'm sure there would have been a LOT more damage :P

We did. It was a blast. It was unusable so we didn't bother cleaning it off.

Trivia Question 2:

If this was a real engine, what would be the problem with it?
There may be more than one answer...

There's no oil in it. I can tell because it's not leaking.
