Narrative:

We were departing hdc. We were rushed due to the passengers arriving early for their trip. We got underway; but made some of our CTAF calls on the wrong frequency. We started to taxi to runway 31; but were unaware of a king air that was landing on runway 13. As we pulled up to runway 31 we saw that the king air wanted to exit the runway on the same taxiway that we were on. I told the captain lets cross runway 13/31 and we'll turn around on the taxiway and hold short on the other side. As we crossed runway 13/31 the captain stated that he didn't think that we had enough room to turn around on the taxiway. To be sure I moved to the right side of the taxiway to see for myself if there would be enough room. I looked to my right to make sure that I did have enough taxiway to the right but misjudged the distance between my wheel and the edge of the taxiway. I added power to continue and the right wheel slipped of the edge of the taxiway. We were able to get the airplane back on the taxiway and once we were there the captain suggested I go outside and look at the landing gear to see if there was any damage. On the right gear I found some mud on the brake assembly but at the time I could not see any damage. We decided to continue the trip. It was discovered later that there was some damage to the bottom of the brake assembly.
