Default RE: Basic basher

I've also seen plenty of bent TVPs and cracked engine plates. It takes a really good hit to break them (A stock Revo or LST2 would have numerous broken parts as well), but it does happen. Thing is, you can fix the issue for less than $100 (Keep in mind that I said chassis DESIGN, not chassis), and customize length, positioning of all chassis components, and thickness and design while you're at it. There is currently no aftermarket fix for this.



I have a drawer full of broken LST shock shafts that prove the stock Savage shocks are more durable.

Broken arms, yes it does happen, but in 4 years, I have broken 2, and considering what I was doing to the truck at the time, I would expect them to break. Messed up landings from 20ft in the air, and both arms were still usable, having split at only one of the 3 mounting points. The original 21/25 arms are IMO, more durable than RPM arms.
