You should also post this on the HPI monster truck forum too! This is too good to not share it to fellow Savage fans.
I too have buckled my TVPs in this manner (no less than 3 times). I've run into trees, a parked car, and curbs. But there is nothing the 8oz hammer cant fix. Though the TVPs will never be the same again (due to stress fatigue form the buckling and from beating back flat again), they will still function. Fortunately TVPs are very cheap.
I did however totally ruin a set of TVPs by nose diving my Savage from the roof of a hous onto the concrete driverway before. It buckled in the same manner as yours did, but the buckling compression was more extensive and the entire front end was about trashed. I was extremely surprised that my electronics survived; the batt box was totally FUBAR. I guess this is a testiment as to how durable the Savage is even in the most severe wrecks.

well, makes parallel parking easier
just goes to show how tough the savage is! if you can fix it with a hammer and glue, its got to be tough
