i rallied my tt01 when i had the mamba system in it. i was jumping it at full throtle and had a few bad spills but no thing broke. however the power of the mamba maxx proved too much for the plastic gears the spur finally stripped. BTW does anyone know of a good spur gear upgrade?

A friend of mine slammed my HPI into the curb at about 20mph and only had a steering arm pop off.
