I have the Rustler which is basicly a Bandit only a little widder and a ST but i jump it off a three foot ramp thats on my deck so coming off that theres atleast 7-10 foot of air and it rarely breaks I almost fill confident enough in it to run it off my house[>:] (this just might happen within the next few days)

Im sorry , but if you have noticed that hummer is a lot tougher than you are giving it credit . The chassis and drive train is made of nothing but metal .
