Default help on the t-maxx 3.3

well i went to the track today and went for a turn/jump and over shot it and landed on all fours from about 10-12 ft above , ended up breaking a motor mount and bending the chasis.... wondering if i should upgrade the chasis or just replace the stock one, any input would be great !

just replace the stock one. unless you wana spend ALOT of money on a vantage chasis which saves weight but could still break and make u loose some cash

this is one of those rare moments in rc where the most response you will get is go stock.

Stock would work. For a flatpan t-maxx chassies I would just bend it back like I would bend back the savvy chassies. If you have a vice grip then put it in that and slowly bend it back. If it bends again then I would get an aftermarket one.

i agree wih adam,if its something you run regularly and roughly you would be throwing away good money on a after market chassis
