X5 chassis snap!
i have managed to snap the chassis on my X5, i have been running a 19t indoors for about 4 weeks upto now, and tonight i upgraded it to a modified. It all ran ok, then when it got to the end of the night and i was cleaning it down, i seen that the rear of the chassis had fractured all the way through the chassis to the top of the diff housing.
Anyone know if this will be a common fault, or has this just been an unlucky mould for me? Will post a pic if i can. |

Sounds unlucky! How did you crash to do it?
I have done the same fracture once, but I was to blame. We had a tripple jump at Batley and I tried to clear it, whereas I should have just done the double and hopped the 3rd... So, I launched the upramp and landed at speed backend down. the car finished the meeting fine, and I was actually lucky to have not done more. I have had plenty more high speed accidents since, the ones where you have a gutt feeling it'll be broke before its even come to a rest - but it has survived more than it hasn't! |

i haven't had any big crash's, or went a lil mad over jumps, just been getting used to it taking it easy.
Must just be unlucky! new chassis on order now anyway |
