Mmm!! Bendage

No other damage bar the rear tower.
Is it to stiff ?
What would have bent or broke without the tower to tower ?
Yikes.
IMO, this is the problem with a tower to tower brace.
Excessive reinforcement down the middle just pushes the weak point(s) to the outer edges of the tower.
Think Arrma should have used a stronger material for the towers.
It's crazy to me how much these bend, and the lengths people go through to reinforce the area.
Brace or no brace...this is weak area of the truck.
You gonna pound it out, or buy a replacement?
 
@J.Ramos undoubtedly yes.
That is a lot of support for an area of the truck that should be more adequately reinforced than it comes OOTB.
 
Took it apart and pounded it straight with a rubber mallet got it pretty straight but still had a slight bend.
So when I put it back together I reversed the tower so it will straighten up its self :rolleyes:
I had a couple of failed landings can't tell if it was tail or nose. Get a bit exited after about 10mins into a session !!
Still I'm happy I had no chassis taco effect happening !!
