I front faced around 10 jumps the other day (like i said, i was looking for the breaking point), and nothing broke on the serpent. It's like the energizer bunny. it keeps going and going and going and going!
I have had 5 people try the Serpent after running Mugen, all 5 are back running Mugen and stated emphatically "I wish I had never left, but now I know". In fact other than one Serpent e-buggy, everybody that ran Serpent that I know is now running Mugen.
Z-Cars truggys almost NEVER broke an arm either but compared to the Mugen are not even close to being as competitive.
jmoneym~ When i ran Mugen i was in denial too. i would break arms on perfect landing. I don't drive crazy, very conservative. Other better drivers then me would break to on simple landings.

I'm still a Mugen fan. Best quality truck with just one major front arm flaw.
Jermaine, I loved that .28 Ninja I bought from ya a few years back, holy crap that thing was a monsta!
My response to your comment was addressed in my above post:
Also think about this: people say "I barely hit something and it broke"
Well most of the time they have forgotten the 10 wrecks they had before that one, didn't inspect the arms, and they were probably already cracked.
I have raced too many races with my 6T to say it just breaks arms without rhyme or reason. I have never broken one that should have not broken. When I have broken one from what seemed a jump that shouldnt have broken it, it was always a couple laps after a major wreck, which probably had already cracked the arms.

Talking Novarossi Challenge 2011 Antioch, Ca.

I had a great time this weekend at the Novarossi Challenge in Antioch, Ca. at Delta R/c. The Mbx6t handled amazing during the qualifiers and i was sitting in 3rd in sportsman truggy. I had a bad start in the main and dropped back to 7th but i battled back at the end and made the podium with a third place finish in sportsman truggy. The Mbx6t rocks!!!!!!

Thanks guys and I was running the battery up front and with the longer chassis... Man it made the truck a lot easier to drive..... I had too much steering lol... I'm gonna do some setup changes and drive it even harder in a couple weeks at the kyosho race at revelation... I took two months off and I sure missed toy car racing... Man what more could you ask for?
