My V1 tbone ran for about 6 months before it broke right at the front edge of the chassis. Took a pic, emailed tbone and a replacement was in the mail a couple days later.
Put the stock one back on in the mean time and it ran till I got the replacement and then I sold the truck to Ranger411

a few months later.
Awesome... 4 for the price of one so far, not a bad price as it turns out
All of the tbone bumper braces need to be custom fit, even the one for my Mugen truck so I think that's just how they do it.
Ranger, I didn't have the rear end kicking up on me, may just be an odd jump or possibly need to play with a little thicker shock fluid in the back. But then you get into tuning for one small section of the track issue. Where did you end up going on shock flies? I ran thicker than just about everyone suggests, did you go lower than what I ran and liked it better?
