In two testing sessions I have broken three towers all on the same jump landing a little too flat. Yes I did flip the car a few times while tuning and learning the big triple. I have my slipper fairly loose as well which is impacting the run up to the first jump. Also one of my towers was broken by an 8 th scale that plowed into me and sent me over the triple so that does't count.

After the last race I spent some time driving the car with my best set-up and was able to clear the triple more consistent and land correctly.
Tom, I really thought you were crazy until I went and raced saturday. I too broke a tower landing a huge tripple in the flat. I was amazed because I have been racing this car a while now and that has never happened. Maybe it is the kit tower because on my last kit I built it broke pretty quick as well. Replaced it once and it never broke again. I guess you could say its still my fault for landing flat in the flat.
