I have personally crashed on to my parked car. The rear wheel to be exact. Just after a 44mph pass. The XMAXX took a nice solid hit. Body went flying, Cracked front lower bulkhead. Bent center drive shaft. ESC nearly exploded. Top brace cracked. Steering arm cracked.

The actual damage to the XMAXX was minimal for the speed in which it hit. If I had this LCG it would have bent the chassis for sure. Which would then cost me another 300 + dollars to fix. The plastic parts totaled around 60.00 plus a new ESC. Which I already had.

It's important to consider repair costs because sometimes the unthinkable happens.

Broken parts just after a 44 mph pass on 8s w/ 1/5 scale setup.
