Snap!

I did the same but I came down on the crest of a double jump and took the back off. I broke the chassis, sheared the jesus screw, took the rear end off the propshaft and bent the front one way.

About £80 later it was all ok again.

Its also a matter of luck. The same happened to my Pred when i tried to jump a medium jump in my track. Just landed and cracked in half.

Got the plastic chassis afterwards .
