What about this?

How about using double plates?

One CF and one Aluminum from down under.

Is it possible?

BP-Revo 01.17.2007 10:30 AM

No...the plate would not be flush with the from skid and would get caught on stuff.

Plus, I dont think it would help much. The lower part was just bent up, the upper part was pushed in (toward the tranny).

If you look in front of where the trans mounts.
It ussually bends right there. I have bent a few. If you bend it a .25mm every crash. How many does it take to bend it a 1/4in.

:mad:1 Thats only 1 of the main reasons i ditched the maxx, over 30 or more reasons, but if i were to start all over, it would be alot different.

Bp ; let us know what George says.

Mike.L 01.17.2007 05:52 PM

thanks i see it now. Yea i'd like to know what george says on this one. Hey dom thats highly unlikely to chip a peice of carbon fiber like that.

Sylvester 01.17.2007 07:35 PM

It is/was to me ; heck i bent a g-maxx shocktower going down a dirt hill. Ugh, that felt like Cr@p.

BP-Revo 01.17.2007 09:00 PM

George said he'd replace them! Thats awesome. I knew he'd pull through.

He's also thinking of making even beefier ones too, and he said he could replace mine with those, so I would have to wait. I emailed him back asking him how long the wait was.

just bend it back and let it roll....

BP-Revo 01.17.2007 10:46 PM

No...its not bent like that. Its totally warped...its not something you can bend back.

Plus, now that its bent, its probably weakened anyway.

neweuser 01.18.2007 11:33 AM

I think the one thing that is being missed here is HOW they got bent...but you can bend any piece of aluminum, but usually takes a pretty decent spill to bend the x braces IMO....ask Shayne, he knows how many trees I've plowed into, and have yet to bend one.

Bomb-Proof 01.18.2007 03:27 PM

you can bend it back. I have fixed much worse. Nothing to worry bout.
