How often does this happen?
 
After my bashing cleanup, I noticed this on my G2R. I kind of took a jump at the wrong angle and landed on the left roof side.:eek: I would have never expected one of the X braces to give. I thought the servo plate or lower chassis plate would bend first.

almost normal to me anyways I have 3 gorilla chassis not if you take a hit you will get bent even on the X chassis my got dented one time. I try to put as skid plate under to try to protect my chassis plate or anything else just me though.

Check to make sure you didn't tighten the tranny mount screws too tight! I did that on my E-Maxx with the G-Maxx Chassis and the X-Brace looked a little like that too!

Try loosening the screw to see if it was too tight...

I loosened it up a bit and ordered a new Xbrace. WOW, I couldn't believe the cost of just one brace!

Yeah, that looks like a bad landing! Ouch. They are on the spendy side for just one. I too run the skids underneath as well. Also, make sure none of the screws on the bottom are too loose. Loose screws on the bottom can cause this as well.
