So the truck is all put back together with new stock chassis, new bulkheads and new front arms. It is cold again today and we wanted to play with the trucks so out we went. I started with a pair of Turnigy 2S and did the same things I usually do, mostly jumping as I wanted to know if the bulkheads would hold up. Ran until the LVC kicked in. No broken parts other than a lost body clip. Then I put a couple 3S Zippy-H in and ran the truck again. Going faster and jumping higher. near the end of the lipo's cycle, I jumped a snow bank at almost full speed, the truck went high, I was looking up at it, it clipped the Realtor's ''SOLD'' sign that's in front of our house and went into a weird flat spin and landed hard on the asphalt on the left rear wheel.
This broke the left rear rocker and cracked the left bulkhead. one bulkhead is cracked, not shattered like all the bulkheads were with the Kershaw chassis.
So with the stock chassis, the bulkheads are much harder to break, it took a real bad and hard crash to only crack one.
I am going to change all the bulkheads and go to un modified ones because I want to try going back to the stock E-Revo diffs. Later.
