Yea...3mm should be plenty. I'm only getting it as a preventative measure to the new X-Braces bending.

I didn't have a "dumb crash" - All my spills were extremely light. Just a few over-jumps there (not really a crash), and few underjumps here - landed on wheels, so it should have been fine. The only time the truck had an incident was just flipping from cornering too fast or something. There was no "slam into the wall at the end of the straight" incidents.

Also, no one has ever bent both X-Braces. I've actually only ever heard of two X-Braces being damaged, each time just one broke. The first was because of an overtightened screw that contorted it. The second was someone ran it with one of the lower screws only 1/2 threaded in, and it got caught on something and bent it like that.

I've never actually heard of someone damaging one from a crash.
