Thanks and I'm not dumb enough the run the truck in a brick wall. I was thinking more of jumping it in a wood chipper. Dropping it on the nose would simulate that jump I missed at the track when I lawn darted in the face of a jump. That's when the battery box broke. If I can recreate that event and the battery boxes survive then I'll know these brackets are good. If not then I'll have to get back to the drawing board.

What's wrong with doing some every other day bash jumps??? Of course, with the all important acid test........ use a camera when you do it

It would probably be more fun to go out and jump the truck trying to land it on the nose instead of just dropping the thing from the top of my backyard deck.
