Strength

Hi guys, I have a mostly flm emaxx and it seems quite strong. Has anyone bashed their flm stuff really hard? does it hold up good? it suposed to i just wanted to hear some stories to verify the strength before i go start bashing it hard out.

Thanks

well, aluminium is not known for it flexibility!

if you crash it hard, it will be bent, but it can take a bigger impact than plastic.

Just go out and drive. From normal driving/bashing it can't die.. flying won't hurt.. It is the landing.. :p

It can take some serious abuse, but everything has got his weak point, which will break/bent.

Wise choise keeping your maxx!

HAHA yeah the flying wont hurt! I thought i might aswell keep it, i've spent all that money on it might aswell spend another $300 and put brushless in it and be done with it :) What put me off the maxx was that my first crash bend an arm and i NEVER broke, cracked an arm on my savage and it was stock and i bashed it hard!. but my crash with the maxx was pretty extreme, 2nd gear into a curb and just before i hit i slammed on the breaks and turned which put most of the weight(11lbs) on the front left tyre and thats where it hit the curb and bent the arm a little.

Well basketti. I jumped over a pile of gravel got some dencent air slamed in to a tree while in mid flight. It snaped 2 out of the 4 bumper screws off and bent the aluminum bumper up. Can't tell it had a crash after removal of bumper. Dencent air is a bout 10 ft off ground and fly 14 ft to tree. ;)

LOL cool CHC! At the front of my truck i have stock bumper mounts, rpm bumper, stock skid and rpm wear plate. I knew i would need that stuff at the front cause i always bang into something lol. My mate has a big ramp, i might launch it off there a few times and see how it goes :).
