The jump that did it, there it probably at least 15 feet of drop that the picture doesn't show (so about a 20-25 foot drop) and i landed right on the rear end. definately not the trucks fault.

From the way they're breaking, I would suspect the rest of the chassis is flexing severely, or the shocks are bottoming out too soon. If it's a chassis problem, you might be able to find a way to reinforce the stress points somehow.

No matter what, that's a lot of stress you are expecting the truck to absorb!

from what i can tell none of the breaks happened from landing flat on all fours but usually involved an ass down approach to the ground from a good height. I did manage to break the rear of the chassis as well as the bulks on one occasion, i would like to make a center skid that incorporates the front and rear skids to act as a "spine" and increase strength and rigidity. As a student at oit i have access to CNC as well as a company that will water-jet anything i want if i provide the materials, so eventually i would like to make something like this.

thanks for the info,looks like I will be adding to my revo collection of parts soon.
Is there anyway to run steel cvd's with the LT rockers on and the adjustable wheelbase arms? That is my current setup on my sons truck.

traxxas make's extended drive cup's

Extend cups are meant for the adjustable wheelbase arms but not with the LT rockers and arms used together.

i think the reason im not haveing the sliders fail is the tekno clutch slips alot, im glad the mip cvd's are working out for you
