Solution: Duratrax Aluminum F/R Skids and stock plastic replacement bulkheads |
Although this looks really bad, the only parts broken were the two rear bulk heads and the rear skidplate. This really brings into light the bad design of the rear bulkheads, as two 1cm x 1cm pieces of plastic are all that hold the rear end on. |
