Didnt really do any bashing, flipped it over a bit and bit a curb going pretty fast, but nothing more than that, havent had a chance to do much more, Ill try to take it down to local bmx track and see what it can take there, since all the parts are interchangable wth the t-maxx I should have nothing to worry about. All the plastic has alot of memory to it (ie being very flexible) but not a real cheap flexible feel (if thats possible) its actually quite forgiving and is probably alot tougher than the t-maxx's stock plastic.
