Yikes.

Bent those up pretty good.
 
That thing folded like a cheap suite.
They are so heavy that big damage happens fast.
Whats the cost to fix it?
 
Cost me $100 in parts.Hit so hard that now my radio has no steering response either.I've never had any luck with the futaba magnum jr stuff,this is the second one that did this.
 
socal,I had the baja first and hands down is the much better designed car.The beetle seems to be stronger but the baja is far more fun to drive.For the money I'd have to go with the baja
 
I hit a parked truck tire with my 1/8 scale Ofna a few years back before they started using chassis braces and it went like the letter L. As I took it apart the screws through out the car in plastic parts were even slightly bent from the shockwave I guess.
