My first real crash

[sbb4us]

Hey everyone I just had my first real crash, I was trying to jump the street off a little kicker and I didnt quite make it. It went from about 30+ to 0 instantly, I shattered the front skid plate into like a million pieces broke two front bulks and broke 2 of the tie down parts off the engine mount. The guy at my LHS said he had never seen two of the tie downs on the engine mount break at the same time and he had been working there for 15yrs. Has anyone else ever had 2 of the 4 engine mount tie down things break at the same time?

Ps I have the engine taken out of the chassis so I could take pictures if anyones buildin one and needs pics let me know.

I broke 2 off of the engine mounts too. but i was jumping it off of a 6ft snowboard jump, and broke both front bulks, engine mounts, lower arms, and tweaked the chassis. i had dont the jump many times before, but that time it screwed up bad. i have vids of before it broke when i was jumping it. posting it soon...

here is a pic of the arms, but then 30%nitroboy came to my moneyless rescue and gave me another just 4 giggles, (or he is nice, can't tell)
