    Wheelie bar failure...………3 times

    Snapped my wheelie bar a third time by landing on it from 3s jump:

    Decided to put a T-bone rear bumper on to compliment my front bumper:






    As usual, the quality from T-bone is outstanding.

    I love my T-Bone bumper (p2de). And with the p4de you have the added benefit that if you land on it real hard, no matter how much it flexes it won't allow bad things to hit your motor like on the p2de And anything will break if you land on it hard enough...but I don't really think the stock wheelie bar was made for bashing. It looks great, especially with aluminum wheels and such, but you gotta have some give there or things *snap*.

    Why do you have a Castle ESC and a VXL? Seems strange...

    Never mind! I thought the motor fan was an esc!

    Funny. I just ordered the same one. On mine a screw that holds the alu wheel broke for the second time.

    This thread is great. And some people dont like the T-Bone. Good luck breaking it. I have been trying to break mine on a rusty for years. I cant do it. Thanks for shining some light on the 4x4 pede version. Now I have to get one.

    If its gonna break it will be where the T Bar mounts to the bumper. Just drill some holes and thru-bolt it on. Then you can try to break it all day. It will never happen. I enjoy trying to break mine often. The entire truck will fall apart before it will. LOL
