That sucks. I'm pretty sure once a piece of metal, whether aluminum or steel has been bent, it will bend easier and easier each time?So I broke the (Arrma tough ) Sketer once more....!!
This time I broke the front bumper again and also the wheelie bar, both removed for good now because I'm fed up replacing them, also bent the rear shock tower I'm sorry but this proves to me that the bracing does nothing in my opinion..

Quick strip down and bit of vice treatment and we're as good as new

Changed the center diff back to stock 52T and upped the oil to 500k also changed pinion to 18T in the hope that I can get the temps in check once and for all

The next time this thing breaks easily it will be heading for the classifieds
Also, I don't think the function of the center brace is for preventing the shock towers from bending, it's to keep the chassis itself from bending? Either way, sorry to hear of the breakages. We're still waiting over here for the '22 models to be back in stock unfortunately..
Sounds like HRP is to blame from what I've read. Unfortunately I'm out of the market for any new rigs myself, real world obligations have me tied pretty tight these days..
