i dunno,the y section seems to be the weakest link on these frames.
i do 45 ft jumps sometimes and dont always land them right. i know that alloy frames are prone to crack and id just be shitting myself if i knew in my mind if the welds didnt look right.

its prob more of a psychological thing. the welds are prob fine. i guess youll find out :wink:

This is the PERFECT example, why not to shove a CR500 engine in a 4 Joke chassis
This frame only broke because it was a 4 Joke chassis

This would NEVER of happened if the builder had used a 2 stroke chassis. :roll:

:lmao: :lmao:

i beg to differ r7.
i think youll find a four stroke chassis is fine since they are actually designed to take a heavier engine so the chassis should handle the 2t engine weight fine.

it was probably a bad weld in the y section that failed.
but as mentioned, i too would love to see a close up of the weld that failed.

but like bob said,prob not enough penetration :yikes:
