hero really another good laugh weld size is relevant to material thickness period over welding isn't going to make it any stronger!

PENETRATION is what makes a weld.

Zero penetration

25% penetration

100% Penetration.

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

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.

like everyone else i would like to see some build photos and some close ups of the y in the broken state

I wonder if there is any of those parts for sale?

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

It looks like they stuffed a solid block in the top of the y-
