As Nathan says maybe ball joints etc...but nothing more!

But if like you, i was to drive your Bmax flat out into a wall.. then maybe i would break... a wishbone and a carbon shock tower etc lol the pred would survive that! (not that i have tried it mind you!)

I think it's really shows the development of the car that the two week points on the car historically were the handling over bumps and jumps and the breakages, now they are two of it's best points!!!

By all accounts it was one of the best looking cars over the bumps at the last national!! And it is now one of the toughest cars out there!!

Are there any other cars out there with such a steady ongoing development??!!

Especially as I know about some of the developments that are in the pipeline too!!
