how you breaking the p-plate?

i've always pushed my xxx cr and never broke that part.

is your the plastic or graphite?

I have run a xxx in one form or another since I bought a xxx spec back in the day!
I only ever broke that part once and that was my own fault because it (and the chassis) were dremmeled to have slots in to get the cells a bit lower.

i have run a xxx-cr for a few years now. i have broken alot of parts but only a couple of pivot plates. it is uncommon to brake it but not impossable. there is an aliminium upgrade but it is hard to find. i have one but its on my xxx-t.

I have the standard plastic part, im not extreme bashing, mainly carpet club racing. where am i going wrong ? Ali upgrade sounds good, where would i get one ?

Rob DO NOT get the alloy one, it WILL be the worst thing you could do, it will simply pass the stress of each crash through into somthing else like the chassis. Speak to you tommorow night about it.....
