Default T piece

Looks like im not alone with the t piece snapping. I made one from 3mm stainless steel that i had laser cut and machined. The extra weight is great and the strenth is much improved. In running a 5.5t speed passion brushless motor with a GT2 esc so power is no issue but steering is!!

i believe alot of t-pieces are breaking due to the poor suspension on the madrat or incorrectly bled shocks on either the xpro/madrat, also the kit springs in both are extremely soft

dont get me wrong the design of the car means all this pressure that the shocks arent absorbing is going straight to those hinge pins connected to the t-piece , just so happens that t-piece takes the grunt of the impact

also if you have access to machining, a stainless/brass front bulkhead would be a good idea as the front really needs weight added!
