I have done that very same thing to two of the Graphite/lightweight chassis on my X10. If I hadn't seen/done it for myself I would have thought it would be impossible as thick as the composite is in that area. I even busted the diff cover as well, it was mangled! I don't feel so bad now knowing that someone else has done the exact same thing, lol.
