Now that I have my mini x I agree the chassis seems to be much tougher than I thought it would be.

Today I drove it out side for the first time in our complex. We have those nice rounded curbs painted all yellow and smooth.

Well as a new driver I made a bad turn hit the curb and roled my x end over end about 3 times along the concrete side walk but laned on the wheels, kept going and launched off the curb.

Well since I'm testing the unit any way I played the curb a few more times. Barrel rolled it and landed on its side, did some more launches and banked turns off the curb.

I'd say I was beating on it a bit or at least I knew damage was possible but didn't hurt the chassis. I did crack the nose so its got a little magic tape on the front outside and more inside.

Its getting that nice tough car NASCAR bump and grind look.

I also managed to make a couple of bad turns and drive over some wet patches of pavement, enough to spray inside the car but nothing happened from that either.

Yes I'm damn lucky on that one.

I have stock springs and tires, it skated around a bit but was a lot of fun. I can really see some OL tires and supple longer travel in my future. I'm thinking rally car for sure.
