First couple flights I broke landing gear twice. The third time I broke landing gear and one side of frame. Then I broke other side of frame and landing gear. I replaced frame sections and made a backing plate from a piece of perforated circuit board I had laying around. I got the longer screws from the lhs Traxas clutch screws IIRC. Havent broke anything since and I had it hit pretty hard several times since. I since got a piece of carbon fiber plate and after I get a cross slide vise for my drill press I will mill one out and replace it. Looks crude but it works great.
