Slaytanic is right, I'm the guy the MGT had a impact with.
Two cars, we hit at an angle going the same direction. One of the locals got it on his camera phone.
End result of a 1/8th scale buggy hitting a MGT? Buggy broke a plastic stone gaurd, the MGT had its engine ripped right out the top. Those chassis are extremely weak and flimsy.
You can spread the load with washers but it doesn't change that the chassis is simply too thin, and made from poor quality materials. That cage will help in roll overs and other traction roll types of crashes. But if you have a head on with anything it'll tear like paper.
