We've got one and I recently bought the new motor mounts. they work great.
Previous to having it I was tuning the buggy without a throttle return spring on or a fail-safe. The buggy got away from me at full throttle. Ran about 60 feet, on a parking lot, head on into a parking block.
the only damage was:
one broken upper arm front
bent the metal radio tray bracket
bent the chassis
bent the front vertical brace bar.
I took everything off the chassis and straightened the chassis out on the edge of a table, replaced the vertical brace. Runs like a champ still.
If you do a search on ebay using the keyword "mayhem", then just make the search go to Radio Control, you'll find a guy selling a long brace/handle for the mayhem. About 24 bucks. That's my next upgrade, prolly the only one I'll do to it. It will stop all flex at the point in the chassis where the flywheel comes thru.
