    Thumbs down merv didnt make the double

    so a couple of my old freinds/competitors were racing at my local motocross track so i brought my merv the night before and put it on the track. the track has many decent sized jumps but the 4 biggest our deivls drop, the step up the table top and the double. launched the step up a few times and went onto devils drop a 30 ft table will a 50 ft downhill slope lander, cleard that no problem multiple times even front fliped it, so i thought i would go for the double that is about 35-40 but is very technical because the lander is taller than the take off. i cased it by about 5 ft on the knuckle, well went to expect the damage and the chassis and the bottom chassis braces broke in half and i think the shock cap may have striped out. will try to get some pics tomorow, working on building a brace to hold it together till i get a new chassis. also the truck was completely covers in mud. washed it down and wd 40 it when i got it home but dont think it was fast enough, may need new bearings

    that sucks!
    i hate breaking the chassiss because that takes forever to replace, since you have to take the truck completely appart
