So. Here's what happened. Me and my mate had just given the trucks a clean then decided to take em out for a drive about. we got 100 yards away from my house then we saw a set of steps with a nice long run up to clear the set of double steps. so my mate lined up the truck for the jump. set off at full throttle then!! Hit the steel post on the side of the steps at full throttle. oops!

Yeah they can be bent back but they are alot weaker now
Just my 2 cents

that made me weak looking at the pics..lol
WOW!!! Thats impressive must have been fun to watch.

yeah bending them back is a good idea for a time but your truck isnt gonna run exact... you gotta buy tvps
That picture is some real carnage! No one can ever claim you don't drive your savage hard. You have a great attitude about it too. They break, it happens, get over it, fix it and drive it even harder next time.

See the melted body paint on the exhaust? Looks can be deceiving. It is a nice looking body though.

today i was at full throttle also with my ABmoded STS D30M (savageX) and the streets in Canada are frozen so no control over the truck what so ever. the truck swereved right and left and hit the curve at FULL SPEED. the truck did 3 flips in the are and landed up side down. luckily i had the ((((NEW ERA ROLL BAR))))), not a single scratch on the engine or the truck.
i swear by this product.....all you people with savages and with no roll bar ......MY ADVICE TO YOU IS GET IT..... this roll bar is amazing....
i saw my truck bashing all the way till a complete stop i was about to cry....
