Re: Toughbox broken

Well... at least you didn't break the back of your transmission. Our toughbox's lexan back plate didn't do so hot (in stress testing) when used with two FP motors into 64:1 gearboxes as input torques. Instead of seeing if it would crack in real life, we just spent the extra weight and made an aluminum backer plate for it. True, it's heavier, but, shouldn't have to worry about it breaking now.

Has anyone had their lexan plate on their toughbox break?
