Broke my MERV already...
This little thing has maybe six runs on it. Two speed runs, three dirt/grass bashings, and this last one. Drove it off the roof of some sheds on the property (8', 9' roofs) and did some front-flips. Had a friend 'place' the truck on the roof, built up some speed, and did flips and stuff off the roof of the sheds. There's also like a small hill made of dirt, and the top is paved, but there's like a 2" solid thing of pavement at the top. When the truck hits it, it launches it into a front flip.
Anyways. Not sure what killed the wingmount/bodymount, but something did. Didn't notice it for a while after it broke, but here's some pictures of where it broke, and of a muddy truck. But, anyone know of a good wingmount/body mount that will stand up to this?

So err...let me see if I understand. You are 'jumping' off a 9' roof, and also slamming into a 2" concrete barrier to do front flips?
I would suggest investing in a lot of cheap replacements, because I don't know of much out there that can withstand that kind of punishment for long. Other than that, I would suggest custom building something to dampen the impact if you insist on punishing the poor car

I'll replace things as they break, the stock chassis is pretty durable.
