Yep, thats what heppens when clumsy gits let rip lol.

I have broken top decks before on almost all my cars after very severe crashes, but haven't done an Xray deck except for a full speed 'runaway' at Mendip which broke the top deck in five places (as well as another £150 in damage!)

I have bought a spare deck just in case.
Can you remember who they were?

Yup broke an XRAY top deck just the once. Some idiot stopped on the racing line under the rostrum at Eastbourne instead of pulling off into the pit area. Hit him full speed. Unfortunately it was practice day for British juniors, which had a guest senior race; and yes it was a stupid senior who was there for a fun race who stopped, not an intelligent junior. Fortunately we had a spare deck but we lost about 3 hours practice whilst the entire car was dismantled, checked and rebuilt.

Yes I have also broken a 2011 T3 top deck [on the cars second race meet] :oops: Was set on the softest setting to give lots of flex.

I have a 010 T3 also which has had lots of punishment yet has never broken a top deck.
