I was thinking about this when I thinking about buying a losi. This happens alot with arrma because the chassis is the weak point. Losi's have a similar layout. What people figured out was to use a piece of alum tubing from one shock tower to the other. No more bent chassis.

With the 1/5th scales this would not work because the engine would be in the way. But when I seen that there are different places to bolt on pipes and such I thought that maybe a person could fab up a brace that went from the rear shock tower that bolted to the engine, then another brace from the engine to the front tower. This might bend the towers or damage the diff housings where the shock towers bolt on since these 1/5 scales are pretty heavy

Just was a random thought. I don't have my truck yet so I don't know if something like that is possible.

Maybe it would have been worst. Or maybe the plastic braces would've absorbed the impact.:unsure:

On the back it bent btween rear brace and the motor:unsure: thats were 90% of the bending
On the front not much damage:unsure: it did though just a bit in front of the diff.
So i think they did their job. Sure it would be worse without
 
took a few more pics.opened my diff was no leak just a bit of grease seeping out good news(y)
