That was way cool, thanks for posting it!

Does Chris or anyone have a theory about why the radius arms broke? Doesn't seem to be a common failure.

Noticed that too, seems like both sides cracked at similar location? Maybe fatigue related but they did mention whoops so maybe some yielding that then combined with fatigue.

Super cool video, thanks for sharing it!

Mitch here:

One running theory is the position of the limits straps. With the never-ending beating that this Bronco has taken(not only this race but previous races), that constant jolting of the radius arm to limit strap mount might have cracked the arm over time. While we may never actually know, that is the thought process I've decided to go with :)

Hopefully @landshark99 can chime in here with his thoughts as well. I talked to him this afternoon and got a good idea on what they think was happening. Sure sounded like an epic race this year, Mitch!
