Demian B Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I thought it would be useful and interesting to note that my new MS3s+ Fell on it's side from 8 inches onto hard concrete and is still running fine. I was showing off after the MMA fight Saturday night in a parking lot outside of BW3 and was challenged to ride up onto a mulch-filled island. The mistake was riding too slow up to the lip of the curb (sunken mulch) and trying to casually roll up and off it. The wheel stopped and I didn't force it, but did step off, and the wheel fell hard on it's side. Nothing cracked. The side pad a little scuffed as well as the case but I sanded down the rough edges. I feel it's important to share this because my Monster was taken out by a smaller fall. It's a month and a half now, and I'm still waiting on parts to fix it. Score one for MSuper's durability, and subtract 2 for the Monster's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlymex Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I believe Gotway use better materials for the shell of their new generation EUCs(ACM, Msuper V3 and MCM4). Last Saturday one of my fellow drop his ACM about 10 meters down a hill without any damage. I was not so lucky two years ago as I crack my Msuper V2 in a similar drop.

meepmeepmayer Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 My ACM's shell surprises me every time, it's virtually indestructible Newer wheels are much more sturdy than what you think looking at pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the use a better Shell material on the newer matte black V3's and ACM's.....but i have one of the glossy coated shell's from the start of V3, and this Shell is really crap! It is very brittle. The new matte Shells look much more sturdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the aqua surface surrounding the area where the ACM came to rest. Looks like a material you would find in an aquarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaughthammer Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I'd love to see the shells made from fiberglass reinforced nylon. That is the stuff proper power tool casings are made of, and those are really near to indestructible. But I guess that's way above their (and our) pay grade....
