I missed the pole with the front of the buggy, but caught the rear arm. Broke the arm AND the axle. You could feel the hit from upstairs. It's the only thing iv ever broken on my RB5, and it would of broken any axle.

The Dex210 on the other hand, had nothing BUT breaking issues... front shock tower, rear shock tower (i never broke one, but i know lots of people who have) , rear inner hing pin holder 3 times, gear cover broke itself... and I almost NEVER crash. The hing pin holders seemed to break themselves while just driving around the track. If you include the ridiculousness of the stock ball cups, it is easily the least durable buggy ever. YMMV.
