BD7 RS is my first TC car (I run 1/10 offroad) and I enjoy it a lot. It's good fun to keep me busy during autumn and winter.

What was mentioned, the plastic spool is pretty weak. There is a spare in the box, but when you brake the spool, chances are you lose the steel ring on the outdrives. Happened to me and a friend who runs a bd7 RS as well.

My breakages so far: The plastic spool and lost a steel ring, one c-hub, one steering block and lost a bottom king pin from the steering block.
C-hub and steering block went south after hitting a steel post at full speed, I'm not blaming the parts on that one, that was a hard hit. Made a big dent in my ego as well. I thought the steering block was ok, but the threads were damaged causing me to loose the kingpin later.
