As for parts that break and thus will need to be replaced ...the only part I had break repeatedly was the plastic part that attached to the gears and drive shaft (can't recall the name of it offhand). But there is a replacement available made in metal that will not break. I'd upgrade that part, Exotek sells it (look them up).
Thank you, thank you.

I bet that's the alloy drive cup. As far as the spur gear, I am going to power it mildly with low torque motors so I don't tear it up, that said I've only destroyed one spur... but that was from ingesting sand/rocks (on a Vaterra Kemora). That said, is there a certain KV or turn limit I should stay within?
