Not sure how everyone drives, but I'm not seeing the breakage others are seeing. At Nats, a few of us running the car (not team guys) had no issues. I even had a few spills and an encounter with the kink at Tamiya into the boards hard. I broke nothing and neither did the others I knew running it. Are the breakages happening on carpet with unforgiving wood boards?
So far I'm very pleased with the car and the durability. Just took me some time to find a setup that fit my driving style but once I did car felt easy to drive, fast and on pace with top 5 guys in 17.5.
