Ive never had experience with the dogbones breaking but "popping out" is what happens more often.
When I had my mini inferno, I broke 4 cup joints (which are the bits that the wheels pops onto) in 1 week, and I wasnt even bashing my car.
When you get your tekin your car will go FAST, and parts will break if you crash, so if you ever make orders from rcmart or wherever when you break a part, buy maybe 3 or 4 more because that part is probably prone to breaking.
