Lol, I was breaking parts on a fairly regular basis. The worst was at a park and nailed a curb a second or so after hitting second gear.. Fortunately, traxxas parts are inexpensive, it only did about $50 worth of damage. Thing was horrible on an off road track though, I had the 3.3. I sold it and got a tmaxx, was much happier.
Sold the tmaxx and got a revo, and was very happy.
Sold the revo and got a Mugen, and have yet to break anything, and it is by far the best rc I have owned/driven.
