Don't discount the xxxCr. Drive a well setup one at LIR and you'd be surprised how good it can be.

I've owned both and both are good cars to drive and work on. I stayed with the RB5 because I got tired of taking care of the Associated shocks. Kyosho shocks are far better than the Associated shocks for maintenance.

What are jumping the car off houses or something. It shouldn't be every 3-4 days.
