IMO the only weak point on this car is the kit ballcups, unfortunatly they're a unique size and the ballstud needs to be replaced as well. And before the few guys come on here and say "you're building them wrong", have you looked at a pic of Jorn's car recently? yeah, they're not Durango ballcups on his car anymore either

I am new to the machined spurs. Is this a normal occurrence vs molded spurs. I expected teeth to be wore down not broke off lol

molded = teeth burn up
machined = teeth break off
I landed the downside to a big jump and that's when the awful sound occurred. I have not inspected to see if it moved yet as I had a bad night in general and packed up after this lol

I have burned up a few molded spurs over time, but I have had good luck so far with machined spurs. Also that noise sucks as you know it just cost you money. Check your pinion good, I roached an associated spur on my SC10 and didnt check the pinion good enough and it roached another spur. So now if I roach a spur the pinion is replaced as well just to be safe.

Didnt mean to come off grumpy. I was trying to strongly emphisize that many rumors are just that, and have little basis in truth. Thats how a product gets a bad rap. Most of the questions people ask me about the buggy are related to something they heard, not something they experienced, So needless to say, i have spent a fair amount of time defending the buggy, and have become a little defensive. Sorry about that.
I have run the buggy mod and stock. In all honesty, the weak points for me have been the ball cups, rear inner ball stud being attached to the tranny, and the steering rack plate. Fix/upgrade those parts and you should have a pretty durable buggy.
