XRay XB4 without a doubt. The only failures I see are the composite gear diffs stripping because of improper slipper setting ( being too tight ). Other than that, the are about as indestructible as a 4wd 1/10th buggy can be.

Yeah, but your talking about Josh's driving. When I had the Dex410 that I sold to him I rarely broke it, it was much tougher than my b44.1 My SWORKz is definitely much tougher than the Durango and ae though.

+1 on the Caster S10b... Not only durable as heck but also easy to drive fast.

Agreed very durable and a very fast car when driving properly. XB4 is hands down the best 4whl I've ever driven.

My youtube channel in my signature has a video of the brand new tlr 22-4. Absolutely amazing. Thick. Durable. 22 2.0 style but better. Highly recommended

I've noticed that is the most common broken part.

Don't you think the alloy shock tower would cause other things to break???

It's possible, but that mount seems to be weak link during a layover crash.

xray xb4 is the most durable,only issue is diff gears for some people but the stock slipper setting is 3x as tight as it should be,i have mine gap to where a dime just fits and my diffs last very long now,enjoy the kyosho its a great car as well.
