every and each car has its owns weaknesses....as for the v1s its tough except for the 2 speed is a pain.

although i do not own a kyosho but from my observation 'durable wise' i think they r the toughest....

The Mugen Mtx 3 is a very durable car.

Mugen, Kyosho, HPI, and Serpent are all pretty durable.

on my track the ratio of damage other things being equal is 3 to 1 more damage to the serpent than the mugen and with the tc3 is 5 to 1, specially the fuel tank, one hit on the pipe, bye bye tank

I would have to agree with Seisick on that. I must have been lucky, in 5 months of racing I never broke a tank on my NTC3. Broke lots of front uprights and bent about a million pillow balls and front cvds.... took about a dozen or so one way gears, but no tanks...

Mugens are built Ford tough
